Downward Course Of the North.


On the downward rond of moral degrade
ton there is no fixed stopping place. For
years aud years the Free States have been
trying TO make one. They have resolved
mud re-resolved at every successive stage,
that beyond that no human power should
make them go, and thus far the only effect
" to expose their iraiIiy T6is is always the
way with the weak in purpose. They'yield
to stronger will until yielding becomes a
habit, aud there is no limit to il but in the
pleasure OF the superior. To say that the
Slavcholding interest will impose upon itself
any restraint in the spirit of dictntion Which
il INDUCES, is at once 10 fly in the face of all
past experience. II has never yet shown an
inclination TO he content with less than the
absolute control Of the national policy to
sn5servc its own ends. One after another,
every barrier raised against II has been regu-
l0rly beaten down, until now, when, after
being required 10 overcome every remaining
moral scrliple in this abominabe law, we
find ourselves only better prey for the ty
rants who, under the old plea of necessity,
are even now concoctng new demands of
additional securities for their wrong doing.
To all this reasoning which makes of the
Free States such contemplate instruments
to perpetuatc evil in the world, !, for one,
anl iniiexibly opposc,l-I believe il rotten in
in lis basis of morality and false in its sug-
gestion of cxpedicncy. Neither can | listen
with moments patience to those who coun-
sci quiet as remedy for the difficulties of
our situation. There can be no quiet over a
powder magazine, excepting that quiet which
follows destruction. The only true way TO
get ii is 10 take care and remore The pOicder.-

FRANCE, SPAIN AND THE CUBAN AFFAIR.
We observe in the message fthe President of France,
delivered on the 18th utmo TO the Legislative Assembly
OF that Republic, the following passage:
"Iu Spain we have seen with pleasure the ties which
united the two countries drawn closer by the mutual
sympathy of the two Governments. AS soon as the
French Government learned the criminal attack made
by adventurers the Isle of Cuba we sent new forces
to the commander of the West India station with in
functions to unite his efforts with those of the Spanish
authorities to prevent the repetition Of similar attacks"
If such an act OF comfy was due from the Govern
ment OF France-having little or no direct interest in
the atiar-how much more incumbent on our own Gov.
ernment was such interposition, when it was on our
shores that the predatory expedition was prepared and
in contravention OF laws as well as n viola.
ton OF the law of nations?
NotmanY days ago we stated that information had
been received at the Department OF State of the issuing
OF orders by the Spanish Government for the release OF
the remainder OF the Contoy prisoners The mere
statement OF this naked fact does not we understand
do justice TO the of the Spanish Government in
regard to the matter; and, therefore, we embrace this
occasion to add that the release of the remaining Con.
toy prisoners was voluntary of grace on the part
oil The Queen Government, designed TO manifest her
respect tor the sentiments OF good faith and Justice which
had been avowed by the American Government and
especially by the Secretary OF State in regard to the
affairs OF Cuba. 1t seems TO to be due to the liberal
spirit in which the course of Government has been
met by The Spanish Sovereign that the fact should be
published, as ii has come to knowledge
inteltlgeHcer.

BOUNTY LAND LAW.

We have been requested to publish for general infor-
nation, the following letter addressed to member OF
Congress by the Commissioner of Pensions. We are
further requested to ask insertion of it in the daily
papers OF this city as we'll in those of the country at
large-it being supposed TO be matter lin which the
public are generally interested. The publishers of The
laws are particularly desired to insert it.-Republic.
PENSION OFFICE,
DECEMBER 80 1850.
SIR Your letter of the 18th instant enclosing inter-
rogaIores from some OF your constituents the better
enable them to prepare their declarations the Bounty
Land Law OF September last, has been duly received
and not replied to earlier because of the great number
OF communications on that subject daily received by the
mails and other sources.
Thousands interested in the law do not at this time,
apprehend, fully appreciate the difficulties which eur
round u.s. The act passed the 18th OF September, and
soon thereafter copy published and extens ively
circulated, accompanied by the necessary forms and
instructions to facilitate its due execution. In addition
to these forms and Instructions circular was also is
sued from this Bureau giving various items OF info rma
ton the Bounty Land Act, but Notwithstanding
these efforts to diuse light questions are constant
y sprnging up and urgent appeals made for immediate
answers to enable the parties to prepare their decara
tons. This conceive, is an erroneous view of the
subject. The declaration according to the forms and
instructions already prescribed, ought 10 be forthwith
executed and ii we need more or different Information
from the parties, they will be Immediately advised
thereof.
Congress this time engaged 10 providing addition
al force, and an improved organization, to accele-
rate the execution OF the law, and warrants will be
ready from the eneravers press AS new questions
arise they will be promptly examined and settled upon
the papers presented and such decisions recorded for
general information. To decide by way Of anticipation
upon cases informally or alphabetically stated would
not only be extremely ineonvenient, but probably
productive of mischief 1t is earnestly requested
therefore, that all persons interested either benefit
