Faith.

By Faith we are enabled to lift the veil that
covers futurity, and look beyond the cold and
silent mansions of the tomb-on the sunny side
Of the stream of death, and view the bright,
blood washed millions in the land Of never fad
ing eternal felicity! OH how the enraptured
soul is won't to leave its terrene sphere and
wander over the beautiful plains Of blissful i'm
mortality and drink from out the pollucid
spring Of rapturous ecstacy. Ry anticipation,
it will join those who have gone before, and are
now, with their gltlering, golden harps, strung
with sacred FIRE, exuting the name Of Him who
burst the bars Of death and the grave, and bro't
life and Immortality to light. Happy, bhssful,
and inspiring contemplation. By faith the
christian is enabled to build his fabric in that
bright land of spirits, "where the wicked cease
from troubling, and the weary are at rest!'
A TRAIroa.-we clip the folio wing extract
from the New Orleans Bee: 1.-THE whig men,
bers of the legislature of Indiana, in public
meeting, passed a resolution branding DANIEL
XII so, the individual who betrayed his party
and his country by voting for HAxNEGAN for u
s. Senator, as a TRAITOR, and disrIaiming ali
political or personal intercourse with him. We
understand that the wings in Indianapolis refuse
to speak to him-that his room-n mate has reno
we'd his lodgings to escape his infamous pre-
sence. and that even the locofocos scorn and
contemn the scoundrel by whose peridy they
pro6ted. Hand round the traitors name.
The public is informed that the Rev E. F.
Remington, Of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
