AIGNS 0E THE TIMES.

The great sign of the times, to which all others
are subordinate, is hostility to the institution of
slavery. There is not only q Northern, but
Southern wing to this faction. We have renew
ed evidence Of this fact with every mail that
comes. There are traitors in the camp Wit
ness, besides the hundreds of cases which have
been brought before Vigilance committees, the
Rev. DANIEL WORTH, q native of Guilford, N.
Carolina, and minister of the Gospel, who has
been arraigned before the bar of public opinion,
and openly rejoices that he may follow in the
wake of John Brown, to martyrdom Yet
through the love of friends, he has been enabled
to give bail for his appearance ut court in bond
of five hundred dollars. G. W. VEsTAL, of the
same State, and the same sentiments, similarly
convicted, has given bail in bond of two thou
sand dollars Both of these men, it is proved,
have for some time been avowed aboitionists with
immunity. An old man, named TURNER, has re-
GENTLY been arrested and tried at Greensboro
for circulating Helpers Book, and gave bail for
FIVE thousand dollars A few days ago in Ken
tucky. twelve families were sent off in body to-
pether. They are among lis, and Of us-those
who have the traitors blood running dark and
poisonous in their veins.

WINTER.

Winter, in some respects the most cheer'ess Of
seasons, betokens we'll that the whole year is
crowned with the Creators goodness. The world
out of doors is just repelling enough to make us
draw around the freside and nestle in each 9TH
er's hearts and affections. The winter of nature
is the summer of homelove. -.
The heart, as much as the flowers, needs the
warm sun of affection and social intercourse, for
its growth and development. A thousand offices
of kindness are performed for man and beast du'
ing this dreary season. Even the robin or snow
bird, that chirps at the window for a crumb Of
bread, is not turned away empty. Thus the
heart grows and lives on the dew Of its own chari
ties. 1t is made self-strong and happy by the
power of love- A nature, sufficient to itself, yet
leaning on heaven for support and protection, is
a treasure; and such is the growth Of winter.
Still, we love to see brighter world around
US, and welcome with gladness the resurrection
Of the flowers and the songs of birds in-Spring-
They remind US that if man dies he shall live
again; and the bright new earth, in its robe of
green, whispers to the soul the hopc of heaven
and blessedness hereafter

GENERAL LANE.

In view of the fact that General LANE, Of Ore.
gon, may be nominated for the Presidency by
the Democratic party in the Charleston Conven.
|tion, we think it right to give our readers an
epitome OF his views on the question Of slavery
in the Territories. We think them sound and
statesmanlike, and friendly to the South. They
were made known to us through the National
InteHigeneer:
MIR. Lane, of Oregon, briefly stated that, while
he would not deny that Mr.. Douglas and Mr..
Pugh were good Democrats, he differed from
them in their opinions on the Territorial ques-
ton. For himself, he held that the Territories
we're the common property of the States, whose
citizens, by every principle of equality and JUS
tice, were consequently entitled to enter the do.
main with whatever was recognized as property
by the law of their States; and that property, of
whatever kind, when thus removed to this com.
mon domain, was equally entitled to protection
from the law-making power. The Territorial
Legislature could not establish or prohibit sla
very, but could and should protect the slayehold.
er in the enjoyment ofhis right to the labor of
his slave so long as the Territorial condition last
ed; and, if this protection were not furnished BY
the Territorial Legislature, it would be the duty
of Congress to afford it. -. .-.a .. ~

"Unity and Friendship" Philota is without o
blemish. Her unsel6sh love and devotion to

spirit Of the Drama. So is Rousso's perfect VIII

the whole piece. 1t were better called s.Philota"
in its present state because on her concentrates
the readers sympathy. We respectfully suggest
that the hero or heroine Of a tragedy should do
nothing and be nothing, which will mar the rea-
der's interest in his or her fate. We hope our
poet will yet be able "to compose tragedy Of
the usual length upon this subject" in which
case we humbly recommend such an alteration
in the plot as will free Antonio from the just
charge of recklessness which he incurs in going
to the feast. 5s.
We shall wait with some impatience for the
"Conspirator," in full statue. The precious NOR
ceaus, culled from that Drama, are just enough to
excite desire to see the whole. Come, Mr..

ending Of Volume which has given US unfeign.

vigor taste and versatility Of genius displayed,
are sufficient to raise Mr.. HAYNE very high in
the rank Of the standard poets of the day. When
