scousnes of being right is better than the applause of
the multitude"
In accordance with this declaration have tried to
act. How far we have succeeded, others may Judge

Ba+ Mr. Millson, for whom some of the oppos-
ton members of theHouse ofReprcsentatives voted
for Speaker, is Virginian and democrat, but
he voted against the Kansas bill, which fact, we
suppose, enabled some of the southern opposition
to condescend to his support! 1t always seemed
strange to that opposition to the Kansas
Nebraska bill and the Lecompton Constitution
should be recommendation for any one in the eye
of member of the southern wing of the opposition.
The Hon. Geo. E. Badger of n. c., assisted in
passing the Kansas bill, and we believe introduced
the amendment repeating the Missouri compromisa'
Mr. Badger is considered the head and front of tie
opposition in this State, but We never hear our
opposition friends blaming him for doing what
they abuse democrats for. Rather curious isn't it?
But the fact that Mr. Mison did not act with
the Administration democrats in the Kansas mat
ter did not move John A. Gilmer-whie Messrs
Vance, Leach and Smith of N. c., voted for Mr.
Mson, Mr. Gilmer with other opposition men,
bers, voted for Mr. Etheridge. While the oppos-
ton papers blaming the democrats for not vot-
ing for Mr. Gilmer, they might well give Mr. G..
himself lick for not voting for Mr. Millson along
with all The other members from this State
Mr. Etheridge ofTenn., another southern opposi-
ton member refused to vote for Millson because
he voted for the admission of Kansas with the Le-
compton Constitution. For the same reason the
Black Republicans refuse to support Mr. Millson or
any other national man. Really, the southern
wing of the opposition act strangely.

GENERAL LANE ON THE RIGHTS OF THE
SoUTH.-We copy from the National Integencer,
the following account of some remarks made by
Gen Lane of Oregon
Mr. 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 the Territorial question. For
himself he held that the Territories were the
common property of all the States, whose citizens,
by every principle of equality and justice, were
consequently entitled to enter the COMMON domain
with whatever was recognized property by the
law Of their respective States; and that property,
of whatever kind when thus removed to this
common domain, was equally entitled to protection
from the law making power. The Territorial
Legislature could not establish prohibit slavery,
but could and should protect the Shareholder in
slave 50 long the Territorial condition lasted;
Territorial Legislature, it would be the duty of
Congress to afford it.
RUNAWAY SLAVES ARREsTED.-A couple of
runaway slaves, calling themselves Glenn and
Green, and who say they are the property of Mr.
John Z. Sarter of Union District, South Carolina,
were arrested at the n. G.. Railroad Depot on
Thursday morning last. and lodged in the Jail of
this City-It seems they had travelled from
Chester, South Carolina by way of Charlotte, on
the Railroad as free men. They had free papers
or passes. But when they applied to Mr. Poole,
the ticket agent at the Depot, for tickets to Weldon,
he suspected them and had them arrested. They
taken before Mayor Harrison, who examined
them and then committed them to jail-Rateigh

ARREST OF REV: DANIEL WORTH.

We are indebted to Mr.. Scott, of the house of L.
NJ Beebe of Baltimore, for the following particu-
lars of the arrest and trial Of Worth, in Green's
borough on Saturday last. Mr.. Scott was passing
through on his way home, and was kind enough
to Ca at office and give us the particulars
The Rev. Deniel Worth was arrested in Guilford
on Friday, Justices warrant, and was tried
before three Justices, in Greensborough, on Satur
day. Messrs Mclean Dick, and Scott appeared
for the State and Worth spoke in his own defence.
We understand that he endeavored to defend his
incendiary conduct, and in doing read extensive
ly from Helpers book.
Some fifteen orsiXteen witnesses were examined.
1t was proved that he had used in his sermons the
strongest and vilcst ircendiary language, and had
circulated Helpers book Among other things he
has declared publicly that he has mo respect for
the laws of North Carolina" THAT ''they were en-
acted by adulterers, drunkards, and gamblers"
And that he ''would not have had old John Brown
hung for a thousand worlds.
He was held to bail in the sum of $4,000 for
his appearance at Court and $4,000 for his good
behavior. He had given bail for his appearance,
and was endeavoring to give bail for his good be-
havior The Sheriff Of Alamance Mr. Patterson,
was present, and intended to arrest him on writ
issued by Judge Saunders as as he passed from
the jurisdiction Of the Justices Court
We learn that the excitement in Greensborough
was very great and that the officers of the law
perienced difficulty in protecting Worth from the
indignation of the people.-Raleigh Standard.
We learn from the Standard of Saturday that Worth
failed to give the required bond and is confined
in Greensboro Jail.
Another abotionist named Turner was arrested and
tried at Greensboro last week. He had been crcula-
ting Helpers book He gave bond in the of 5000
to appear the of Guford Superior Court.
And another abolitonist, named Geo. W. Vestal, a
school teacher, arrested in Chatham county and
carried before Judge Saunders at Raleigh He also
gave bail in the of s., 600 to appear at the Supe-
ror C.urt of Chatham.
What coming to when such men as these can
give bail to keep them out of Jail?
