The following ii the famous apostrophe to Water, which originated with Paul Denton, a celebrated itinerant Methodijt Preacher in Texas, and wis delivered by bim at a barba- cue which he prepared and to which he iari- ted tho Rangers, with the promise) that his gutsts should hare the "Best Liquor they over tasted." The smoking viands were arranged on tho tables by scores of slaves, and the throng prepared to commence the sumptuous meal, when a voice pealed from the pulpit, loud as the blast of trumpet in battle, "Stay, gentlemen and ladies till the girer of tho barbacuo asks Qod's blessing!" Every heart started, erery eye was direct ed to the speaker, and a wbisperless silence ensued, for all alike were struck by his re markable appearance. Be was almost a gi ant in stature, though scarcely thirty years of age. His hair, dark as tho raven's wine, flowed down his immense shoulders in mass es of natural ringlets; his eyes black as mid night, beamed like stars over a face polo as Parian marble, calm, passionless, spiritual, and wearing a singular, indefinable expression The heterogeneous crowd, hunters, gamblors and tomicides, gazed in rau'e astonishment. The missionary prayed, but it sounded like no other prayer ever addressed to a Throne of Grace. It was t'ie cry of a naked soul, and that soul a beggar for the bread and the water ofheavcnlv life. lie ceased, and not till then, did I become conscious cf weeping. I looked around through my tears and saw hundreds of faces wet as with rain. "Now my friends," said the missionary, "partake of God's gifts at the table, and then come and sit down and listen to his Gospel." It would be impossible to describe the sweet tone of kindness in which thjse simple words were u tared, that made bim on the instant five hundred friends. One bearti however, in the assembly, was maddened by the evidence of the. preacher's wonderful pow- Col. Watt Forman exclaimed in a sneering voice: "Mr. raul uonton , yo-r rovorence nas lied. Tou promised us not only a good bar bacue, but hotter liquor. Where is the liquor?" There!" answered the missionary, in tones of thunder, aad pointing his motionless finger at the matchless Double Spring gushing up in two strong columns, with a sound like a shout of joy from the bosom of the earth. 'There," he repeated with a look torrible as lightning, whilo his enemy actually trembled at bis feet. "There ts tho liquor which God, the eternal, brews for all his children. Not in tbe sim mering still, over smoky fires, choked with poisonous gases, and surrounded with the stench of sickening odors and rank corruption doth your father in heaven propare ihe pro-cioas essence of life, the pure cold water. But in the green glade and grassy doll, where the red deer wanders, and the child loves to play, there God brews it; and down down in the deep valloys where the fountains murmur and tho rills sing; and high on the tall mountaia tops where the granite glitters like gold in the sun, where the storm cloud broods and the thunder tones crash, and away far out on tbe wide, wide sea, where the hurri cane bowls musio and the big waves roar the chorus, "sweeping the march of God;" there he brows it, that bevorage of life, health-giv ing water. And everywhere it is a thing ot beauty; gleaming in the dewdrop, singing in the summer rain, shining in the ice-gem till the trees all seem turned to living jewels spreading a golden veil ovor the setting sun, or a white gauze around tho midnight moon; sporting id the cataract, slcoping in the glacier, dancing in the hailshowcr; folding its bright snow curtains softly about tho wintry world; and weaving tbe many-colored iris, tbat seraph's zone of tbe sky, whose woof is the sunbeam of heaven; all checkered over with celestial flowers by the mystic hand of redaction. Still always it is beautifu. that blessed life water I No poison bubbles on it8 brink; its foam brings not madness and mur der; no blood stains Its liquid glass; pale widows and starving orphans weep not burning tears in it clear depths; no drunkard's shi lek- ing ghost from the grave curse it in words pf eternal despair I Speak out, my friends, would you ezebango it for the demon's drink alcohol?" A shout like the roar of a tempest answered "No." Critics need never tell mo again that back woodsmen are deaf to the divine voico of elo- auence. fur I saw at that moment, the rain- siocary held the hearts of tbe multitude, as It were, In the hollow of hi baud, and tne pop ular feeling ran in a current so lrresistal le tbat even the duelist, Watt Foreman, di red not venture another interruption during the meet- ing. The camp meeting continued and a re vival attended it such as sever before or since as witnessed in Texas. Thb Nbw Hamfbhim TuisKsomso. Ii nolioine the fact that tbe Governor ol New Uamnshirt has set tho example of naming the 25th of November for Thanksgiving Day, and the suggestion thai all other Governors follow suit, the Albany Journal remarks "Tho 25th of November is tho centennial anniversary of tho iorrender of Fort Du Quesne how Pittsburg) whhh terminated the rule of France on thU continent. It i also tha anniversary of tho evacuation of Hew Tnrk k tka British, wbloh occurred twenty fivo years later. Washington marched-Into each place with bis victorious troops each time. These events would giro peculiar sigoifl. cane to a National Colt brat ion 00 that day." An Incident. A touching case was prescntod yesterday to the consideration and charity ot ono of the good Samaritans who aow take care of the sick, relievo the destitute, and feed the starr ing. A boy was discovered in the morning lying in the grass of Claiborne street, evidently bright and intelligent, but sick. A man who has the feelings of kindness strongly de veloped went to him, shook him by the shoulder, and asked him what he was doing there. "Waiting for God to oomo for me," said he "What do you mean?" said the gentleman, touched by tbe pathetic tone of the answer, and the condition of tho boy, in whose eye and flushed face Y saw the evidences ot the fever. "God sent for mother and father, and little broth ;r," said he, "and took them away to bis home, np in the sky; and mUber told mo when she was sick, that God would take care of me. I have no home, nobody to give me anything ; and so I came out here, and have been looking so long up in the sky for God to com and take care of me, as mother said he would. Ho will come, wont ho? Mother never told me a lie." "Yes my lad," said the man, overcome with emotion; "lie has sent me to take care of you." Ton should have seen his eyes flash, and the smile of triumph break over Lis face, as ho said, "Mother never told me a lio, sir; but you've been so long on the war," W hat a lesson of trust, and how this incident shows tbe effect ol never deceiving children with idle tales ! As the poor mother expected, when she told hereon "God would take care of bim," ho did, by touching the heart of this benevolent man with compassion and love to the little stranger. O. Delta. The Hour of Departure. The hour is coming, and it is a (earful and solemn hour, even to the wisest and best tho hour is eoming when we must bid adieu to the scenes which please, to the families we love, totlm friends we esteem, Whether we think, or whether we think not, this body which is now warm and active with life, shall be cold and motionless with death. The countenance will be pale, the eye must be closed, tbe voice must be silenced, the senses must be destroyed, tbo whole appearance must be changed by tbe remorseless band of our last enemy, , We may banish tbo remem brance of tbe weakness of our human nature; but our attempts to drive it from our recollec tion are in vain. We know we are sentenced to die; and though we sometimes succeed in casting off for a season the convictions of this unwelcome truth, we can nevor entirely re- move it. Tbe redaction haunts us still; it haunts us in solitude; it follows us in society; it lies down with us at night, it awakens us in tbe morning, Tbe irrevocable doom bos passed upon us, and too well do wo know it "Dust tbou art, and unto dust thou sbalt re turn." A life with Christ in God. I say not that wo are to be looking away to heaven as being disgusted with the world; much less to be praising heavon's adorable pu rity in high words of contrast, as if to excuse or atone for lack of all purity hero. I only say tbat we are to be much in the meditation ol Christ as glorified, surrounded with tbe glorified; to let our mind bo hallowed by its puro converso and the themes in which it dwells; to live in the anticipation of what is most pure in the universe, as being what we most love and long for in tho universe; and so we are to be raised by our longings, and puri fled with Christ by tho hopes we rest upon his person, ibis nope, tnis reacning npwara o1 the soul to Christ, is exaetly what Paul means when he 6peaks of living a life that is hid with Christ in God. When a soul is there enfol ded, hid with Christ in the recesses of God's pure majesty, oh, what airs or heal tn breathe upon it and through it: how vital does.it be o mo, and how rapidly do the mixed causes of sin settle into the transparent flew of order and peace! The Pope Proposing to make Pilgrim' ago to raieiune. His Holiness, the Pope, is as singularly quiet this summer in the ample halls of tbe Vatican as he was active and emtio last year through his own dominions and those of his immediate neighbors: but, if report speaks true, the year 183'J is to witness a very much more distant excursion on tbe part of his Ho linoss than any he baa undertaken sines bis diplomatic mission as Nunc'o to the Republic of Chili. Since the recognized supremacy ol tbe See of Rome throughout Christendom, we bavo no instance of tbe Supreme PoatifT over venturing upon a pilgrimage to tho Holy Land, and it is, indeed, iiffloult to Imagine what would be the correct etiquette to bo observed between two personages of such exalted post tiens and snch mixed attribotes as the Pope and tbe Sultan.

From tbe Ohio State Journal. Mr. Giddings to Mr. Corwln. JtrtrEBsox, Oct. 13, 1853. Hon. Thomnt Corwin: Deab Sib: The election of jesterday con stitutes you a member, of tba Thirty-Sixth Congress, and restores me to the privelcge of private citizen. Among those priveleges none is more important than that of respectfully and frankly addressing our pnblic servants on matters pertaining to our particular Intorsst. In a recent spoech, at Xonia. you are report ed as saying "that if we bought a slave territorysay Cuba under such a treaty as that by which wo obtained Louisiana, we were bound 'to respect their rights of property as a slave State if it wished to come in as such.' " I can give to this declaration no other o on- struction than an assurance that if tbe Exec utive shall negotiate a treaty for tbe purchase of Cuba and obtain its ratification by the Senate, you will feel bound to' reipict tha right of pioperty which Uu Spanish maitert hold in thtir slaves; and on account of such right you will vole for tbe admission of Cuba as a slave State, her people ask it. Coming from one to whom the question will probably be submitted, this declaration 13 certainly important. Tbe admission of Cuba as a slave State must greatly affect the interests, the right and the honor of our people. Tou will permit ma to suggest that this doctrine of "property in hurtvtn flesh" has ever beon repudiated by the people of Ohio, even whilo we were a territory. In both our first and present Constitution it is most unequivo cally rejected. In all our legislation, by the decision of all our Courts, it has with perfect unanimity been discarded. When it was first presented to the Supreme Court of tbe United States for deoision, an eminent J urist of Ohio (Judge McLsan) boldly denied its existence undor tbe Federal Constitution; and exposed its absurdity with,such power of logic and of eloquenee that no slareboldin?. judge was then willing to meet or deny his doctrine When in 1835 it was presented to the House of Representatives in Congress, and re ferred to the Committee on Claims, my predo oessor Hon.E. Whittlesey, another son of Ohiu, mot it ably and in a report reflecting honor upon himself and the State which he repre sented, he showed from official records that the doctrine which you assort had up to that time ever been repudiated by Conerees. In accordance with these precedents, I have, du ring my service in tbat body, opposed it as of ten as prescntod for consideration; tn this day, at often as it has been agitated in Congress it us been rejected. At tho foimation of our Fedorul Constitu tion, Mr. Madison declared it would be wrong to admit in that instrument that ' mvi can hold property in man," to which every mem ber of the Convention yielded a tacit adnns ston. liut tuo people were not satisn:a witn a silent negation of such doctrine, and two years afterwards Congress proposed to amend (ho Constitution by declaring " That no person shall U deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; that is without trial and conviction before some tribunal having urisdiction of tbe offense; and this proposition was adopted bv the States and now forms a pat of tbe Constitution. I need not say tbat tbo Republicans of 1776 and those ol lSo8 de clared it to bo a "self evident truth," that all men (including slaves as well as their masters) are endowed by their Creator with tha inal-iabla right to liberty, and that our Federal Government was founded for the express pur-poso of securing to every human boing within its exclusive Jurisdiction tho enjoyment of this right. Lrxl should Cuba bo annexed to the United States, and thereby brought under our urisdiction, tho Republicans will bo bound to respect tbe right of every individual to enjoy his liherty under Qe laws of the United Stales, when they will bo equally bound to reject any claims of proporty which Cubans may set up to tho souls tnd bodies of each other. To the doctrines of our Ropubtican fathors and tbe statesmen and juristsof Ohio, to the letter and spirit of our State and Federal Constitutions, to tho platform and poliey of the Republican party, you seem to have placod yourself in the most unmistakable antago nism. I say yoa item to have placed yoursed in this attitude. You are so reported, and if you have boen misrepresented in any respect, it is due to the people of our State a, well ar to yourself that your true position be known and I thus address you over my own signa ture, In order jthat you may feel at perfect lib erty to explain the language you are reported to have used, as well as to correct any error of facta or of argument into which I may havefallonin this letter. I know that you desire to be understood, an! will approve my earnostnesi and plalnnoss. I have long labored to restore this Government, to the doctrines on which it was founded. My hopea for onr country are based upon that respect for tha right of evory anomber of the human familr which rives equal protection to each, and which the Rep iblioan party are plodgod to maintain wherever the Federal Constitution holds exclusive Jurisdiction regarding slave ry as they do an unmitigated dcspotiam, and outrage upon human nature, a crimo which no aoDhlstrr can discolne, anl bo circumstances can Justify. Tou further assert that we will be braod to admit Cuba aa a slave State if she desires it after annexation. To this, I believe, tbe Republicans ere. unanimously opposed. Tha very object and design of annexation ia to extend and increase tha despotism of slavery; to girt tha foreign Catholics of Cuba, asaiswd by tha Detnoeratie prty; the power to eieei our Pnui.lant and Via President, and control the sdmioistra'iaa of our Federal Grorem mont for an indefinite period in the future. To effect this object tbe present Administration is willing to give tho free population ol Cuba superior power anl infiuoiice over tne interests, tbe rights and honor-of our puopl? to that which we ourselves exert, by allowing them three votes for every five Bluves they may hold in bondage Republicans deny that Congress or tbe Federal Government hold any right or authority thus to take from the people of the free States the control of their own rights, their own honor, and transfer them to tbe discretion and keeping of Cuban slave holders.Tou are reported as quoting from a speech of Mr. Adams upon tho admission of Arkansas as a State, in which that distinguished Statesman said he did not regard it as an ob jection to be urged against the admission o I that State that she had not formed an auti- slavery Constitution. Tou must be aware that iu the purcliaso of Louisiana, President Jcffsrson did not prufess to act in pursuance of, or under authority of the Constitution, but on the contrary be expressly said tbe treaty would be void unlvss the Constitution should be so amended as to authorizo it; and that he and other statesmen regarded tbe sutnequent unanimous approval of the treaty by the several States, a.s oquiva- ent to such an amendment; that tbe tieu'y bad, at the timj Mr. Adams fiiokc, for more than thirty years, been affirmed and Fanctioned without a dissenting voice: That sixteen years previou-dy Congiess bad with his entire approval prohibited slavery in that part of the Louisiana purchase lying north of thirty -six deg thirty min. north latitude- just as Republicans will abolish it in Cuba but leaving Arkansas with her slavery, to which no objection had been previously made-It was in view of these circumstances, with a desire to ratify the past action o( Government so long and so universally approved, that Mr. Adams made the remark. to which you refer. They could, in no respect apply to a future annexation against tho will of any State, or against the will of any respectable portion of ourpeeple. His viewsin regard to the annexation of Texas, in 183, while that policy was cherished by the Exocutive precixuly as that ofannexing Cuba is now, will give tho views of our departed friend upon a e: se exactly parallel to that of which you spoke. At the close of the 27th Congress, Mr. Adams and nineteen other members of Congress publish ed an address to the people of tbe free Status. It was dictated and signed by bim. The address, speaking of the annexation of Texas, declares that it is impossible for any man to doubt that tho formation of several nrifl slave holainq S'atiS are the real ohje.U o: the Executive. .Tho same inferences tho address will show that the particular objects of the new acquisition are the PEnPEr oatios op SlAVurtv and the etxtinuei awnl- aney of the slav i power we hold there is no political nccossity for it, no advunt:igo tob-.-derivtd from it, and there is nc Constitutional pouter in any depvtm'nt of QjvsrnmrV. to fjftil That no act of Congress, uo treaty ol'ar- nexation can impose the leatt olliy ition um the several Statu if f,'i Union to tuWi to such unwarrantable acts or to receive into t'teir family or fraternity such illegitimite prngmy We hesitate not to Bay that annexation by any act orproceeding of the FederalGuvi-rn-mont.orany of its departments, would be Hi..-tical with dissolution. Such were the opinions of Mr. Adams,left on recordoverhisownsignaturo.and I feel author- zed to say he cherished them while ho lived. It is true that the free States preferred submission; they went into a new union with Texas rather than separate from tho slove States. They joined in the war, par'icip iled in the sacrifice of eighty thousui I hum in vio tims, and incurred a debt of two hundred million dollars; and to this day the peo.li ul the free States are taxed millions of dollars annually to protect the people of Texas in their slavery, and maintain tbe ascendancy of the Democratic party by aid of Texan veles. I may also add that the unmanly surrender to that outrage, siruck tbe Wliijr, puty with moral and political . death. And I speak the solemn coniction of my own mi-d when I say, that surrender by the Republican jp re gard to Cuba, ought to be attended with the like result. But tho dootrines avowed by Mr. Adams remain uncnangju. l men euoscnuoi to them. I signed tho address. It spoke the sentiments of my heart. Those- opinions havo been strengthened and intensified by fifteen years of observation and experience. Resistance to tbe extension and increase ol tbe slave power constitutes an essential clo ment in the Republican platfurm on which that party has risen ard extended until at this lime it wields the moral power of the nation. The surrender of this doctrine would be a surrender, a disbandonmentof tho only party whole triumph is as su-o as iU adherence to tba principles on which it was founded. It waa with inexpressible pa in tbat I read the remarks on Ibis subject which you are re-reported to havo made. Tour nomernus friends in this part of the State. I think, unite with me in a cordial desire to sua mire full expression of the reasons on which you found your poinion. communicated through the pub'.la proas, and to attaia this ohjjct I have addressed yoa with so much frankness.
