TO THE uNKxoWN COD"

This singular inscription, found by the
Apostle Paul, on the affairs Of worship u
Athens, eighteen hundred years ago, might
ue appropriate J written on those before
which We saw large concourse OF profess
ing Christians PROSTATE themselves on Sat
uIday last FIVE miles east If this burgh.
Although eyes have elapsed since the days
OF this ignorance and superstition, seen by
Paul on Athenian affairs, we yet see altafs
similarly devoted, though without the IN.

| We allude 10 the great yearly meeting Of
the Dnakers, or Tbmbiers, as they are cal.
led IN Bucks Diclonary--a denomination
which IS becoming very numerous in this
country. Curiosity led Us to their meeting
on Saturday. We witnessed the baptism
OF FIVE persons. They put the subject,
white kneeling, three times under water
face foremost. They used the triune Ger.
emony, with laying on the hands aud pay.
ers, even While the subject was IN the va.
ter. We thought this going il three times,
thing well enough, because, .f there re-
ally lie virtue in the water, they gol the
good Of il!
Their habits seem to he peculiar 10 Them
relves, dressing like the Dominican frsars
1lth long smooth coat, ind with lsatds
equal athose Of the mountain goat. They
have their banGue'lug rooms, and their APP
plrtmeat for public worship. They spread
long tables, and feast bounlfuly, 90 mutton
and mutton soup. Indeed, II We were to
deal as extensively in mutton, as their cler.
gy and members do, on these occasions we
should be ashamed 10 look sheep in the
face
Their Preachers nre elected by their
congregations, regularly, and there are Of
len several opposing candidates. Acting
upon this great Locofoco principle e fye.
qnent elections, they frequently eieotionetr
tor votes, and in this county, they have
treated NTH liquor In politics, they are
Lacni"cos, Of the first aa'er. They are
generally gnorant, and their conceptions o
tic Supreme Being, to whom they pretend
TO render homage, are so distorted aud
gtoveling, that the God Of the Bible is re-
ally excluded from their service. As a
proof Of their ignorance, and naturally
darkened understandings, they brought up,
and discussed al length, on Saturday, the
subject of Sunday Schools, Missionary,
Btbie, and Temperance Societies, and deci.
ded unanimously thatthey were not of God
ard injurious TO the morals of tho country /
In one word, they overlook the fact that
the Bible contains system nf lailh and
practice harmonious in all lis parts, and
necessary to be comprehended, and acted
out By all who would not worship an "rS.

The Great War Meeting.

The great war meeting which has been on the
tapis for some time, viii take place in the Park
this afternoon, at -four o'clock.
This meeting has been projected by some of our
most influential citizens, without distinction Of
party; and il is expected that will be the largest
assembage ever convened in this city. The
object of this meeting is to give full enun-
citation of the feelings ofthe people in regard to the
war on the Rio Grande, and to develope the course
OF conduct which they will adopt in sustaining the
government in every exertion it shall make to
bring it to glorious and successful issue.
The glorious news that reached us yesterday,
will give a tremendous impulse to the speakers
and the meeting, and we would advise all who
intend to be present, to learn the following song,
written for the OCCASION
War Song for the Texan Volunteers.
INSCRIBED HERO SAN JAcIrro.
The blood Of our brethren yet from the ground
Revenge, and our country doth echo the sound
Der hilltop and valley. DER forest and plain
The loud shout Of freemen rolls to the main
Montezuma's descendants will raise the glad cry
The Saxons arc coming, our freedom is nigh
Well conquer the land where Mexican reigns
And break for the people their oankering chains
Too long hath proud tyrants been lordng it DER
That lovely, long -fcered and beautiful shoros
And best be the people that down-trodden cry
The saxons are coming our freedom is nigh"
Wen ayenge every wrong every stain wipe away
And children unborn will yet bless the proud day
When our nation uprose, man, sword in hand.
And defended our soil from merciess band,
While the Aztec will shout, a hymn to the sky
The Saxons are coming our freedom is nigh
Brave soldiers to arms ye are valiant and strong
come shoulder the rife, the sword buckle on;
Arouse IN your might-lst the Empire State feel
wild thrill OF pride in your patriot zoal;
Wne she peais OF our cannon will thunder on high
Inc saxons are coming, and freedom is nigh"
The vutures have fed on the bones of our bnve
Our soldiers now bleed by the Rio Grandes wave
BUT B whom Eagle meets Eagle, in brisling array.
BY the blood OF our fathers, we'll conquer that day
Gods voice, in the peoples, comes whispering BY
Inc Saxons are coming, and freedom is nigh
Then up with our banner, the pride of the bold
Unconquored, victorious it foated of old;
u blinded the eyes of grim despots to see
me light OF Its stars DER the shores Of the free
And now 1t will vanqush-ays, raise 1t on high
Upheld by the saxons, who'll conquer die.
