correspondence from the Capital.
 MR. EDITOR Fl heard good orthodox dis. course this morning, possibly you may think heard another. However, that may be, I listen. ea 'h the Hall of the House of Representatives lh's afternoon, to a performance by the Rev. Doct. C of N. r., who it is said was introduced at the Smithsonian Institute last Friday evening, and announced by the Rev. John Pierpont as .la''ng Just returned from Egypt" (England) despalr Of giving an adequate conception of the discourse to-day, but it will nroh,blv h. .or fectly reported Theprogramme was briefly and substantially as follows:
 Music by the Chor.-Tuns God sar. ,h. King.
 Prayer by the Rev. Doctor.
 Alter music again. the Doctor delivered dis. course from 10th Exodus, 7th verse, And Ph.. raoh's servants said unto him, how long shall this man be snare unto us Les he ,,o, ,, t" &c.' saying, if this had been written for us it could not have been more applicable to our case There was remarkable freedom in the servants of the monarch, and yet it was not presumed they were rebels, or in league with rebels-thev prov. ca themselves true patriots. It might teach TO. pubilcans lesson when they see their rulers de. grading their country. They demanded enamel. patton, and Pharaoh dared not refbse. Let ,hs people speak decree of emancipation and it must come. They did not say couRde in the Government and keep quiet. But Pharaoh eva. ded' proposed gradual emancipation, coloniza. tlon &c. But his fate was a warning to Gov ernments, which no republic has obeyed. The command was, let the people go. That would have saved the country, but he delayed till even that came too late. There had been promoni. tory Harper's Ferry insurrcctions Moses killed the Egyptian, and would have been hung as John Brown was, if Pharaoh could have caught him. We have two parties, one for Slavery, one for Freedom-one for Satan, one fer God Office. holders, oflice-seekers, the slaveholdinp olipar. chy and stump oratory are on the part of the Government. The Government is pledged to So. cure the vested rights of shareholders. Pha- raoh consented at times-then recalled his con | s>'s' -As ieSs ehC pitSuCo COuIc-NUu lL was LOO late. Will we take warning! It is costly fight. ing. Three months ago Gods proclamation would have ended the war. To-day, continuance of the war, or shameful compromise is inevita- ble. Moses could not compromise, nor apolorise, nor say he had never been an abolitonst. He would take nothing less than absolute emancipa- ton. God did not say let the slaves of rebels 20, while loyal men may hold them. But the United States are purchasing loyalty by granting the privilege of buying and selling men The judgment of God will fall on any nation which protects slavery. The iniquity of slavery is the crime of the nation. It is said we cannot make emancipation the object of the war. Why not' Is the preservation of the Union as it was.' '' any more justly an object to fight for than the. emancipation of 100000 of slaves? We are bound to make it a declared object of the War, and Emancipation condition of its close. It is not strength we need but principle-one priu- ciple-Freedom against Slavery. One act, onco performed, would save the country; and yet it ia said, it is the last the Government will perform. ana never tlll necessary. But the hour which makes that necessity manifest will be too late, we shall then have to accept the terms offered by the confederacy. When we had the game in our hands we refused to play it. But our sdyer- saries will play it. they will emancipate their slaves and ride over us, and it will not be TO. markable if Jeff Davis himself be the first Presi- dent of the newly constructed Union.
 There is no possibility of salvation for this country, except in abolishng slavery. Prayer
