Strange air it may seem, it is nevertheless a fact,
that more than 100 professors of. the art of for
tune-telling flourish in our Midst, many of whom
have grown rich in the practice of their inysterious
trade. Some of those worthies dwell in out of the
way cellars—others in splendid palaces, surnpni:
ously furnished, and replete with elegance and com
tort. All of them are so arranged, however, that
an air of mystery pervades-every apartment. We
know one, situated in a fashionable street, where
curtains of damask—mirrors. which form lofty
ceiling sweep the ground—ottomans, of the most
curious and costly fashion—oruaments, to the per
fection of which luxury, and taste have contributed
their happiest combinations—have been employed
to tender it attractive. To this temple of folly
none but the elite are admitted—but the simple
maiden of the workshop may consult the Oracle
at 4 cheaper rate elsewhere. Men—full. grown,
athletic men—men who would make excellent
bla'cltsmiths and cobblers, ate frequently the dis
peosers,of fornine's favors, but 'lovely woman" is
mast generrally the presiding priestess of these
mysterious establishments. , Sitting iti her chair of
state' r euriourided 'by crossbones, skulls, and all the
paraphe nalia of the art, the priestess receives her
'visitors;sind after performing a series of gyrations
aud "manipulations, assumes the attitude of the y ;
rythoness and delivers her oracular sayings. To
some she administers large doses of flattery, prom
ising, if an artless, unsuspecting maiden, a husharid
of great personal attractions and boundlesii wealth;
if credulous gentleman,. success in all his endea
vors. Another times she employie the more pow
erful weapon, terror,until the, neophyte is driven
to the verge , of despondency. The- effect orthis
'treatment ,upon the susceptible mind of a young
and innocent female , may readily be conceived.—
She leaves the domicile of the soothsayer with her
imngination dazzled and bewildered, her passions
inflamed, and frequently, unfitted again to pursue
the ordinary - duties of lite. Looking forward to
the realiiation of the prophetic words she has lis
tened to, she often despises the plain and simple
duties,df her station, and lives in the putsuit of a
phlintom. it, however, this were- all the misery
caliaed by these unhallowed temples,- we should
not, perhaps,- feel- called upon even to allude to
them—the evil might in time cute itself.. But we
hear dim rumors of more iniquitous proceedings.

THE MORNING POST
To the Pure and Ineorruptthle Damoc
racy of Pennsylvania...
Ftriess byrtzeris:-=A Combined andsysteMatic
effort has been commenced, by.cerOin_manufactu
rare. and their friends, to form a conspiraey, to In
duce a portion of the patrons o p t' this establishment
to withdravitherefrem,tbeir support; under the false
and ridiculous plea that we are hostile to the inter
esti of Pittsbprgh. This conspiracy has been set on
foot by a few men who , aie done more to prostrate
the Democratic patty of this State and County, than
the :can:Alined efforts of all the whigs from the Ohio
to the.Defamare. -
And what sin have we committed, that the terri
ble vengeance of these men shall fall upon our de
voted head? We will tell you, fellow citizens.—
We have dared, in this community, to _uphold , and
defend the rights of the laboring classes, and oppo
sed the unholy and unjust attempts of capitalists to
crush and destroy the souls and bodies of men,
men and children.
" The heed and front of oar offending
Bath this extent—no more." '
Last winter, the_Legisliture of Pennsylvania pass
ed a law, making 'lO boors a dare labor. Every
Philanthropist and Christian—every good citizen,
who has at heart, the interests of the working class
es, especially , the females and youths of the state,
declared that the• law was just and proper. We
were in favor of the law, and from our heart desi
red to see its humane provisions carried out to the
fullest extent. We were deeply grieved when we
discovered there was a disposition on the part of the
proprietors of certain cotton factories, to vio
late the true spirit and intent of the law, by run.
ning their mills 12 or 14 hours each day. The his•
tory of the rints that occurred in Allegheny, in the
contest between factory proprietors who wished to
evade the spirit of the law, - and the operatives who
were itanding out for their legal rights, is well
:known to the public. Our sympathies were on the
side of the . poor, the week and the oppressed; but
we never have, and never shall, advocate mobs and
riots. We believe that the right will ultimately
triumph, in every conflict—for Gori is wrrn rate
Emery.
Again : An effort was more recently made by
the proprietors of a number of the Rolling Mills in
this vicinity, to l'edure the:: wages of those in their
employ. A committee of the Puddlers and Boilers
waited upon us, and gave a plain unvarnished state
ment of the facts. We felt it to be our duty to take .
a bold and determined stand against this unjust
movement, especially when we believed there was
not even the color of an etyma for such a mon
strous work of oppression. We knew that the de
mand for Iron of all kinds was never better than at
the present tinsel and we were apprised of the fact
that the raw material, instead of increasing had re
danbd * price. Indeed, the Iron busineas was
never in a more prosperous condition than 'at the.
.
14010 when this atteropt waa made to reduce.therts , a-'
get of the hands. We say, we-deemed it to he our
duty to eipose this reduction scheme, Knorr; cape.
cially because the:men who meditated the act, were
vociferous in their protestations of love •for the
" 00 0 13 -ff men --before the election ! Yes, fellow citi
zens, the proprietors of these Rolling Mills, during
the last summer, talked loudly about the high wages
and good times which would bless and comfort the
working men, .to indace - themlo assist in elevating
a " Whig" to the Presidency
Columns of a words! words! words!" have ap
peared in the Journal newspaper of this city, to in
duce the belief that we are hostile to the interests
of Pittsburgh. Tbo crafty hands of the monopolists
are seen in every line of these tirades of malignant
falsehoods and infamous libels. The interests of
Pittsburgh are as dear to our heart as 'they can pos
sibly be to any of its citizens. Hem we expect to
spend all the days allotted to us in this life. But it
appears to be the opinion of those who are conspir
ing against us, that the " interests of Pittsburgh "
can only be promoted by grinding the life:blood out
ofthe working classei—by compelling them to labor
12 or 14 hours a day, and by reducing their wages
to such a point, as totcarcely allow them sufficient
support to-keep body and soul together! Merciful
Heaven I is there any -justice in all this?
Fratow Dame - tures!, You hive read our paper
—you have observed our course ;—now, we ask you,
are We wrong , or are wti right! If you think we
'are wrong, you are at liberty to join the conspirators
to put down our establishment! But if yini think
we are right, we cell upon you as friends and breth
ren to stick to us in the present crisis, and see'us
safely 'through the conflict. We know you will do
it: We alvaost see your honest wale repel with in
dignation the thought that a few monied men, in
this community, shall put down a democratic newte
paper for advocating the rights and interests of the
industrious classes!

of the Mormons, who paesed through this city a feW

Mr. Whipple recommends emigrants to start from

fact, that it saves some distance-by land ; and much

The penpose of advertising tmealled-for Jotter*, is
to give notice:to persons to whom they-WC addfess.

airrely, none but those intended to be benefitte:d by
the act can claim any benefit (remit. -It .was not

—2 lush, 55 , 486._ 10 C0.7.5..b._
Bat here is an official duty depending entimly
on
,a statute. In the firstinstance, I infer, the post
master is left to, the - Ingot legal discretion in. his
decition,.and may act upon presumptions and-rep
utation, as , to the fact. '.l3ut in case of question or
dispute, then he shall 'receive evidence and decide
the fact. When the fact is decided, the next duty
is plain.. Until the fact is decided, the right tothe
advertising - exists in.no one. The postniaster a
lone ins the power to: heat Bcid decide that ques
tion. He can have no supervisor over him. In
the performance of that duty he acts as judge, and
is responsible to no state authority. (orthe manner
or result of his judgment. Even if done corruptly
and maliciously, no common law injury arises.—
It is a breach of an official statutory duty by an
officer of the general go%:einment, involving no
invasion of common right; and .is therefore a duty
not enforceitile.bere .
The plantiffs declare for •, 'breach of duty in re
fusing them the advertising; but they show no right
to'it. They cannot show it, but by the decision
