still seen in several places, were doubtless built by
them, to protect themselves against the Indians, dur

work of the Indians, and may have been buried there
hundreds and thousands of years. What people or

never will be able to decide. They were found by the

in 18lO,hy his pipalaying fraudsds attcmp:iog to injure
sumo of those who were Harrison mm in that ccntest,
because they refuse to have any further association with
aman:who was guilty ef such political rilladdes as were
proven against Badger. Honet men of all parties
consider the name of this It ids r. r as synonymous with
every thing that is infamous and dishonest in politics,
and nniolitician who has any regard for his standing
will act with hint. He is not permitted to come with
in the pale of till "r.speetable" portion of the whig
party, but as that party has always a gnat deal of dirty
work to do, Bela has been placed at the head of a pa

Some weeks since he d.n•m.tced M. . TYSON for re

avow the frauds and falsehoods practised in that me.m

suggested that it might be time enough for the Forum
to denounce Mr. Tyson and the other gentlemon who
refused to associate with the pipelayers, when th e
whigs could chew that they had redeemed one of their
arguments ;4'1340. This notice roused the wrath of
Bela, and he, ur some of the Artful Dodgers who are
under his training, attempt to reply, but they took spe
cial care to avoid any reference to the "arguments" of
18 10. Mr. Tyson is abased, of course. in the choicest
billingsgate. known to pipelayers; and whors who con

But as long as the political, character of the pt oprie
toria not forgotten, such journalr , as the Philadelphia
Forum may be permitted to rail no. When Badger
purchmed the Forum, he appealed to his party to sup

were those la!lars ? A 3 .ri. , s o; the mat infarrynis

Out intended to be a source of revenue to the Govern,

limited by its income, the Post Master thinks a sound
and safe cse, which he is unwilling to abaodote though
to fix the expenditures by law, and make appropria
tions to meet them, would relieve that officer of much
labor and responsibility, which are now very onerous,
and in the discharge of which he acknowledges the re
ceipt of able assistance, rendered by those associated
with him in the department.
The amount of annual transportation of the mail, as '
ascertained on the 30th Juue, 134'2, was 34,833,991

of annual transportation on the 30th June, 1343, w is
35,25'2,803 miles: the cost of which was $x , 976;284.

either reducing the mail service below tire wants of the
public or m rising approeriatioris out of the treasury to
pay thvurrent expeases of the department. He has
been attacked by some portions of the press for his
opinions on this subject. He states individual opinions
in favor elder right to run expresses, Sr, and argues
that because the national constitution says, "Congress
shall have the power to establish post offices and post
reads," therefore "the ere/salve right" to do so is in
the United States, and Congress ought to protect that
right. The 7 ought, he thinks either to protect the lee
pertmerit against the inroads of private posts, or pro
side ways arid means to meet the expel's."s of tire ser
vice. So long as the department is left to support it
self, he deems it impolitic to permit itsbuhritees of car
rying letters to be done by private agencies; which af
ford accommo lations on only a few important lines,
but cannot serve the public generally, or penetrate the
remote places and secluded recesses of the country, all
of which, by commercial intercourse with the large ci
ties. contribute to swell the post office revenue collect
ed at those important marts of trade and general busi
ness. The trausportation of newspapers out of the
mail, by contractors, on mail routes, he also considers
illegal; speaks of his efforts to suppress the practice;
and referse ,tigress to the opinion of the present At
torney General in support of his own; which opinion,
together with the Post Master's vindicatory letter, we
recently published in this paper.
In reference to a reduction of postage, he holds the
opinions given to Congress last year. Any considera
ble reduction, if deemed advisable, should be preceded
by a provision to relieve the department from its heavy
responsibilities, mil accompanied by a proeer
regultn
time and restriction feom the franking privilege. The
Post Office ought to sustain itself, and he thinks it un
safe to abandon that principle and make it lean on the
treasuty; but any reduction of the present rates, which
will leave the Department in possession of the means
to meet its expenses, he will be pleased to see made.
Lie takes up the example of the English reformed
peer ellicesystem, based on a most material reduction,
end commonly called in this country the penny post
age system, and examines it arid its results at consid

That the basis of the political and social compact
of the United States, rests on the hroad principle al
natural equality, as first proclaimed in "The Unani
mons Declaration of the Thirteen United States," and I
we infer this self-en ident truth includes and embraces
every citi. e be he rich or poor.
That we believe the peace, dignity and happiness
of all in our Commonwealth, is necessarily comprised
in t'ic chatucter of our laws—their being founded in I
ecrtity, edicienly enacted to secure to the humblest in•
dividual the possession and enjoyment of equal and ex
act kbtice, and thatthe administrators thereof watch
fully guard this great principle, Justice. and by it alone
be 7 ,lli,leci in the execution of their official duties; be
ing entrusted with offices of honer and responsibility.
fur which they receive large salaries, that they faith
fully obey the spirit of the compact of '76, and most
dutifully observe the same while administering the
functions of the trust to them confided; utterly regard
less of the base artificial distinctions compruhen
ded in those significant terms—Wealth and Poverty.
That we bAteve the, system of Licensing business a
vocations by law, wrong in principle, and liable to in
flict great injuries upon public morals, because the li
cense privilege can be monopolised by the wealthy,
while it debars the poor man from en equal chance ec-

mit for your due consideration, the opinion of the great
Washington as put forth in his ever to be remembered
' Farewell Address.'
"It is important likewise, that the habits of thi!Ji-1
ing, in n free country. should inspire caution in those
entrusted w ith its administration, to confine tl.cm
selves wit Ilia their constitutional spheres. avoiding in
the exercise of the powers of one department to en
erstich upon another. The ftirit of encroachment,
tends to consolidate the rimers of all departments in
one, and thus to create, whatever the tint of govern-
Meat, a rs.al despotism. A just estimate of that love
of n e ver. and proneness to abuse it. whi,ll ptedomi
mites in the humau heart, is sulfident to satisfy us of
the truth of this proposition."
That entertainine these %iews, vont memorialists
earnestly request )0:11' early considerution and revision

feature of the law relating to 'lnvert License, which is
perverted, or interpreted to authorise, in the execution
thereof, a dell uism atniarilmi in its very idea.

,justice we respectfully n-1, yon
to remove, by dispassionate legislation, this despicable
r "'text of law. which has been, tA in sthl used to
palliate the odium which justly falls upon the enactors
of petty tyranny. We feel assured you will repel the

NEEDLES
A needle factory is established in Rockland County,
N. Y. The. Rochester Democrat says:—The ivire is
i:tirnt cut into lengths, which will make two needles
each. The depres,ions where the eyes me marle,and_
where the grooves nrc found in the finished article,
are stamped in both needles by a single stroke of a
machine, with which a single hand can turn off 30.000
in a day: It in then turned over to a boy. who with
another machine, punches the eye, and•again another
seperates the two needles, and smooths away irregu
larities left or madeby the other processes. But the
eve of the needle is still rouith, nail mast be bored be
no another process, which leaves it so smooth as not
to-cut a thread. After this a man grinds a banditti at
u time on a common grindstona, holding them in his
left hand, awl giving them a perpetual rotary motion
with the left, so that. when the operation is finished
they may be round an well us sharp. They nre now
to be 'cane hardened.' and finally burnished, all which
is done by simple processes, in which immense num
bers can be subjected to the operation at the same
time.'

THE ORIGINAL, ONLY TRUE AND GENUINE
LIVER PILL,
.4 Rearely for the Diseases of the Season.
[ T is admitted by patholo,24sts of the highest
, that no organ of the human body is su readily dis
onlered in its I innti.ms as the Liver. The hem of sum-
met-, errors in diet, and the never ceasing Mdisctetions
expose our met" to disease, will always on the
n.lo o nc h of winter give more or less evidence to bun
tired,' of persons is every vicinity of hepatic disturb
-1,,c-. Restless nights. dry tongues. loss of appetite,
headache, pains in the sides. slight cough, confined or
irrezular bowels, with or without fever, are some few
of the rll5 ny symptoms which indicate that mischivf is
at work in t h e system, anti that it should be cot rected.
Persons eh, seek relict from these symptom; by con-
Moat purging.; oft •rt resort to some of the ephemera!
twoducts of the day with the effect only of postponing
n rote which better remedies must finally accomplish.
Not only a:, persons residing in districts of country
;t lys t ~,;Iject tongues and bilious fevers, sutler from
torror or other deranzrmrmt of the Liver, hut also in
rile hi.;hest and healthiest regions. In our own sections
we are not five from [lgor's. Individuals who rest too
sererely in the notion of extreme health, and who at
tach no importance to the symptoms above recited,may
nevertheless be laboring under the very causes of di
sense to which their attention is now invited. In ma
latial districts, known to every one as such, vigilance
i n the Ilse of means is compelled by urgent necessity.
o bilst in heilthier regions persons really in dangernre
lolled into a rtis , l" , iccurity. Ti all such persees the Li
ler Pill is a l. It having w, it cut bashed
claims to their co:klub-two, us a mild and safe aperient,
net only tip Mt:_ the hovels ns conXortably as other
pills, hut at ;he same time acting nit the feersions of
the liver and iestering them to health. They do not
relieve the - ymph ens by mire purging, and the; invite
to an incessant consumption of pills, box by box, for
the benefit hithe yonder, but by a mild and curative
process they enable the patient finally to dispense with
their further employment.

HAs the honor to inform the public that during his
sojourn in Pittsburgh he will give
LESSONS IN THE SPANISH, FRENCH AND
LATIN LANGUAGES.
From his having made the Spanish language the
sole object of his study during a residence of two years
in Havana, there is reason to suppose that he has ac
quired a good knowledge of their language, the easiest
and most harmonious of all modern languages.
Of his competency to teach French there can be no
doubt, from the fact of his having been a clerk in a
Notary in Paris, where he hnistudied law. What Mr
Theveau here states he can prove by the Ordonnanca
of the King of France and by letters from the Minister
of the Navy.
Mr Theveau can be seen every day from 12 to 1 P
