A curious letter from Utah correspondent will
be found in another column. He is evidently dis
posed to see things in no very favorable Light for
the Mpnncns and in one or two cases is inclined to
fix very grave suspicious upon them, upon what
seems to US very slender evidence. Yet bis account
of matters and things in the Valley, though to be re-
ceiyed perhaps with some grains of allowance, cor
responds sufficiently with what might be expected.
His statements upon the subject Of Slavery are Gu
rious. and we do not doubt authentic. Those who
have not hesitated to follow the example Of the pa
trisrehs in the matter of poligamy, can hardly fail
10 find abundant scripture warrant for the intro
duc.on of Slavery, especially as they have in this
the counteoance and consent Of SO many of our
learned diynes.
Negro slavery it is true, is not likely to be intro.
duced into Utah to any considerable extent; bat in
the slavery Of Indians the Mormons have re-
source and temptation close at hand, nor can it be
expected that as TO this matter they will exhibit
greater degree of sefdenisl than was shown by the
early colonists of New. England and Virginia. Be-
sides, it is with them matter Of policy. II often
happens that two weights arc easier to carry than
one. Slavery viii help to balance poygamy. Po-
lygamy alone might prove very serious obstacle to
their admission into the Union; but what is there

themselves from the necessity Of medGing with

Long before the days of Mr.. Isaac Bickerstah,
there was q popular propensity for Peepins into
futurity and the articles on 1.-THE Witches Of
New-Yolk,' printed in The TRIBUNE, show
that some Of at least are no wiser than our
grandmothers. What with Vailed Ladies,
Bohemian Girls" "ClairvOyant Dsctresses y
and other such fly, the mdwiyes Of Nemesis, it is
our own fault if We do not have made patent whs.-
ever Of happiness or horror may be in store for us.
1t must be confessed, however, that ne have not,
esihetically speaking, much improved upon the
ancient itye Of sOothsayers. The reader OF poetry
will remember Otway's description Of witch, for
it is one of the ceverest things written by that un.
fortunate drsmatiss. There was something pie
tulesqge about wrinkled and doubled crone Qike
John Nea,s American eagle, with fierce gray
eye and bending beak, )mumbling, in red cloak,
under hedge. TON, as she fumbled ths palm Of 4
blushing country lass. Our witches are Of another
sort. Great frowzy DANES, redolent of rum, shut
fling pack Of greasy cards and pouring out for
mua OF nonsense in murdered English, are not it
must be confessed, poetical objects. The whole
thing has been vulgaized and it could hardly have
been other wse. While these miserable impostOrs
enjoy an immunity from the horse pond, the duck
ms stool and the pin Of the witch finder, they now
draw the most Of their gotten gains from the
ignorant, from servant girls out of place, from
Tilted cook maids, and from silly housekeepers who
have lost their spoons. Such things were not
always regarded, by even respectable people, as
the dirty swindle which they are now considered,
and sstro.ogeI- once took gold where they are now
fain 10 content themselves with copper Queen
Elizabeth had her nativity calculated. but we do
not learn that Mr.. Buchanan proposes TO indulge
in any such absurd expense. Newspapers and
common schools have certainly done something.
Nevertheless, it is the duty Of society to project
tie unwary, the suleless and the giddy; and, if
possible, to prevent poor persons from fiDsng away
ouey which they can i'll spare. We cannot tel
how much money these she-cormorants hIch from
pet,icoat pockets, but We suppose the sum must be
considerable aimee these artists in destiny of which
there are many advertise largely and live in tolera-
bic houses. Every cent which they receive is just
as faudulenily obtained as if it were .n.tched from

Of their sham pIophesies upon character, the dis.

Mr. Buchanan has declared it to he bis opinion
That the Republican party is dead. He proposes
accordingly in his inaugural address to declare hs
other opinion that the "squatter soyereigns' of
Territory cannot exclude Slavery until they come
TO form State Constitution. This is not only HIS
doctr;ne, but he regards it az that Of the party
which elected him. 1t is also the doctrine Of the
Calhoun party, and Of all the Slavery extending and
slaye-tIadng interest of the South. That Mr. b.
chansn should make common cause with them is
not surprising; but there are great many people
who voted for him in Pennsylvania, Indiana and
Illinois who will be rather surprised by lt-st least
as many Of them as ever hear Of il. l. is possible
that counses less frank and honest may prevail in
the preparation Of the Inaugural Address; but We
may be assured that in that event the President
elect will have been oyerruled by friends more
CRAZY and lees confident than himself However
that may be, there is no reason to doubt the intel
senee given this morning in the dspa'ch Of Oar
Own Correspondent at Washington, than whom no
man is better informed. Mr. Buchsnsns own
views and sympathies are on the side of the Ca
houasis and the negro-breeders. We shall see no y
far his friends deem il prudent to allow him TO eA
nress them.
