Pennington CORRESPONDENCE.


4 Feb. 20, 1859.
/, EDITOR CHRONICLE AS you have
given place to Moralist and others in
your excellent paper, 1 would be
[ obliged for q similar favor. / fail to
see any good results from Identifying
every thoughtless, idle aud wicked in
dividual expression generally caused
by excitement, passion, or n morbid
desire to create sensation by giving it
publication through the papers, and
holding this or that organization re-
sponsible for its utterance.
Moralist with a flourish of trumpets
announces the important fact that he
occupies a stand point, and from that
stand point proceeds to demolish sat
n fell swoop" the whole spiritual
fraternity, MOrmons and all. 1t was
a custom with the ancients in leading
their victim to the altar to hang its
horns with garlands, but no drapery
will he allow to shield the hideOus
moral deformity of modern Spiritual
lists. And here is his stand point and
starting point. Accidentally coming
in contact q short time since with an
itinerant vender of hair dye, said ven
der was beating the air prOdigiously
much to the amusement of a crowd
of small bows, who were silly trying a
bottle of it on n venerable looking
turnip) dilating on the magic restora-
tive properties of his medicine, when
applied to a bald head, declaring
vehemently that it would restore
slightly damaged moral character to
its original beauty and luster, as readi-
" as it would rejuvenate q hairless
pate, and further that it had an afiini-
ty, and that people using it having an
affinity for each other might occupy
the same bed, marriage or no marriage.
And forthwith MOralist rushes into
print with the startling announce
ment that two of the leading Spiritu-
alists in this vicinity had declared that
it was no sin in the sight of God and
the Angels for a couple, having an
affinity, to occupy the same bed pre-
vious to marriage. Now where he
saw the second person in this affair is
more than l can conceive, unless the
one above referred to on which the
boys were experimenting. ,
He then makes a beautiful quota
ton about the upas. A much better ,
quotation could have been found. For j
instance: /
'The times are out of joint, o, cursed spite, 5
That ever 1 was born to set them right !
Or to continue quotations: "Truth 5
crushed to earth (by S~piritualists) !
shall rise again, &c, or e
Freedoms battle once begun against spir-
itualists) q
from bleeding sire to son, !" &c. c
But the question is getting intense
ly interesting hereabouts. Who is
McCracken, or rather who is Prof. i
Mcqueen? Perhaps he is professor of
and for the last forty a
years has been issuing scientific in :
struction to the solitary watcher over /
profound emptynessj at the Washing y
on Crypt. Or is he Prof. of Agricul- $
.ural Chemistry connected with some
Emigrant Association. For
lught we know he may be Prof. of h
he manly art, possibly the long
for man who struck VIM. Pat q
erson, Esq.
Moralist is entirely free from preju- CT
lice, as his statement will show, sis it il
my wonder that people did not turn
'ut to help raise the hall" And here =,
lie might have quoted: /"
The youth who fired the Ephesian dome is A.
better known to fame,
IMAM the plOuS fOOl who reared it."
Moralist acknowledges the truth of III
he Bible and the claims of the church, L
nd it is quite amusing to see him try
ng to climb up some other way, and
howing in a mastery manner how N
lot TO do it. HE who knoweth his
masters will and doeth it not, shall be
eaten with many stripes" n
Mr.. Moralist, it requires a fuller de-
of mechanical genius to q,
uccessfully handle edged tools, than st
does to mar gophers. or
