nv, they call it I'LL Fanny Wright was thrown on
these shores with creed in morals more corrupt and
wicked than ever before attempted to be establish
ed in any land. The effects and remains of this code
of immortality exis; broadly in New York among her
fanatical followers this day. No longer ago than
Tuesday last, the NEw York SUS-which is but the
continuation of the famous aheistca paper called the
"Free Enquirer" had the following paragraph:-
Mr.. Origen Bachelor, the indefatigable pursuer and
exposer of that wolf in sleeps clothing DIR. Sleigh
has published another pamphlet containing lusra
lions OF his life and character which, unless he can
prove IN court OF justice be false and hbellous
should instantly expe him from the country.
Now who is this Orgen Bachelor He is the mere
nsrnmen-the Judas Iscarot in the hands of the unbe-
heving Scribes and Pharsees OF the Sun Office bound
hand and foot TO beray and to Islander Christians and
Christianity. The In6dels probably too poor to
pay him in cash his thirty pieces of silver but Judas
Bachelor, amable man, is willing to take il out in bar
ter the savages of the West trade in furs and pow
der. On Tuesday evening" Judas read his pamphlet in
Concert Hail. against DR.. Sleigh before small audito-
ry, principally belonging the faith of Fanny Wright,
and al the close Mr. Dichei the Secretary of the Inf
del Society," went round with plate to make coIlec-
non. When Judas Iscariot betrayed the great founder
OF Christianity, he had modesty enough to take his
thirty pieces OF silver BY STEALTH put them into his DOC
and button il up in hurry q thief would his plum
der. He did not send Mr.. Ditchet round among the
anbeeyers in Jerusalem, with plate before the whole
Sanhedrim. Judas Iscariot had some modesty-some
remnant OF the gentleman in his yilany. But Judas
Bachelor has not the slightest redeemng trait in his
manners His conduct is open, unblushng and as far
exceeds Judas Isearios the open unblushing con-
duct OF Fanny Wright exceeds that of any former wo.
man that ever appeared in the world.
We are persuaded that Dr. Sleigh will treat the VIC.
lent attacks made upon his character by Judas Bache-
lor and the Sun Infdels with the same meekness and
ease that his Divine Master treated Judas Iscarot in
the garden of Gethsamene. The personal abuse daily

morals, manners and principles which Fanny incuI-
Gated upon Ben. III. Day, during his pupilage in the
years 1881, and g. Not daring to atrac the princi
pies OF Christianity, the printer of Fanny and his decoy
duck, Judas Bachelor, lavish all the abuse and aleyo
ience their envenomed hearts generate upon the
personal character of DIR. Sleigh With hypocrisy and
Impudence, unmatched and inmate liable, Judas Bach
eor and Benjamin H. Day, former associates and sworn
brothers IN the makebelieve discussions in Tammany
Hail. try TO pass themselves off upon an insulted CITY
asvertabe Christians and teachers of Christian mo-
rails. Their malignant hearts indicate, however, too
true the paternity of their purposes.
But to return. On the landing of Fanny Wr;gb, in
New York in 1897, she issued the famous manifesto the
substance OF which we gave in our first number Pre-
vious to this advent she had purchased large lot of
negroes, male and female did she buy then whicb had
been sent before her TO Nashoba" her new establish
ment in Indiana created for the express purpose of i'm
