and minds from which they have sprung.
No one for moment doubts the fact, that men OF
loose morals-who have libidinous eyes-impure
minds, whose purposes never range higher than to
achieve oentsus and destructive victory over lovely
and unsuspccting innocence-men whose hearts are
as hollow as a constant succession of unmanly and
wicked debaucheres make them, and whose inter-
est it is to bring society to their standard of morals
that such men willing and dssrous to pamper,
and vitiate, and corrupt, and familiarze the public
mind perniclous stories Of pretended and fictitious
deeds of concupscence, seduction, adultery and all
the nameless details of lust Those wicked and un
prncipled presses which are constantly serving up
such details from the dirty sorehouse ofthe own fill
thy magnings, just objects of dctestaton to men
Of unconupted minds
And it would be blessing to the community to be
rid of those who spend their days and nights in con-
coctng scenes of infdelity among married parties,
with the express purpose of making it familiar with
vice, that thus its sfrighfuness may o-that pity
may succeed, only to be speedily followed by unhal-
lowed embraces with the monster.
We dwelled with most undssembed interest on
the conjuga relation sustained and perpetuated in It's
original purity and loveliRess. We delight to contem
plate intercourse between the sexes marked and
characterised In all its features and Developments by
modesty, chastity, and freedom from stain of any
kind. We ourself lean with admlrahon--we bend
with unfeigned feelings of pure satisfaction over-we
bow in involuntary and sincere homage unto lovely
woman and noble man, when their pure nterchanges
of thought and feeling and action, posses qualities
more of heaven than earth. And OH! if there is
scene of consummate beauty, witchery, divinity, on
which we linger fondy, and dwell with fervent inter-
est, it is when married pair in the midst of numer
temptations surrounded by the evil solicitations
and facilities for vice aboundng large city, stl
retain fidelity and trutha faithfuness and devoted
each other, that all the egons of hell are
able to break sever To behold them rearing up
an interesting group of young immortals-nstructng
them in all knowledge and purity-fttng them for
the faithful performance of those civic healthfa and
wholesome virtues-as indeed all virtues are-whch
will render their offspring ornaments and blessings to
their race And he who would mar such scenes-nu-
merous they are in this city-he who would de-
crease their number by any arts-he who enlsis his
influence to corrupt the public mind and produce inf
deties in the married state-be he the maker of a
Transcnpt-creator of New Era-proprietor or ia
ther of Sun--or invested with Aldermanic dignity
or some other unpnncipled wretch or wretches-de-
serves and will doubtless receive weight, and power,

meeted out in most abundant and overlowing profl-
sion by the outraged ciuzens Of New York.
We have put forth many charitable and philanthro-
pic efforts to save the penny press from the rapid and
acceleratng destruction in which they are plungng
headlong. And all we can say now is-f they will

We read in some of the New York papers,

success Of small army which has displayed so
