the house. male and female, were delighted with the
sweet child, Louisa Missouri that her behavior was
as simple and artess child, whilst her converse
ton was that of highly educated and refined female
of mature age. They say that she was beloved aby
all-and that they all wished her to stay; and Mr.
Warren repeated his that he nad ever suf
fered the infamous behavior of the mother at his
house to have any influence on him. The tears were
in his eyes as he spoke; his boarders say that Miss
Missouri was as happy as the day is long whilst she
was there's and that though in weak state ofhealth
she appeared fast recovering But they add that the
conduct of her mother appeared more than she could
endure, and it appears that she recovered the
shock of being obliged to leave Mr. Warren's on &C
count of her horrible connections. Much much has
that wretched woman to answer for--ether in this
world or that which lie to come. They say that she
has caused the seduction and subsequent ruin of
young women in this city than any other horrible
keeper Of brotheliR it. To enable her to riot in lax
ury, she has immolated the altar of Moloch hum
eds and perhaps thousands Of the brightest of the
daughters of our citizens Years and years has she
led this horrible and abandoned life
The question is shall she be allowed to continue in
it any longer? Shall she be allowed to outrage de-
cency any farther? The infamous Rosina Townsend
was driven from the city-Mrs. Furman was driven
from Philadelphia. Shall she be allowed to remain
in New York;
To show what really hash been her conduct towards
her unfortunate child, we here give the affidavit
to the day before Miss Missouri left her mothers
house.
