From all this, what could be expected
better than nonsense? And does not much
OF It indicate to lovers of chastity. purity.
and virtue, something far aoorse than non
sense? What discerning eye could fail 10
see the connection between this exhibition
and the theatres of the cities-those sinks
OF sin and pollution-tho gateways to
death and hell2 Can the line be drawn
between them? What could better prepare
the eyes for lewd sights than TO have the
ears filled with lewd sounds? hesitate not
10 pronounce this performance part and
parcel OF the theatre. see not why the
one may not be looked upon as designed
preparation for the other. 1t would not
quite do, Of course, at first, 10 transport the
dancing with the singing, into our compar-
atlvely moral State. No. The better policy
would dictate that the sound first 90 forth
to prepare the way for the sight. But, as
1t pertains to the moral tendency, | beg to
be shown the difference. If there were
Joint-stock company formed, with a charter
from the bottomless pit, located in "London
and all the principal cities ofthe U. States"

every candid mind will decide-no other.
There is not closer or more necessary |
between slipping juleps and wines
nd wallowing in beastly drunkenness, than
here is between being enamored by these
and vile exhibitions of this " Pri-
ma Donna" [prime lady] in the country,
nd being carried away with her more dis
ipating and vile exhibitions in the city.-i
Ind | ask, candidly and seriously, why
hose who pay her money and attention for
uch singing in the country, should not pay
Ter money and attention for dancing of 4
correspondent character in the city? |

several professors Of religion here were
yertaken In the gross Improperly of giving

regret having been found in such compa-

aught there again. Let others be on their
uard. Let not the comparatively virtuous
lllages of Vermont be contaminated by |
wing embrace or encouragement to this ,
ortable nuisance. Let the moral atm6s-
