There lisa class of writer's and publishers who
fatten onthe veal ness and deprayi:y of human
nature, muchas the buzzaId faltens on ca ron OF
the lecherous pmp gains Subsistence by leading
his preyto dens of pollution. Their dupes are,of
three. classes: The young, the ardent and unwaty;
The, welt disposed and kind hearted, ieverop.n 10
the appeals of charity and beneyolenee : ana
abandoned proaisates so stepped in deprayity and
iniquitY that they seek naaght but new rounds.of
diss patton and vice, each deeper and darker Than
the last, to crafty their brutal appettes- These
writers, with some knowledge of;he springs which
open the way to the feelings OF elherfor ailgof
these dupes, and with the ingenuity Of the Devil
who,can quote Scripture to suit7his purpose so
frame their works as to win their way to either or
all of the classes we have enumerated. Coming
forth IN the garb of Religion, Science, Philanthro-
ply, Temperance, &c., they issue publications
which,, if stripped of their false titles and false
clothing and.bared TO the public eyetn their max
deformty, would in this country incarcerate their
authors in the Penitentiary. aadin5some countries
doom them the hahgman's whip aud the hang
mans halter. Infinitely worse than tile works of
Paul De Kock, or all the lewd publications of the
French press, prohibited by law from circulationi
this country, is this filthy trash put forth in the
name of Virtue and Reform, for in lheir false garb
they gain access to the first class of dupes-the
young-and insdionsly instil into their minds the
polluted imaginings, or. what is more frequently
the case, the diguslng details the .life sceness
of their authors no have led lives OF debanchery
and cripiein some of our large cities. With the
second class-the well-meaning and benevolent--
they gain, bya systemof infamous trickery perpe.
tlated by means Of sa acrimonious lStfers and cir
culars sent out by publishers; a circulation and
shortlived favor ere the coafding ddpes are aw4re
of the contents of the work or the imposition
which has been .practiced upon them. with, the
third class-the abandon d proHigates-they only
serve to swell the seething cess-pool into which
they are already Immersed to the very iips.s-5..f
Apart from those interested in the sale Of such
works, we are not to surprised 10 find that they
have advocates in class of people must implop-
ly calling themselves ar cfor0iers'-a class com
posed of crazy fanatics, incendiary champions o!
the "highert law" hfawling> advocates of..tWo-
mans Rights" who,woud unsex both sexes, Turn
the Senate Chamter into nursery for babies and
beggar girls and the kitchen into college wherein
the lords of creation should find the means of stu
dying social economy dinner pois aud dish rags;
-hot-headed-so Called but in reality, 5cold-
booded Abolilionsts, who rrate of the inalienabIe
rights of man, and would the next moment sell
the poor negro in their power to a kidnapper for
mess of pottage. or leave him to starye amid the
desolation of anuncutivated2s soil. Satisfied with
no existing social, political or religious,
they seize with aviddity anything that will pro.
mote their schemes of anarchy, vandalism and in
fidelity. If they find That gss7ai s.as / 5st7 -
.rrhe Everlasting has fixed his canon, -
against Their npioas dogmps, they have to in-
woke departed spirits through the mediumlof ttspir-
tual rappings,,' and Witt their hocus pocus tom
fooleries that would be contempt bleiif, theywere
not *acteItgtous, play. botpeep with the sacred
memories of the dead, dear 10 human afections;o or
consectatedSinSthea annals ofiteir codhtry;) libel
their deeds in life and blaspheme their names in
death, all to fortify their damnabie isms and to
thrust their monstroGs agsressions on hailowed in
situations, human and divine, sdo&nthe throats Of
gaping foolsl -.-.
All that we have saidaiiTs the foregoing of lewd
publications put ferth in The name of Virtue and
Reform, and, of their advocateSand defenders APP

vocates and defenders, mis-nanied "Rcfortaers.'S
We have before denounced it as san immoral

and depraved Without sufficient literary merits
