RELIGIOUS POLITICS.

There is a portion of the Press of our City claim
ing to be distnctively peculiarly Religious which
deyotes an undue share Of attention to THE TRIB-
UNE, yet seems never to allude to it except to de-
tract and dsparage. In this category, The Eoan-
gelist, The inquirer. The Ambasss Tor and about
two-thirds of The Independent are rarely or never
found. Those which do belong to it make up in
assduity and malevOence for any presumable
paucity of numbers. Though we never willingly
allude TO them, and are careful not to poach on
their manor, they cannot conseLt to let US alone
and so far as their warfare is open and manly, We
do not complain of it, This is good.sized planet,
and it is not possible for all its inhabitants to think
alike If any contemporary thinks THE TRIBUNE
bad paper or its influence I'M urious, it is its right
if not its duty TO say so but the skulkng, sneak
ing. cowardly creature who dare not name the
subject of his calumnies, but pOsons BY insinua-
ton and hints ISLANDERS which he dare not boldly
utter, is black hearted villain, no matter what
may be the color of his neck-cloth.
The Christian hteRigeneer-which Claims to
be the organ of the Dutch Reformed Church-is
more outright and honorable in it's libes. Here is
a recent specimen:

ministers preached out-and out political sermons, COM

PENNsYLyANA--Further returns strengthen
our conviction that the Pro-Slsvery democracy
poled minority of the votes in the recent Elec-
ton. They have lost the Senator and two Mem
bers in the Lycoming district, whichialways went
for them until last year; ditto the Tioga district;
ditto in venaDgo and Warren. Their majority In
the Legislature will be meager, though everything
went by the board about Philadelphia. But their
seeming triumphs are unsubstantisl, being based
upon the division of their opponents. Thus old
Lancaster, in which they elected two Of the FIVE
Members, q good part Of the local officers, and
nearly tied the Canal Commissioner, actually voted
thus
Nicholson, Fusion. 1901 Plumer, Dem. ..5o99
Henderson, Wing. .........1ss5
and more, doubtless, for Williamson. And the
local candidates generally range about $500 Amer
lean, 1920 Wing, and $500 Dem. So instead Of
there being but 300 Anti-Pierce majority, as the
telegraph reported, there is really over 5000 And
this is fair sample Of the State The Douglas
ties are really in q minority

We perceive with regret that some OF the most
vehement and yOlube asserters Of individual
Sovereignty are inclined to ignore aud tramp6
mon that theory whenever it favors convictions
adverse to their own. They have unainchng faith
in their own right to think, talk, write and act /"
may seem right in their own eyes; but whosoever
is impelled to take views of important subjects I'D.
verse to their own is esteemed by them hypo-
critic, coward and scoundrel
The I" Free Love" doetrinaires Of our day shine
forth in this constellation. Their theory, though
specious, like that of Free Usury, Free Liquor or
Free Trade generally, is in view mistaken, per!
nicious and pestilent-its reception by any com
munity sure precursor ofgeneral corruption and
generalization. The grounds Of this conviction
have been repeatedly set forth in these columns
throughout the existence of TIE TRIBUNE We do
not assert nor imply that all who believe in OF
preach " Free. Love are dishonest or deprayed;
we aim to treat them fairly and kindly; we would
not deny them the right of expressing their con
yictions, nor any other common right Of citizens
nor subject them to any form Of despotic power
but, believing them to be wrong on a question "
tai to the wellbeing Of society we have endeavored
TO expose their mistakes and arrest the dissent
nation of their errors. This we shall continues
do, until the danger we apprehend shall have been
completely ayerted. Our City is dlssoute at best
and prone to every form of lewdness and sensua'
ty but the great majority Of our practical Free,
Lovers have at least the grace to be ashamedd
their vices and not to attempt their justification
If the "Free-Love" theory were generally rel
ceved as sound, with such adaptations as the sen.
sual would inevitably make of it, our City would
speedily become another sodom. Such are our
convictions on them we act, leaving those whOss
Individual Sovereignty" leads to opposite con
illusions to act according to the light youchsaisd
them-as we do according TO ours.

Tile Erpcess eagerly copies from The Sataaic's
account of the sayings and doings at the Free-Loye
Club on the eve of its suppression the following:
"GRErLEY CALLED FOR AGArS.--Clapp and Bris-
bane being over
"The cry then arose for Greeley Greeley Fetch kn
cut, Where IL hep Give US Greely. hut these Gala
were In vain old white cs made bis appearance ntt
was state that he not In tbs room"
The scoundrels who circulate this cslunny by
inuendo are not one whit less culpabe than it's
Infamous inventors. They all know perfectly that
"Greeley" never was in that club nor anything
like it; and if any one in good faith called for
Greeley" there, it must have been stranger who
had been duped by the habitual ISLANDERS Of tho
two journals above designated.
The above is fair specimen Of the incessant
flow of willful detraction which we for twelve
wears have borne from The Herald aud OF insinu'
ated skulking SANDER which has been poured
upon us by The Express. Yet ono oil tho
prir cipal engineers of this decade Of studied
defamation now claims as a brother editor, and
thinks it hard that we SO sternly oppose his
reelection to the Senate.

Mr.SAM. j. TnDEN, candidate Of the Softs, the
HalEShells and the Liquor. Dealers for Attorney
General, has written the Liquor men letter, con-
den BiDg the Prohibitory Liquor Law as unsound
and undemocrstc in principle. The gist of his
letter is contained in the following paragraph
Such legislation springs from misconception of
the proper sphere of government IL ID no part OF the
duty Of the State to coerce the individual man except
AZ far as bis conduct may affect others not remotely
and consequently but by violating II hts when leSis
lation can recognize ana undertake to protect. Inc
opposite principle leaves no room Tor Individual rea
son and conscience trusts nothing to seculture and
substitutes the wisdom of the Senate and Assembly
for the plan OF moral government ordained oy frov'
idence"
Just before reading the above, we had cut from
Western exchange the following paragraph re-
ferrpg,to an Indian gathering at La Pointe, Lake
Superior, to receive cir annuity from our Gov
eminent 1t is The Superior Journal which says:
"Great exeriions were made to prevent the traffic.

away with them, tie greater portion being lost In gam
bling. The greater part of the blsnkets goods &c,
also changed hands in the same way. There was quite
a number OF sharpeIs' on hand, who, OF course LETT
means untred to rob the poor Indian of the ptance
paid him.
All this outright destruction of Liquor, without
Judge or jury was effected under law OF the
United States nearly forty years DID, passed under
the Presidency of Madison, when j. G. Adams,
VIM. II. Crawford, John C.. Calhoun, Henry Clay
and Daniel Webster were our leading men in Cab-
net and Congress. Nobody has ever sought to re-
peal or attempted to resist the execution of that
law on an assumption of its unconstitutionalty.
But then we had no juristS of higher grade than
John Marshall Joseph Stery and Francis Hopkin-
son-Judge Brown having not yet eliminated; so
our heather ignorance of Law and Jurisprudence
are less TO be blamed than ptied.
Will Mr. Tilden explain how it happened
that the Republicans Of 1916 were 50 grossly
ignorant not only of the principles of Democracy
but of " the plan ofmoral government ordained by
Providence ?"

Having read ell that has appeared with respect
10 the breaking up of the gathering at the Free.
Love" club on Thursday evening, we conclude
from it that the interference Of the Police was en-.
tirely gratuitous and unwarranted. We fear the
efIec. Of il will be to excite sympathy for those
whose personal rights were violated. which will
be insepsibly extended to their most mistaken and
pernic;ous theories. Unsound opinions are not, as
vicious acts are, legitimate objects of Police re-
preston; ard II men are to be thrust into prison
because Of their erroneous theories they are
morally certain to gain converts to those theories
from the natural repugnance of mankind to acts OF
asurpatiOn and oppression The whole affair looks
exceedingly as though the Police Captains went
to the club expressly to break it up, aud deter.
mined that an excuse should be found or made for
the seizure of those persons whose names were
calculated to give most ecla to the demonstration.
And il is very singular that the only person who
COMPLAINS that he was charged thrice for admit
lance should happen to be police oifser
Why cur yigilant ard valiant Police seldom or
never break up any Of the great gaming houses
or fashionable brothels which abound in that part
of the city which was the scene Of Captains Tars'
bull and Kssner coup, is now a legitimate sub.
ject of inquiry. The captains certainly knos
where those. establishments are they know that
they prosecute their balefu calling in hagrant de.
fance Of law; they know how to make their way
into them, arrest the propretors, and stop their
infamous doings. Then why don't they People
do cay it is because their palms are regularly
crossed-that their eyes are sealed BY eagles
against any perception of the fragrant wickednes
perpetrated by gamblers and panderers to lewd-
ness We would rather not believe this; but
since we see how easy it is for the Police to break
up any rendezvous when they really set about il
how are we to avoid the conclusion which further
impunty to these harpies will Indicate
