More Or tho .Cereseo FREQ Love Union"-
FOuriexAsm Reduced 70 First Principles
We published on Friday last, from Wis
consin paper, an article ON new social Organi-
cation set up in that state, under the sug-
gestive title Of the "CefSe5o Free Love UniOn,"
embracing the substance Of report TO o mass
meeting Of the citizens Of the neighborhoOd,
from committee appointed upon the subject.
We have since received copy Of the Ripon
Herald Fond du Lac county, wisconsin, two
pages of which are occupied by report of the
proceedings Of the mass meeting aforesaid,
involving mass of verbiage for which we
have no room in our columns. Suffice it to
say, that this public meeting adopted q series
of resolutions denouncing these free love re-
formers, their text books, and principles al
together and severally, as "vile and licen-
tious," "inculcating as duty foul system of
prostitution" as "a moral plague" and "a
blighting curse, !" and providing against them
accordingly, "a Committee of Vigilance to
watch and guard the interests of the commu-
themselves to sustain the committee, "and &C.
cond it's efforts, until the blighting curse is
removed from among u.s."
The paper in which we find this apparently
impartial report, in its prospectus at the
head Of its first page, aims to be
free, and to advocate liberty for all. It's edi-
tor believes that man is more sacred than in
stitutions, human rights Of more value than
the preservation Of any organization" &C., and
hence, it was quite natural that such paper
should become the organ Of the "free lovers"
and proper that any further support should be
refused to It by the mass Of the people at large.
| In the letters on the part of the defence,
which we publish to-day, we can recognize no
thing but confession Of the horrible and dis
| gushing doctrines and denominations charged
| against the parties concerned. One of these
| letters, however, furnishes us some interesting
information of the origin of this Ceresco Socie-
| ty. 1t is Fouriel4te establishment, reduced to
first principles. 1t has thrown off the mask
| and the false pretences of the "attractiveness
of labor" a community Of property" &c, and
has boldly adopted that which our Fourierite
phalanxes and organs have endeavored to hide
from the public view-the great ultimatum of
free love-" according to the free usages of the
| cannibals of the Fejee islands.
| In these disclosures we are admonished Of
the most remarkable instance Of brazen effron-
terry in the history of public journalism. For
years the New York Tribune has been an earnest
and leading organ of Fourierism- identical
Fourierism the logical development of which
is length 50 clearly illustrated in this Wiscon
-. g. "a. cAI
cieties in this city and elsewhere. Yet this
same oracle and propaganda of Fouriersm
has assumed to be living model of decency
and morality, denouncing our theatres as hot
beds Of vice and crime, joining the crusade Of
the liquor prohibitionists, and circulating "hot
corn literature with that air of innocent be-
nevolence with which holy Pharisee would
steal the sacred vestments of the church to
serve the devil in. This organ of Fourierism
and it's kindred denominations is largely respon
sible for the insidious diffusion Of these hideous
and fiendish doctrines of our free love" phi
losophers and their deluded disciples The
TriJune's labors in the cause Of abolitionism
spiritualism, the Rochester rappers, the wo-
mems rights women and amalgamationists, and
CARNATIONS amongst US, of leprous fanatics
and unprincipled knaves, come to fitting
elimination in this Ceresco gang Of "free love,
reformers.
We are informed that these "frce lovers"
expect to be driven out Of Wisconsin,
and that, having but little hope of success in
any civilized community, they will probably
he nvau 10 rf fha
centrate their forces upon some distant and
unoccupied territory where they may set up
State for themselves. We are in favor of this
movement, because, in the first place, if fully
carried out, it would result to the advantage Of
society, in the removal of all this promiscuous
infdel and :" free love" rirraff from its mis-
chevous contact with Christian community;
and, secondly, because if concentrated into
self-supporting colony, removed from outside
assistance, it would soon perish fromits excuses
and become extinct. If, too, our free love-
communists would escape Mormon expulsion
by fire and sword, wherever one Of their con-
venticles may be detected east of the Rocky
Mountains, let them profit from the experience
of the Latter Day Saints, and move off in sea
son. Fourerites women's rights women. abo-
litionists. amalgamationists, spiritualists, and
their leaders and organs, all as band of free
