Free Love In New York,

Oh Victor, of the Sandusky Register, has
been on o visit to New Y ork, and has witnessed
many dreadful and shocking things. In the
course Of his Investigations he attended Free
Love Meeting. Hear him for his cause:
On Broadway is room occupying the
whole fourth story Of large building, where
gather the professors and disciples of the " Free
Lovers" These persons abrogate the marriage
laws, and deny their binding force. They pro-
pose, as the only true marriage, that persons of
both sexes shall come together from "affin-
tiles that is, they will live together as man
and wife when their spiritual nature assures
them that they are fitted for one another. and
shall live only together as long as their natures
are " harmonious when this harmony ceases,
the parties ore at liberty to choose other asso-
Citations, and bed and board with other of the
opposite sex if it pleases. This is the sum and
substance Of the whole institution; regard it
as they may, and its fruits may be easily
guessed.
We entered the room at o'clock. At one
end of the large saloon was an ante-chamber,
carpeted nicely and fitted up with sofas, tables,
etc. A company of men and women-inclu-
ding several persons whose names would not
look well in print but who ought to be known
nevertheless, were gathered around a table,
reciting French to Professor Bachelor, the
somewhat noted French Socialist, and conju-
gator Of Albert Brisbane and Stephen Pearl
Andrews. After short time the lessons were
over, when commenced the usual hilarity of
the evening. The attendance became con-
stantly greater-chieay of young men and
women. The exercises-the men clasping the
women around the waist, and talking apart in
low tones. This was in the earnest the as-
similation of soul," so beautifully set forth by
these impracticable abstractionists, and it was
in earnest of such sin as this pen cannot re-
cord without a sense of humiliation for poor,
human nature.

A Party OF Esqulmaux,

Inc Following is description Of party Of
Esqulmaux that visited DR.. Kane during his
expedition, and Of whose existence in that re-
glon the DR.. was not before aware:
They came in sledges drawn Nv fine la,ce
9ogs' evidently Of very superior breed these
aogs would make journeys Of sixty miles day
iof several weeks, carrying single man, and
~ some instances two men behind them. The
siedges We're curiously formed ;some we're made
OF hundreds Of pieces Of bone dashed together
with strings made Of oisock, large seal. A
lew OF them were made ofwood. There can not
oe people less dependent upon the assistance
Of civilized men than these Esquimaux. To
ne sure they have their pieces of iron in their
nIarpoons, but even their lances are formed of
,he sharpened horns Of the unicorn. In many
respects these people present thelowest form Of
humanity. Their notions of religion are OK
ceedlngly crude, and resemble that described
gy fa1ry IN his voyages as belonging to the
Iaprador Esquimaux. They are grossly filthy
IN their habits and indulge in considerable
looseness Of life especially in the intercourse
OF the sexes. They have marriage rules and
regulations which are very singular and appa-
rently are derived from various traditions. Tn
this they also resemble the Esouimaux de-
scrlbed by Parry. They are utterly regardless
OF all honor except in very few instances, in
which cases they appeared to be anxious to OBJ
tain articles Of useful value. They are incor-
rlglble thieves, revoltingy filthy in their per-
sons and habitations, and live as much on raw
as on cooked flesh, while they cat voraciously
and enormously. What chance they have Of
Heaven is o question for theologians; they ap-
pear to be happy and good natured in their
way, but it seems they are gradually dying out
They have no kyacs.
"Ther principal support is the walrus, the
bear, and the ank "a small bird thatswar in
the Arctic regions occasionally they catch
seals, unicorns, and sometimes even, though
rarely, white whales. All their fishing has to
be carried on in the cracks of the ice. They
have sickly suspicion of beard, which dis
tinguishes them from the Labrador Esauimaux,
and they are generally smaller, though there
are among them some remarkably fine speci-
mems of savages The race seems to be decay
ing and disappearing it is supposed that there
are not more than a hundred of them from
Cape York to Littleton Island, some Eve or
six hundred miles," 4]'-[-
