horrible nature of these doctrines may be
judged of from the following very brief synOp-
sis:
|. The right OF every woman to choose Who
ever she will to perform the part of husband
for the time, and to change that person as often
as she pleaSes.
2. The duty of woman to yield herself to
the embraces of the man she loves.
3. That these principles, when put in prac-
tice, will bring about the millennium will DO
away with the pains of child-bearing, and al
leviate human suffering in various ways.
4. That fornication may be "hOly."
>. That bigamy is no crime.
6. That the crime of adultery is Fictitious
and that what the world calls adultery may be
the highest and truest relation of which two
persons are capable.
!. That bastards are the most beautiful chill
dren in the world.
8. That society ought to be destroyed.
9. That wives, though idOlized by their hus-
bands, and supported in afiuence, are to yield
to the love of other men if they like them bet

Each and every one of the above articles
of belief is proven by the cOmmi;te by re-
ference to "bOok and page of the books which
they circulate and receive as the text books,
and by acknowledgment and public statement
of members, to be de factO the belief as receiv
ed and acted upon by members of that licen-
tious band not secretly, but openly and avOw-
edly. The books referred to are the "EsOteric
Anthropology," and q work on marriage"

The history of Ceresco Union may be brief
ly given. 1t seems las stated by the investi-
eating committee) that DR.. Ncwberry ar
rived at Ceresco last summer, where certain
minds had been prepared for his doctrines, by
the study Of the works Of Nichols; that New
berry taught all the pcrncous doctrines of
the books which we have reviewed; that some
of the persons who now compose the Ceresco
Union cOuntenance the same, and then resi-
dents of Ceresco received him into their houses,
where he received more marks OF confidence
and affection than a stranger commonly re-
ceivcs from the female portion OF the house
hold that it was determined to form an assO-
citation while Newberry was there; that New
berry proposed and discussed the plan, and
that the Cesesco Union is the result; that
Newberry publicly stated that he is opposed
to marriage and went further than Nichols.
This avowal was made in thcpresence OF many
who now form the Union, who were there
countenancing and uphoding him. 1t tappears
that another important character among the
Ceresco Unionists is u MIR. Warren Chase.
We quote from the proceedings:
Mr. Runnals introduced to the attention of
the meeting, and read letter IN relation to
Warren Chase-which letter purported to be
from man in Onondaga county, New York.
representing that Chvse had been guilty of
criminal and licentious conduct in connection
with lady in Auburn, and that he had left
her in an extremely unhappy condition. MIR.
Gould denounced Warren Chase as black
hearted scoundrel Mr.. Runnals said the facts
| against Mr.. Chase were not isolated they
were abundant and notorious. A very vOlumi
nous correspondence had been made public
which revealed the character of MIR. Chase IN
that respect. The correspondence developed
the fact that at least six different women had
become victims of Mr.. Chase He read these
letters Chase can be traced by amours and
illicit intrigues all over the country.
| The conclusion seemed to be, that ii the
principles of the "Ceresco Union could be
universally carried out there would be moth
ing left for us but a prospective generation OF
bastards and strumpets.'
Yet, strange as it may appear, in this nine
teenth century, in the midst of this civilized
community, there are men and women who
have the brazen hardihood to put forth such
doctrines-d0ctrines which, ii received, would
turn the world into vast brOthel, and set up
such vile community, where, fulfilling the
scriptures literally, we find ''every man neigh
| ing after his neighbor's wife The regions OF
the damned could hardly present the realiza-
tiOn of a more horrid picture. Andy yet, these
things, these deformities these horrible eXcre-
SCIENCES upon society, are the necessary and
legitimate results of the teachings of those
wretched vagabonds of the Greeley and Lucy
Stone school, both men and women, who stroll
through the country, and, under the guise OF
some social reform, are preaching Socialism,
"Spiritualism, "WOman's Rights, and all
other denominations. There seems to be han
kering with such persons in some way or 9th
er, to get back to the filthy sty Of heathensm
-unbridled license.
We think the people in the neighborhood
of Ceresco do we'll to protect themselves
against such people, as they would against
Wild beasts.
William c. Bryant, the poet, ia writing trom the
East, Gays that the Mahomlnedans are last becoming
Europeanized They are becoming careless Of the
marriage vow, get drunk, beat their wives, bruise
their children, associate with indels, and IN fact are
getting to be almost like Christians
Owed to the Times.
