THE .FREE.LoyE" MOVEMENT.

| 1t is not many weeks since our attention was
| first drawn to a fact of which we had previously
| but faint and vague impression existence in
this City of loosely organized band Of receivers
of what are commonly termed Free'LOve doc
trines, or the theory that each man or woman
has a natural justly indefeasble, right to dissolve
his or her existing sexual relation to person of
the other sex, if such he or she shall at any time
have contracted, and enter into a new relation
under the guidance of his or her spiritual ainities
OF attractions this also to be dissOluble at any
time in obedience to the same spiritual affnities
and so on indefinitely In fact, about the first dis
tinct intimation we had Of the existence of such
band came in the shape Of dragooning from the
Editor of an Ohio :'aper, who assumed that we
were fully acquainted with the whole matter, and
were greatly to be blamed for not exposing lit
public scrutiny and condemnation.
Now, having never felt the slightest attraction
toward any Free-LOve" cOAventicle whatever
and having hitherto repeatedly discussed aud re-
pretended the doctrines Of the % Free-Loyers" TO
the best of our ability, we cherished serious
doubt of the expediency of making any such ex.
pose as the challenge demanded. The fsllacy and
mischief Of the "Free-Love' notion are to our
mind so palpable, that we can hardly regard the
apostles Of that notion with adequate charity, and
would prefer to let them alone as much as posi-
bic, so as to avert the peril of doing them un-
designed injustice
Still, having been publicly called to expose the
"free'Love" cOnclave in cur city, and having seen
that our contemporaries do not scruple to publish
all they know concerning it, we have for the last
few days applied ourselves to the gathering and
arranging Of all the facts we could obtain bearing

The Washington Union Of the 18th inst. fsvors its
readers with column and half of msttG explanatory
of the conduct of the authorities OF Missouri In refer
ence to the reclamation of the swamp lands in thai
State under the act of Sept 2s 1850. The correspond
ept of The TRIBUNE, who called public attention V
the matter, is charged with Wholesale msreprcseats
ton; his error, however, appears to consist in bis
statement that the President psy to the trsads
committed This The Union stoutly denies. That
lands were selected under the swamp-lsw which were
not intended to be granted thereby is conceded By
the government organ. II says, 10 80 many words,
tina. ga very liberal construction has been given to
" the law by parties acting for some of the Stses, and
Z" in other instances men have been chosen to select
" lands whose elastic copsciences stickled not at
the perpeta'icn of fraud" the Identical things
charged; "but the vigilance OF the government OIL
cias." The Union believes, has resulted in tho dis
"covery of every case of the kind, and the prompt
" rejection of the States claim to the lands" This
may or may no. be so. Our correspondent who lives
on the spot is probably good authority for what he
is writing about The Union, and will be as readily
believed The greater par. of his allegations vo OBJ
serve, remain uncontradicted; and hence Il may be
presumed that they are true.

Two accidents occurred yesterday on the New
York and Harlem railroad. One vas caused by
an iron rail being placed across the track at VIII
lisms bridge by some unknown assassin, by which
the engine of the night freight train was upset and
the engineer and fireman killed on the spot. The
Jury exonerated the employees of the company
from blame, but did not appear to make much
effort to discover the perpetrator or perpetrators
of the deed. The other accident WAS at YorkviDe

violent blow on passing under a bridge, from the
effects of which he is not expected to recover.

A JUDICIAL JONAH.

| Judge Kane, as our readers know has made a
new and recent attempt to get up something like
an apology for his gross usurpation in presumng
to issue writ of habeas corpus to Passmore VIII
hanson commanding him to produce the body OF
Jane Wheeler and her two children-0n false
charge of contempt in making return to which
void writ, void as proceeding from court without
any jurisdiction, Passmore Williamson now lies
in prison without bail or mainprize. This new
effort of Judge Kane was indeed made the sub
iect of some comments in our yesterdays paper
in which also appeared the judges opinion at
length, in the most complete shape in which it has
yet been published.
Stripped Of the fimsy disguise of legal learning
in which Judge Kane vainly strives to envelope
alike his inanies, his selfcontradictions and his
scaLdalous not to say malicious abuses of the
powers committed to him, not for the purposes Of
ptiful revenge but for the furtherance of justice
so stripped, this new opinion is nothing more than
a demagogical appeal to property-ho a base
and hypccritical attempt to excite the fears of a
class proverbially timid, and an insdious effort to
arouse their sympsthies on behalf Of travelling
shareholders, and Of that class not very much re-
agents engaged in the domestic slave-trade.
Ofthe dough Of Pennsylvania, her judges, whether
State or national, have formed the clumsiest sour
est, most indigestible part Not to mention at
present State judges what other member of the
Federal union has, in its most violent fermenta-
tons, ever thrown to the surface such judicial
trio as Baldwin, GIier and Kane Following
in the footsteps of the first named,
with the awkward gait, however, Of
very little man attempting to tread in the tracks
of large one, Judge Kane insists that to deny the
right of transporting slaves through Pennsylvania
is to endanger the general stability of property
His appeal to the rumsellers, his Ginning in with
the recent opinions against the constitutionality
of prohibitory liquor laws, is curious aud in
structive. If Pennsy lvania-so he argues-is to
be at liberty to say that slaves shall not be prop
erty, though the laws Of Virginia make them so,
the next step will be to say that liquor is not
property, and to stop the transportation of that
and thence we shall go on saying that this, that
and the other i'not property till at las. we end by
