The "Isns" For Fremont.

The Free Lovers here, naturally enough,
all go for Fremont. So do the Fourier
ties. The '.Free Lovers" the country
reader will remember,-are a sect here,
who some months since, undertook to eel
| citrate their abominable orgies publicly,
In a certain Hall or saloon in Broadway,
but such was the disgust and indigna-
ton excited by their ibertine doctrines
and practices, that the chief priest and
priestessess were obliged to abandon the
temple in a hurry, and with something
like "realizing appearance" that, bad
as New York is, morally, and Git may be)
socially,-there are some Paris fashions,
which it will not put up with,-and
Ibis Free Love" is one of them. The
plactice of bringing women upon the ros-
trun, in noisy political gatherings to
''speak for freedom" along with political
clergynen, may be looked upon as a mod
ifed manifestation of the doctrines and
principles of the ''Free Love" clubs, and
us such, ought to be frowned down and
discouraged by every friend of public de-
cency and public morals. There is some
thing especially revolving in the spectacle,
which was presented at Shelby Grove, In
diana, the other day, of a young girl, de-
claiming, in the midst of mob, about
''Kansas, Slavery" and other things
of which she necessarily knew little or
nothing. 1t reminds one of the Free Love
Clubs of New York, TO which we have
alluded and the Free Love, and Inf
del Clubs of Revolutionary Paris, in 1889
1t especially reminds one of the 'shrieks''
which the women politicians used to
raise in the COrdelier Clubs, on particular
occasions, and when certain objects were
IN view-such, for instance, as the deere
tai, abolishing the Christian Religion and
inaugurating the Goddess of Reason in
its stead. Listen to Alison, who, it is pre-
sumed, doesn't Gle like the Express"
'Shortly after, Herbert, Chaumette and
their (Fourierite, Free Soil and Free
Love- associates appeared at the bar, and
declared that God did not exist, and that
the worship of Reason was to be substi-
tuted in His stead \ yelled female, ar
rayed in blue drapery, was brought into
the Assembly; and Chaumette, taking her
by the hand, 'Mortals,' said he, cease to.
tremble before the powerless thunders of a
God whom your fears have created
Henceforth acknowledge no divinity but
Reason. L offer you its most noblest and
purest image; if you must have idols, sac
riice only to such as this. When, letting
fall the veil, he exclaimed: Fall before
the august senate of Freedom, oh. veil of
Reason At the same time the Goddess
appeared personitied by celebrated beau
ty, known in more than one character to
most of the Convention. The Goddess,
after being embraced by the President,
was mounted on a magnificent car, and
conducted, amid an immense crowd to the
church, to take the place of the Deity
There she was elevated on the high altar,
and received the alteration of all present,
while the young women, her attendants,
whose alluring looks already sufficiently
indicated their profession, retired into
the chapels round the choir, where every
species of icentiousness and obscenity was
INDUCED in without control, with hardly
any veil from the public gaze"
We thus see what miserable plagiarists
of French fashions our Fourterites, Free
Lovers, Political Clergymen, and Freedom
Shriekers, are,-and, pestilential, as are
the doctrines they preach, they cannot
even boast of the poor merit of originali-
ty.-N Y. Express.
