FREE LOVE IN NORTHERN OHIO.

Correspondence. Of The N. Y. Tribune.
BERLIN, Ohio, May Is, 1853.
Sir: An article published in The CIere!aAd Herald,
and copied tito the papers Of NewErglsnd, NewYork
ard the West asserts that at toe recent election IN
Ohio the Free Lovers carried the 10 snship CT Berlin
by vote of $50 10 no that their number, already
large is rapidly increasing, ssd that the Western Re-
serve in imminent danger of being oveTun by them
The facts these: The citizens have been divided as
to the means Of sbatpg the nuis6nce Of Free Love;
some advocate mob, others the pesceable remedies
Of The law. At the late election the mob men got up
ticket and deted the opposition to tlal OF strength
By rsisiIg the insane cry All opposed to our ticket
are Frte.Lovers" The opposition nominated
ticket ard, ,rsl, e,cted It by ~ msjonty. Not
Free. Lover even knew If the meeting by which tns
ticket was nominated, and only three OF them cared
enough about the result to come out and vote. The
result indicates, not what the people OF Berlin tnidK
of Free Love- but their opinion Of border rutianism
There s rot citizen in the township who approves
OF the osgusting doctrine of Free Love- not one VINO
would OF assent to any moral and legal measures 70
overcome il.
The article alluded to speaks Of "vsst organize
ton whose center is at Berlin Hghts thus giving
the impression abroad that Berlin, an Eten mas
deger rated into modem Sodom. Your readers who
may have this stat. ert will be surprised wner
