The circumstances of the two cases are similar
| in many respects, sufficiently SO, at least, to
leave No doub; that the influence of the latter
will be similar in effect TO That Of the former,
| aud il certainly will be greater in degree COZ
responding with its greater importance 10 the
eyes Of the public.
For Dunber of years previous to the killing
OF Richardson, The theories of free love found
| their stoutest and most respectable adherents in
circle Of New York Journalistic. A number
of persons belonging to this class were attached
t, leading daily newspaper Of that city
Among them we're men and women Of superior
talent and culture, whcke names were known
in literary circles all over the land Many Of
them acquiesced 10 these advanced ideas bnt
RETAINED from accepting them p; practically while
others lived in accoIdaucs with them.
Having the support of these Influential per-
sone, the doctrine Of free-love gained many
other adherents, and was in a fair way 10 be-
cone respectable At an early day.
The killing of Richardson led TO a premature
exposure Of this condition of sflaiis. This hot
bed OF advanced ideas was suddenly uncovered
and exposed 10 the chilling influences of public
scrutiny. The effect was instantaneous aud
decided. Free-love, as q thing of possible res
probability, was dead in that quarter, aud has
never been revived. It's votaiies were abashed,
aud withdrew into secrecy, and the institutions
of society we're delivered from their imminent
peril.
1t is worthy Of note that Mr.. Beecher, for the
first time in his life, subjected himself TO public
indignation through bis connection with that
affair
The Brooklyn scandal will intensity tn
hatred that all pure people feel toward this
pernicious doctrine of free-love.
1.-The Woodruff ever had shadow OF
chance to be hailed as reformer, she will have
none now.
The infamy that has overwhelmed Hescher
and the Tiltons is directly attributable to the
teachings of free-love advocates
Religion will not snfier. but a curse will set.
tie upon this odious doctrine. True religion
and true conjugal love will be exalted. The
world will turn with renew ed devotion to that
which is good. and this social sin will be de-
based. This horrible revelation will injure no
good man OF woman. 1t may cave many.
