From the Not? York Tribune.FUEE-LOVE IN NEW YORK.Individual Sovereignty realized—Secret Society of the League—Us origin, Historyand organization—Principles and practice of the Free-Lovers*We have for sometime been aware of the existence in this city of a body of persons united in a secret society for the purpose, not merely of discussing those principles of extreme social lawlessness known by the general term of Individual Sovereignty, and of confirming themselves in such principles; but also of carrying them into practice, especially in the sexual relations. As soon asthis fact came to our knowledge, we did not fail, of course, in the discharge of onr duty to the public, to set on foot an investigation for the purpose of useerlaming the truth with regard to such a society, in order to bring the same to the tribunal of public option. But the obscurity in which its members saw fit to envelope their transactions was so complete that it was not practicable to obtain accurate ar.d trust-worthy information, and we were constrained to keep silence on the subject. Recently, however, the obligation of secrecy has been in a greatmeasure, if not altogether relaxed ; and we have succeeded in obtaining from various sources the subjoined accounts of this society, its past, history and its present state and purposes. Of these accounts, some, as will be seem, are furnished by persons attached to the movement, while others arc hostile to it; but wo believe these facts stated are in every respect correct.
