Advertisements Offering Divorce Services Condemned as Corrupt

By Editor

We have received for the second time a circular and card for advertising from a party in N. Y. city, offering to procure divorces in all the States on the most flimsy pretexts, such as “general misconduct,” &c. “No publicity, and no charge until divorce is granted.” The circular and card are nicely lithographed, and the sending forth of these requests to advertise for liberal pay, year after year, shows that this panderer to the worst passions of the human heart finds that this nefarious business pays. Could there be a more significant comment on the corruption of our times?
