Literary and Theological Review"
should wi pc the dust from his spectacles,
at such crisis, and instruct the world
with another essay upon radica'lsm. We
ought to know whether ultra innovations
like these do not embody "ihe germ of
treason" and render their authors "just-
ly liable t. the highest civil penalties, and
ecclesiastical censurcs." If thos2 who
only discarded wine, as "mocker," and
, asked Bibles for the down trio lden poor,
deserved such maedictions from his pen,
what will he say to those who prescribe
tobacco, and demand promiscuous seats
for the rich and the poor 7-Friend Of
Man.
Uula'cfA Interference Of German
Catholic Priest. The following fucts,
which We have received from an authen-
tic source should be made known for the
purpose Of calling public attention to mis-
chief likely to do much injury with our
foreign population, if not checked. 1t
seems that the German Protestants in Bos
ton, and others, have formed a Protestant
Society, and that the Catholic Germans, to
counteract it, have sent for a German
Catholic Priest, who is now 10 the city.
The unlawful and impudent manner 10
which this foreigner undertakes to inter-
tere with, and set aside our laws, will be
seen by the instance Of it here related. A
German young woman Of excellent char
acter, and Protestant, after living some
time IL one Of the most respectable fam-
lies in the city, married a German, an in
dustrious shoemaker in town, who is
Catholic. This marriage the German
Priest has attempted to break up, and has
threatened the husband that if he does not
cast off his Protestant wife, he shall be
cx-communcated from the Church in this
world and roasted in Purgatory in the
next. The married couple are tenderly
| attached, and the husband vows that he
viii not leave his wife, but the poor girl
is miserable, and it is to be feared that the
Priest by operating on the superstitious
tcrrorS Of the husband, and persuading
him that the marriage is a sin in the eyes
Of the Church, will drive him to leave her
Let this notice of his movements apprze
this foreign priest, that though we toIer-
ate him and his religion, we allow no in
reference Of the Pope with our laws or
our marriage ceremonies, and il he does
not dtsist from attempting to make a hus-
h"n} abandon his wife, he may ge: INTO
trouble If Bishop Fenwick has any
control over this Priest, his knowledge Of
the world and ofpubIic opinion here, will
satisfy him Of the proprietv Of putting a
stop to this proceeding .-BostOn Press,
