lief.
A religious excitement has been lately created
IN Germany. particularly IN parts where the popule
ton Is mostly protestant, by society that has been
instituted tor the purpose OF assisting poor protes-
tant clergymen and protestant communities III ca
tholic countries, who are too INDECENT TO support a
minister This society originated some years back
In Saxony when 1t took the name of " Gustav
Ad0lphs perein, Gustavus Adoiphus Union] in hon
or Of the Protestant hero OF the Thirty years war,
who tell at the battle OF Lutzen In 1852: The King
of Prussia has accept the title of patron
TO this society," and there is doubt but that other
protestantprlnce will follow his example con-
tribution OF % GEMS Is sufficient TO constitute
member, and they are going ahead prodgiously,
but at the time violent opposition has arisen
in some of the Roman catholic sta,es, where re-
lglous intolerance relgns supreme In gulse worthy
OF the sixteenth century. The King OF BavaIia has
placed himself at the head OF the latter party, pro
hlblling any OF his subjects, Roman Catholic or
Protestant COT which there are about million and
half in his Klngdem) to receive assistance from
the aforesaid Union, or contribute towards IT Ia any
shape whatever. Some funds having been already
forwarded to Bavaria to assist the oppressed probes
tants IN building repairing their places OF worship
he ordered the money to be returned to- the parties
who sent II, giving them nolce that his subjects
were not allowed TO accept OF such contributions,
and if any more were sent hereafter they would be
handed over TO public charity, or disposed of, at
the option Of Government.
Shortly after this royal mandate, long article
appeared In the "Augemeinc Zeitnng" (published
at Augsburgh, a,city III the Bavaran domlnlons) de-
Tending the steps the King had taken, on the grounds
that this union would only give rise 10 the renewal
otrellgoHs disputes between the Catholics and Pro-
testants OF Germany, as was evident by their con-
jurlng up the phantom Of Gustavus Adolphus 10 dis
mib the peace so happily established between the
two rival sects. twas also limited that the Union
bad shown revolutionary tendency, by calling up
mn fba nIs tnr hon he uI
OF their rulers, being actuaied by the secret design
of overturnlng the lawful governments and introduce
ing system OF democracy, anarchy and lrrehgion.
This article was met by several others, from pro-
testant and even Catholic pens, pointing out how
many unions OF a similar nature existed in Catholic
countries, rldlculng the idea OF It's democratic ten
denotes, and arguing that the King OF Prussia
would scarcely have taken the Union under his
protection, II he had entertained any fear OF Its
being used as cloab for revolutionary designs
They urged the notorious fact, that Catholic
unions and societies IN different parts OF Europe,
had long been in the habit OF assisting their
sltOus brethren in Protestant countries besides en-
tertanng regular missions for the conversion OF
the latter to the true faith; and intimated that the
Protestants of Germany had felt the want OF a
similar institution, to serve rallying point In
resisting the encrOachments of their adversarles
At the same time, DR.. zimmerman, distinguished
Protestant clergyman at Darmstadt, and chaplain
to the Grand Duke of Hesse, addressed letter to
the King of Bavaria, defending the union against
the aspersons of its enemies, and appealing to the
justice OF the king to put stop to the arbitrary
measures undertaken in his name. What will be
the end OF all this whether the agitation will con-
tinue, Or whether it will die away by degrees,
without leading to any violent ebulliton OF rei.
