Rc,,c,ous Moyemeats In GERMANY.

Having published very full account of the re-
cent exhibition at Treyes and lis consequences,
from the Protestant point of view, we deem II but
fair TO exhibit also the light in which these events
are regarded by Catholics. The following extract
from replication in the Catholic Telegraph 10 an
article in the Cincinnati Gazette will subserYe this
purpose:
This great pilgrimasein Germany must be looked
al in very dliierentligh from that in winch Pro-
testanis consider H. in order that lis true character
NAV be ascertained Like the temperance move
ment in Ireland, like the waking OF the genus et
Catholicism In England II Is not 10 human efforts
that we are 10 attribute The change, but 10 Inc de-
yelopmc mt of the Almighty providence, IN The pre-
marathon of the world Tor some grand manifestation
of His will The splnt OF God has breathed upon
the great ocean; it slept, but II Is now agitated
He IS putting forth HIS arm 10 lllt up His Church.
TO restrain mplety, TO save revelation from the dis
grace and confusion with whIch ihs reform pfihcl,
ples have overwhelmed IT. They are shoT-slshled
who cannot trace The course IN which The current
of human thought is running with force and rapdl-
". This pilgrimage al which the small paragraph
writers and Writings are directing so many reproach
er. has awakened very different feelings In the
rnnds of great and eminent men, new work
has been published in Germany, entitled P" New
Years elections" by the celebrated Protestant
writer. Woisang Menzel. This man, so thorough
lv ami Catholic and so distinguished IN all The de-
parlments of German literature, speaks OF this phi
grmage TO Trevrs in the work which we have
mentioned In the course OF his remarks ne poiE's
out the deep thought and feeling OF this Catholic
movement, and the ptiiul and superficial character
of The press which has altackedlt.
@How unconcious," h. says, "the Protestant
press is of the signs of the times we can see from
The manner in which they regarded and treated The
immense pilgrimage OF the Roman Cathollcs TO
the hoIy robe of Trsves. She only wondered al
the old superstition. and thought such folly would
soon be forgotten like book. She does not COM
prehcnd that ii ,cds ComnieIon IN the great mass
of the nation Eren the p0iititi0ns 'rere so hifaf-
1ated that theg could not comprehend the meaning
0f this cre7il About two millions ot people as
sembe on tie borders of France and Germany ;
more than a thousand French priests iTaterniZe
with German prie.ts-and yet the press has only
TO laugh at the nonsense OF dong homage TO
piece of cloth A power develops ITSELF Ike
sian, and double eagle, lifting his broad wings over
Europp. with one head turned To Pars-the other
TO Berlin, but with the one heart 10 Eome, and the
press understands il not; the noise OF her goose
ouills. makes the noise Of those eagle wings un-
heard" This is the train OF reflection which Is
awakened in great mlndsby this event; those who
belong TO different order oi intellect, take the
same view OF the subject as The cincinnati pa-
zette."
We do not know that it is necessary, and ye, we
choose to say that we cannot regard the Religious
convulsion in Switzerland our Frankfort cores
pondent does If the Canton Of Lucerne chooses
to employ Jesuts to instruct her children, we may
question the wisdom of her choice, brt we do not
see by what right other canlons or even the Federal
Die,-much less the private citizens OF other can
tons-can assume 10 ovcrrule LuccrDe and dictate
different teachers for her youth by holy text OF
pike and gum. We can wei! believe that there
have been faults on both sides; but II really ap-
pears to us that the recent overwhelming defeat
of the Free Corps Of misnamed Liberalism, In
their attack en- Lucerne, was Just about what they
