GERMAN CATHOLIC CENTRAL UNION. ‘Thirteenth Annual Meeting of Delegntes To- Morrow in this City—The History of this Organization, Its Objccts and Designs. To-morrow the people of this city will witness a public demonstration, the like of which they prob- ably have never yet seen. It is a procession of thous- ands of delegates of all the numerous German Catho- ie societion throughout the United State, who assemble here on the Sunday of Pentecost to mect in a central union or Congress. Should the weather prove favoraple, it is expected by those In charge of the arrangements that the procession will not only be the most numerously attended, but also the most solemn and impressive which ever paraded in public through our streets, At any rate, we are assured that no means have been left untried to prove to the people of the metropolis the enormous advance of Catholicity in this country, particularly among the Germans, and to give them some conception of its increase of power, of which, in a republic, a large proportion is derived from mere numbers alone, Fourteen years ago no such religious corporation or confederation of societies as this Central Union was known. The German Catholics had their local societies of different kinds and with very different purposes in nearly every large city on the continent. Some had united for the building of churches or orphan asylums, others for the propagation of their faith, others again for educational purposes, and ® few for purely feligious and devotional exercies. | Another system 0 of associations bad, in the course taken among the ee Dopolaton intnis this Magee he ness or treasury of the society. ‘These associations assumed different and adopted diferent rituals, but the feature of all was the bit of their by solemn Oaths, to secrecy. were Odd Fellows among ce of more recent origin, modelled after such as the the Redmen, Hermann’s Sons, Freedom's Sons fork = tall had their secret meeting rooms, either “lodges” or « therr mysterious initiation ceremonial, thelr words, grips and other secret sigus of But the main attraction aiways remained that by the periodical eee of asmall sum considerable and welcome aid in time of need could be secu or a large Dee of German Catholics, particalar! ‘the laboring or artisan class, joined these secret soctations to secure for themselves aud families the benefits which they offered. ‘The Catholic chareh has professed, at ail times and in all countries, to be trrecouctlably hostile to all secret societies, and its leading minds have lon; sought to detect means by wht ‘h to prevent suc! large numbers of their flock joining these secret associations or “lodges.” They found that denun- ciation from the pulpit would not secure that end, and hence they resolved uvon a less obnoxious and far more efficacious method. In the fall of 1864, at the suggest “) of the Reverend Father Provincial neta Helmproc se Ah. 0.8. 3. BR. (Ordinis Soctetatis Sanctisstmi torts), about half a dozen German Catholic — met at Buffalo, this State, and issued a circular calling for a meet- ing of delegates from the several German Catholic societies in the country in the month of April follow- ing at Baltimore. Only twelve societies responded to the call, but this meagre success at the beginning not only did not discourage those who originated the movement, but inspired them to persevere and ope for the ultimate accomplishment of all their On the 16th day of April, 1 St. ip! onse Hall, in Baltimore, this Central Unton was founded amid imposing religious ceremonies, @ con- stitation and by-laws adopted and the name for the union established as the “German Roman Catholic Central Union, under the Protection of the Holy Family.” The object of the union is clearly ex- toma ressed in the second article of its constitue an which reads, transiated from the Ger- as = follows:— “The object of the union is, giving ald and support in case of poverty and sickness to the members of all German Ro- man Catholic benevolent societios in the United States of North America that have joined the Central Union.” To make the religious band which unites all these societies into one common central organiza- tion still Byonviice and less Hable to rupture, not onl; ‘were the jeges of the clergy fully recognized an embodied in the constitution, but the third clause of the as article, treating of “rights,” specially provides: py Sentral Union shall exctude, ipso facto, all societies who prove themselves anti-Catholi¢ the Gera kx their delegates from the meet+ ‘tral Ae, Wa thet ig and Ls ES inn agen rene Central Union, y the tet focbene? « ves anti- pee Understood tae when r te whe wears Sor jaw or reso» ae Bd to the Ee nd tion here that one of the im ‘incipal ineasures to come before this body will be the organization of perma- nent committees to aid newly arrived German emi- rants of Catholic taith in all the ports of the Atian- ic, and save ali from falling into the hands of haxpere, and rogues.

There are now over five hundred boys being educated at this asylum, and judging from their general appearance and the proficiency they have acquired in their studies, it is none too much to say that those who direct the course of education and the physical and Boos Nae of their wards understand their duty fully perform {t.
