SECOND TREATISE.

Memorable events, by which the parties of Abolitionists and

Republicans as well as subjects of Monarchs should be aroused for

co-operation with us, to draw not only the President and the

Congress of the United States but also monarchs on our ground for

the introduction of the promised universal Republic of Harmony and

Peace on earth.

As strange as our disclosures made in the first treatise may appear to

those who have neglected to observe the signs of the times, they should

not be surprised who know that the time for the fulfilment of the great

promises in regard to mankind had arrived, although all things seem to

run in quite another course than they expected.

In the 6th verse of the 14th chap. of the REVELS. the first of the three

Angels spoken of in that and the following verses, commences to deliver

his message. At the commencement of the last century it was known

amongst German theologians, that those three angels or messengers are

the three men, each of whom is representing a body of messengers by whom

the contents of the prophecy given to each of those angels are to be

fulfilled. The first is preaching the everlasting Gospel, the contents

of which are given in the 7th verse. Gospel is Greek evangelion and

means glad tidings. The contents of the glad tiding of his preaching is

that nations should be converted from their idols to God the creator of

the universe, and he announces that the time of judgment had arrived.

The commencement of this preaching took place with Martin Luther, so

that he is to be considered as the representative of those, who are

comprehended in the prophecy of the first of those three angels. But

Luther and other preachers who came at that time and afterwards against

the Pope of Rome, and continue yet in the same spirit their work, did

not know in Luther's time nor afterwards, nor do they know in our time

their position, except as they learn it by what is disclosed by the

third angel or messenger, who commences his prophecy in the 9th verse of

the 14th chap. of the REVEL. In the third of my five German volumes,

published from A.D. 1838 to 1842 it has been shown that Luther had a

prophetical position, that is, he was according to the term adopted by

modern spiritualists, a very strong medium, inspired and supported by

his leaders, who were deluding and destroying spirits, who did not know

the true God and his Christ, but were prophesying judgments which took

place and continue till people shall be converted from their idols to

the living God. The three hundred years from Luther's appearance to our

appearance, were years of manifold developments preparatory to our

mission. Although Luther was born in Eisleben, that means "the life in

ice," because the fire of Christian charity has been extinguished, and

the spirit of persecution was nourished amongst all parties and sects,

notwithstanding this great preparations have taken place since his

public appearance till our public appearance, and there is an admirable

correspondence between his actions in the sixteenth century and my

actions which took place in the same years of the nineteenth century,

till Luther died on the 18th day of February 1546, which year in our

century, I mean 1846, was the great tropical year for dreadful

renovations of judgments, for the reason that the leaders of parties and

sects and their followers have rejected our message, which I commenced

to proclaim after having been publicly initiated to my present mission

on the 18th day of February 1838. We shall speak further on in this book

regarding the great event. But we have mentioned Doctor Martin Luther as

representing the champions of Protestantism against Popery. Their

mission is only prophetical. On their position they are supporting

Popery or Monarchy in general and they are particularly supporting a

number of Popish tenets regarding the Bible, regarding Christ and his

mission and manifold other doctrines, in which when they endeavored to

improve, they generally apostatized farther from truth towards

materialism, than the papal Hierarchy themselves; but they were

continuously repeating the substance of their prophecy, that people

should be converted from their idols to the living God. But by all that

repetition parties and sects multiplied, and there has been since Martin

Luther's appearance until this hour so dreadful a Babylon, or confusion

and delusion in social, political and ecclesiastical affairs, as there

never was before. And while pious men were looking into the prophecies,

to see the end of this dreadful Babylon, Doctor Bengel of Wurtemberg in

Germany was awakened in the first part of the last century, to compare

for many years the prophetical dates of the Revelation with events of

the ecclesiastical history, and has shown in his book, entitled:

"Erklaerte Offenbarung," which means "Revelation explained," that

Christ's manifestation for overcoming his enemies and establishing his

peaceable reign on earth, would take place about the year 1836. John

Wesley was not the author but only the copy holder of what Doctor Bengel

has explained in the Revelation.

That Doctor Bengel was the 2nd angel representing the body of messengers

spoken of in REVELATION xiv. 8, has been shown in my above mentioned 3d

volume, in which it is made manifest, that the mission of the 2nd angel

is as well prophetical, as the mission of the first angel, REVEL. xiv.

6. But in this treatise we had only to mention matters, which have been

explained in my quoted volume. Doctor Bengel and the whole body of

messengers who came from his school proclaiming the coming of Christ

about the year 1836, and Wm. Miller and the army of preachers with him

who were proclaiming Christ's coming about the year 1843, and others

proclaiming it in some other period, were ignorant about the manner of

his coming or of his manifestation for establishing his peaceable reign.

All these and many other things have been reserved to the 3d angel or

messenger, spoken of in REVEL. xiv. 9. This is our mission. The martyr

on the white cloud in the 14th verse, having "in his hand a sharp

Sickle," was my leader in what I had to perform in the Roman Catholic

Church in the year 1838 as the 3d angel REVEL.: xiv. 9, representing the

body of messengers, by whom the proclamation of the contents of REVEL.:

xiv. 9, 10, 11, must be made everywhere. And those great events and the

prophecies in which they have been predicted, have been explained in the

first three of my above mentioned German volumes; and we have so many

credentials or signs according to prophecies testifying our mission,

that while we were writing the fifth of my above mentioned five volumes,

we were repeating, that sensible readers of those volumes were aware,

that five hundred volumes could be written, testifying our mission. And

when they study this whole volume and comprehend it, they will be

convinced of the same truth.

The third angel or the messenger representing the body of messengers, by

whose efficacy the beast and its image and the false prophet supporting

them, will disappear from the globe, gives in the last treatise of this

book the plan according to which the beast and its image and the false

prophet will disappear and Christ's peaceable reign will be established

on the whole globe. Peace would have been already established amongst

nations of the Christian name and they would have labored at this time

powerfully in the conversion of Heathens not to one or the other sect

but into the peaceable reign of Christ, which will be the universal

Republic of Truth and Justice, if those who have been exhorted first, to

study our message of peace had fulfilled their highest duty. The first

who have been powerfully urged to study our message of peace and the

credentials of our mission, were bishops, doctors of divinity and other

clergymen of all parties and sects where I had opportunity to reach

them. But when they refused to fulfill their highest duty, I was

particularly engaged to move abolitionists to study what has been

providentially prepared by our instrumentality to move slaveholders

themselves for co-operation with us to introduce the millennium or the

universel Republic of Truth and Justice and Peace amongst all nations:

because I was certain, that if the abolitionists would study it,

slaveholders themselves would do the same. But alas! when Jesus was

explaining the dreadful condition of Jerusalem, the Jews did not see it.

Likewise also citizens of the United States do not see theirs as we see

it from the position of our mission. The principal elements of the

vulcano the eruption of which is yet latent, are in leaders of

abolitionists, who are obstinate materialists refusing to make use of

the means which are offered them in our message to extinguish the

burning vulcano. They have lost discernment and judgment, when it is

most necessary to make the right use of it, to liberate the country from

the yoke of tyrants. Although I could write volumes to illustrate my

assertion, at this occasion I mention only a little of my experience in

the Convention to overcome evil with good, and which was in the

newspapers announced under the specious title: Philanthropic Convention

to overcome evil with good, and which was held on the 10th, 11th and

12th days of September, 1858, in Utica of the State of New-York. The

most influential persons in that Convention were Abolitionists of the

Garrisonian and Gerrit Smith's parties and Spiritulists belonging to

those and to the Republican party. I attended that Convention to offer

the remedy against the pernicious effects, which are produced by the

wrong course which leaders of those parties pursue for destruction of

this Republic, and to show the course which all true reformers have to

pursue for Harmony and Peace of all nations.

That those who are concerned and their followers might be converted to

the true Republican cause, and all true Republicans might be

strengthened not to be deceived by secret and open servants of tyrants

and by deluding and destroying spirits and sectarian ministers of

darkness, I find proper to insert here the article which I wrote shortly

after the Convention, but I did not find a chance to publish; because we

are not popular, when we dare to express so great truths as are

comprehended in said lengthy article which reads as follows:

Preparations for the resolutions "to overcome evil with good;" also:

introductory remarks to expose the league by which the Utica

"Philantrophic Convention" was governed.

There are many such pretenders as the Garrisonian Liberator of Boston,

who, under the specious pretext to liberate slaves, are the greatest

supporters of slavery, by rejecting the means providentially prepared

for deliverance of all men and women from the yoke of tyrants, and by

instigating people to Revolutions and other sacrilegious enterprises to

ruin this country and bring it under the yoke of monarchs. While I was

endeavoring in many places, to move people to study our disclosures

regarding the divine plan for a peaceful abolition of all kinds of

slavery by co-operation of slaveholders themselves, and for the

introduction of the promised universal Republic of Harmony and Peace,

which is usually although improperly called the millennium, I found them

everywhere so deluded by the infernal league, that they have neglected

to study "the one thing needfull" for the true freedom of all nations.

During my travelling in more than twenty of the United States I stopped

several times in the Western Reserve of Ohio. I found more worshippers

of the Garrisonian Liberator there than in other sections of the country

of the same population, those places excepted, which are inhabited by

that sect of Quakers who are called "Progressive Friends," who are

progressing very fast in the arts of the infernal league for the ruin of

the true Republican cause. I arrived A.D. 1847 at the Quaker settlement,

called Green Plane, near Xenia in Ohio, and appointed there in a

Wesleyan meeting-house a Convention, in which I proposed to explain the

signs of our mission and the plan according to which, when it will be

understood and spread on the globe, all kinds of slavery will be

abolished. I expected that Quakers and other Abolitionists of that

section of the country would take great interest in our movement. But I

experienced afterwards, that the small Popes of that section were

against it, although they themselves did not disturb our Convention; but

a Quaker and a Wesleyan minister, both from a distance, were so great

disturbers of it, that whenever an important point was to be examined,

they directed the attention of the audience to other subjects; although

that Convention has been called for an examination of the points

concentrated in my manuscript. When I saw, that they were in conspiracy

with others in the Convention, I myself dissolved it. I asked then the

Quaker preacher Joseph Dugdale, whose residence was next to the

meeting-house of the Convention, why he did not attend it. He answered,

that he received from the spirit what he needed. I started from thence

for the Western Reserve of Ohio, and appointed in Trumbol County a

Convention, and sent an article to the Garrisonian Liberator. In that

article I assured the Abolitionists, that from my documents which should

be examined in the Convention, it would be evident, that we have

received the mission, and that we have as credentials of our mission a

long chain of signs according to prophecies, by which we are assured,

that we will abolish all kinds of slavery and monarchy by the power of

the spirit, with the assistance of slaveholders themselves, when

abolitionists shall comprehend our message and spread it on the globe.

Lloyd Garrison, the head medium of the infernal league, has published my

article, but with such editorial remarks, as were quite agreeable to his

master, the infernal Holiness. I forgot to inquire, whether my article

appeared or not in the Liberator, till on the first day of our

Convention a man remarked that our Convention was small on account of

Garrison's editorial remarks to my article and his grand tent meeting in

the neighborhood at the same time with our Convention. I came from a

distance, and was ignorant of the great provisions made by the infernal

holiness to retain his slaves in bondage at the appointment of our

Convention for their deliverance. The same man had a copy of the

Liberator containing my article with Garrison's remarks. They were read

to the Convention. Then I made my remarks[J] and the proposition, to

finish our Convention so as to reach on the last day Garrison's[K] grand

tent meeting in Lima, Ohio, and proclaim there our resolutions.

We did so. A committee from our convention went with me, and we arrived

in Lima at the Garrisonian tent meeting on the last day. Several

thousand persons were assembled, and the first business after our

arrival was the reading of a resolution, in which Garrison and his

fellow laborers were declared as the true ministers of the Gospel, in

connexsion with a fatal blow to the ministers of other sects. A general

reception of the resolution was testified with "yes" from a thousand

voices; but when the contrary vote was required, there was only my "no"

heard; but it was so strong, that it surprised the whole audience. I

added that I came to show, who the true ministers of the Gospel[L] were.

We agreed with the committee consisting of three public speakers, that

they should make use of the first opportunity to proclaim the

resolutions which have been unanimously adopted in our Convention. Soon

after my tremendous "no" one of our committee arose and told the

assembled thousands, that a committee sent from an anti-slavery

Convention had arrived with most important resolutions, to be publicly

read in the grand tent meeting. The chairman replied, that next after

the address of the man who occupied the floor, they should deliver their

resolutions. They went directly on the platform. But the pharisees on

the platform were anxious to find out, who the man was, that gave the

strong negative vote to their resolution. Some amongst them knew me

personally. Therefore as soon as our committee came upon the platform,

the above mentioned Quaker preacher Joseph Dugdale came to me inquiring,

whether that committee belonged to my association or not. I said, that

he should not ask me, but the committee, to which association they

belonged.

One of the deepest English investigators into the Jewish and Christian

antiquities wrote in one of his publications, that there is no society

more like the society of the Old Pharisees, than the Society of Quakers

is. He knew them in England, and I know them in America, and confess

that it is true in regard to the Quaker speculators, who have enslaved

the whole Quaker society, to be in their servitude and to prepare in

their ignorance of matters the subjugation of the whole country under

the yoke of monarchs. Joseph Dugdale is the principal medium who was

carried soon after that spectacle to Pennsylvania, and demons were

powerfully operating through him in starting the sect of the

"Progressive Friends." But at that tent meeting he inspired the heads to

be cautious in admitting our committee to speak. Therefore after the

address of the man after whom our committee according to the promise of

the chairman were to address the tent meeting, another was announced by

name, to speak, and then a second, a third, and so on, although our

committee were waiting on the platform from 9 o'clock A.M. till 2 or 3

P.M. At length the chairman announced, that teams had arrived, to carry

the tent from that to another place. Provisions had been made, that if

there should be danger for the infernal league, things might be

prepared, to break of the tent. Therefore when the chairman announced

the advent of the teams, another pharisee mentioned, that the waiting

committee had not yet spoken and the chairman said, that they should

speak.

The speaker, instead of reading directly the resolutions of our

Convention, undertook to prepare the audience by telling them, that he

knew how to value the great zeal of Mr. Garrison for the deliverance of

slaves. And as far Mr. Garrison and others on the platform seemed to be

pleased. But as soon as he mentioned, that "Garrison is not infallible,"

those who were ready for action, commenced to break off the tent, and

there arose such a tumult amongst the assembled people, that nobody

could distinguish the voice of the speaker from the noise of the crowd.

These items may suffice, to make known the infallible Pope, the

Garrisonian Liberator, although I could write many volumes of

extroardinary spirit manifestations in public and private meetings with

members of that party, while I was endeavoring to deliver them from the

shackles of the infernal Holiness and his armies. But they remained so

fastened, as in their "Philanthropic Convention" in Utica, which I

attended because we had been informed, that the Poughkeepsie seer,

Andrew Jackson Davis, was the principal author of said Convention, or,

the principal medium of speculators calculating to extend the government

of the infernal liberator by using said Convention. Andrew Jackson Davis

is the prince of mediums of spirits, who appear as angels of light, but

when they are tried by us, they are made manifest as dreadful deluding

and destroying demons. After they had been made manifest to me by his

deceiving publications, I tried several times to reach him personally,

and to show him his dreadful situation and how he could arrive on our

ground. But his cunning demons carried him away from my presence. At

length I met with him on the tenth of this month September, 1858, in

the "Philanthropic Convention" of Utica. Ira Hitchcock was appointed

chairman. His first name means in Latin "wrath" or "vengence," and the

second name is in the English language appropriate to the important

office which our duped and deceived friend did receive in said

Convention. Mr. Davis offered some rules, to be observed in the

Convention They were adopted. One of those rules was, that no speaker

should occupy more than twenty minutes, except the audience should

desire, that after the expiration of twenty minutes he should continue

to speak.

Mr. Davis was called, to open the Convention with his speech. It was

read from a manuscript and contained a very imposing and deceiving view

of the past and the present in the history of mankind. Since his reading

lasted more than one hour, I asked after its close, that it should be

decided, whether those who open the meeting, should be bound by the

adopted rule of twenty minutes, or be permitted to speak or read as long

as they would be pleased also when they misrepresent the history in such

an absurd manner as the speaker did. No regard was taken of what I said,

and they proceeded in singing and speaking.

The afternoon session was opened with as long a reading as the forenoon

session. After the reading they debated, whether it should be directly

printed in a newspaper of the place and in extra copies, or not. It was

unanimously decided that it should be printed, except that I disturbed

the unanimous vote with a powerful "no." But when I desired to give my

reasons, that its publication would not serve "to overcome evil with

good," but to increase the evil, I was stopped, as being not in order in

opposition to a resolution which had been unanimously carried out.

For a better understanding of the spectacles which will be mentioned

afterwards, we must remark the following incident, which happened on

that day, to wit, somebody mentioned, that there came many female

mediums from a great distance in the expectation to be moved in the

Convention by spirits to speak, that therefore all these mediums should

come on the platform, and speak, whenever any of them should be moved by

a spirit to do so. I think that others felt the absurdity of that

proposition, which if it had been, accepted, would have created great

confusion and hindrance to the realization of their speculations;

therefore they did not respond to his suggestion. Readers should know,

that if not all, certainly most of the heads and the agents of that

Convention were spiritualists of the latest fashion.

On the afternoon of that day, after singing, I suddenly took the stand,

to make use of the twenty minutes time, conceded by the rule of the

Convention to every speaker. I wished to show, that nobody in the

Convention touched the root of the evil; and that when others have

neglected to study our message of Peace, which shows that root and how

to extirpate it, at length spiritualists have been urged to do so. But

they, instead of progressing and learning by our message, how to

overcome evil with good, were attached to evil spirits, and they deluded

people regarding our message of Peace, when we endeavored to move them

to study it and act accordingly. Instead of many instances of our

experience testifying this, I would mention only my experience at the

last public meeting of spiritualists which I attended in the City of New

York. A female medium whose lying spirits were exposed by me in a public

meeting of spiritualists in Philadelphia on the first day of the last

month (August 1858) came on the 22d of the same month to a meeting of

spiritualists in New-York, in which meeting I spoke. During my speech

the demon by whom she was possessed, propelled her three times to stop

my speech. But when he was rebuked so terribly, that her friends could

not bear any longer, they awakened her from her sleep and carried her

out of the hall. But as soon as I ceased to speak, she returned; and the

demon shut instantly her eyes, and said through her, that I am a Judas

Jscariot, a Jesuit, an emissary of the Pope, &c. The chairman was

induced, to ask the name of the spirit; but he refused to tell his name.

Then he said through his medium, that he is "Donquixote Thomas Paine."

The first name he pronounced so that I knew by the pronunciation, who

amongst my departed friends was the controller of the lying spirit, by

whom the medium was possessed. My departed friend compelled him in the

first place to tell, that he was Don Quixote, known as the hero in the

celebrated Spanish romance or fable called Don Quixote. A similar

fiction was also the speech of the demon by whom that medium was

possessed, only that those who do not know me, might take the calumny of

the devil for truth. After the confession that he was Don Quixote, to

make which he was compelled by a higher power, he added according to his

lying propensity, that he was Thomas Paine, although he was not Thomas

Paine.

When I desired to explain, from which sphere of spirits that liar came,

I was stopped by a man crying behind me to the chairman, asking him

whether I should be permitted or not to occupy an hour, while nobody

could understand me. At such interruptions I strike sometimes the

impudent demons, as they deserve to be stricken. I think, that I did not

speak ten minutes, when that interruption took place. To draw my

attention from the disturbing demon, Henry C. Wright jumped to me,

saying that I should not speak, because I am not understood, and he told

the audience that he knew me to be a good man, but that I could not be

understood by Americans. I interrupted him saying with indignation, that

he did not know me and that those do not understand me, who have ears

and will not hear and eyes and will not see. I felt that the audience

were not prepared for further explanations; but the truth is, that while

I have been speaking English on more than one thousand places in

America, those who have acquired some education and paid attention to my

discourses, understood me; but enemies of truth complained, that they

could not understand me, or they made disturbance. Not to give to demons

any opportunity to enrage their mediums against me at the night session

of that day, I would not attend that session.

On the 11th inst. at the first opportunity at the forenoon session I

offered the resolutions to be read, for a better understanding of which

these remarks are a preparation. But the chairman remarked, that that

was not the proper time for reading my resolutions. Then I kept silence

at that session. But during the afternoon session I offered several

times my resolutions to be read. But Ira Hitchcock always interfered,

pointing to some other, that he was in order to speak, although I did

not see, that he arose before me for this purpose.

I found proper not to attend any of the following sessions of said

Convention, in which I have offered the means, "to overcome evil with

good;" but the infernal league hindered their communication to the

people, and when the mediums of the infernal league thought, that they

were removing evil and promoting good, they were doing just the

contrary. If we have the mission which is proved in many of my volumes

and expressed at the end of the resolutions for which we are preparing

readers by these remarks, then all those who are hindering the

circulation of our message of Peace, are the most dreadful slaveholders

and destroyers of human life and property. They keep people in shackles

of delusion and ignorance of what they should know, to prevent

destruction of many and subjugation of the remnant by cruel tyrants.

I saw the report of the proceedings on the first day of the Convention

in two Utica daily papers. I quote from the Utica Morning Herald,

September 11th, 1858, the following passage regarding my first

interference, as follows: "at the conclusion of Mr. Davis' lengthy

harangue, a German arose and said, he hopes that those who opens the

meetings, speaks no more as twenty minutes, or not! I have prepared a

speech on the root of all evil that will not dake so mooch dime as the

friends who have speak!" The devil, that means calumniator, by whom this

reporter was so possessed, that he knew neither orthography nor grammar,

was not so bad as the devil, by whom the evening 'Telegraph' was

possessed. He, in the service of the heads of the Convention, calls me

"the member from Germany," also "the teutonic individual," and what he

reports, he so reports for the benefit of the infernal league according

to the wishes of mediums of lying spirits, that I had to write much if I

would explain the cunning malice, which is comprehended in the

misrepresentations and lies in regard to the exertions which I made to

move the "Philanthropic Convention" to an investigation of my written

documents showing that which is first necessary to overcome evil with

good. But here not being room, I quote only the following passage, which

the Telegraph has published as my saying: "I knew Don Ke Shott; some

call him Don Quixote, but I call him Don Ke Shott. I can tell you all

about him."

Mediums of lying and destroying spirits have been brought to that

Convention from the Cities of New-York, Boston and many other places of

several States. To deliver those slaves from their tyrants, I mentioned,

that at my last attendance of a public meeting of spiritualists in

New-York a female medium was seized by a terrible devil who declared,

that I was "Judas Iscariot[M], an emissary from the Pope, a Jesuit,"

although after my having been from A.D. 1819, till 1838 a Roman Catholic

Priest, I was working since the year 1838, according to my mission, with

great zeal for the abolition of all kinds of Popery. On this account I

am abused and persecuted not only by the agents of the grand Pope of

Rome, but also by such small Popes, as have been assembled in said

"Philanthropic Convention" as well as by their reporters. I mentioned in

my address, that the lying spirit who said through the female medium,

that I am a "Judas Iscariot[M], a Jesuit, an emissary from the Pope,"

did confess then, that he is "Don Quixote Thomas Paine." But that my

remark was then so terribly abused, as the above quoted passage

testifies. Lying spirits are supported by speakers and by editors of

newspapers.

The reader should recollect what I said above regarding Henry C.

Wright's assisting his colleague interrupting my speech. The Herald

reports it, as follows: "Mr. Wright finally said he had known Smollnikar

for some time, he was a very worthy man, but the Convention could not

understand him when he tried to speak English." Smollnikar--"They have

ears and will not hear, they have eyes and will not see."

The Herald has given here the substance and also the name of Mr. Wright.

But this did not agree with the position of the heads of the

Convention, who have promised free speech, and then one of the principal

heads of Abolitionists came as Judas Jscariot to me, and assisted the

murderer of my message, with a hypocritical address to the audience, as

if he was my best friend. Therefore instead of his name Henry C. Wright

there appeared in the Telegraph "a lagerbeer," as if I had spoken so in

the Convention, that intoxicated Germans themselves had found it

necessary to stop me in my speech.

I did not see any German in the Convention; but it would be too mild to

call Henry C. Wright a "lagerbeer." He is a "Wright" or a workman, an

emissary of the infernal "Ira Hitchcock," The Latin word "Ira" means the

wrath or vengence, which appeared in the chairman Ira Hitchcock, or

hitch, that means catch the cock, that he might not cry and awaken

people from their lethargy, to save the country from the infernal wrath

and vengeance, which is kindled by such emissaries of His Infernal

Holiness, as Henry C. Wright is, a blasphemer of the Living God and His

Christ, and a rebel against Divine Decrees made manifest in our mission,

but which have been despised by Henry C. Wright, Ira Hitchcock and other

heads of said Convention. Those rebels against God and His Christ had

many years ago opportunity to learn the Divine Decrees for redemption of

oppressed humanity; but they have conspired also in their last

Convention, to check their proclamation and to open the infernal crater

of a volcano to destroy the country by rebellion and other crimes, which

have been openly defended by Henry C. Wright and others in that

Convention, in which by our mission the means were offered to abolish

all kinds of slavery in a peaceable manner.

In my signature at the end of the resolutions as well as in my

publications, you find my name correctly written. But the mentioned

reporters were mediums of deluding and destroying spirits by whom they

were magnetized and were made deaf and blind, so that they thought, I

was a German; although they should have so much sense of discernment,

and judgment, as to know from my pronunciation, that I am not a German.

If I had been a German, I could not have received[N] the mission with

which I am charged--because the messenger in the mission with which I

am charged, must come, according to prophecies, from the Slavonian

nation, from the country called Illyria or Illyricum, from the town,

named in my mother tongue Kamnik, in Greek and Latin Lithopolis, in

German Stein, in English Stone.

Against the impudence with which also my language was so terribly

misrepresented there is no room to make more than this remark:

A.D. 1835, I wrote a Latin treatise "On the congeniality of languages,"

showing how by the comparative study of languages many deep truths for

the introduction of Christ's peaceable Reign or of the universal

Republic of Truth and Justice would be unravelled. Before I was

qualified to write such a treatise, I had to study many ancient and

modern languages, some more thoroughly, and some only by looking over

the grammar and dictionary. Here is no room to explain the reasons, why

I devoted, before writing said treatise, only some few hours and learned

more than the Herald and the Telegraph and other scoffers of our mission

have learned all their life time regarding the etymology of their own

English mother tongue. If they cannot comprehend this our assertion

without our explanation, I am ready to explain it in an article, if they

promise to publish it in their newspapers: because it may awaken many

scholars for co-operation with us to introduce the new Era of Union and

Peace of nations, who have in their ignorance of matters worked until

now for disunion of nations and for destruction of human life and

property.

We hope, that editors and publishers of newspapers, who have by their

reports misrepresented our mission, will not remain mediums of lying and

destroying spirits, but will, as their duty requires, publish this

article, and comprehend the importance of the preceding remarks as well

as of the "Resolutions" which follow and what is annexed to the

resolutions, to move the American nation and by their mediumship all

nations for action, to redeem oppressed humanity from the yoke of

tyrants, and that those for whom it would be impossible, to publish the

whole in one number, will publish it in two or three numbers. Our

resolutions have been offered to the Convention in the following words:

Resolutions for the "Philanthropic Convention to overcome evil with

good," held in Utica on the 10th, 11th, and 12th September 1858.

Whereas the writer of the following resolutions did hear nothing in

this Convention of "the general fundamental cause of the existing

evils in the social, religious and political relations of mankind,"

and according to his knowledge in no Convention of the so called

reformers has this general fundamental cause been found out, and

will not be comprehended by them, till they come on the ground

which the writer occupies, according to his mission, which is made

manifest in the documents which have been offered to be read in

this Convention. When those documents will be read and

comprehended, the following resolutions will be adopted:

Resolved 1st, that the general fundamental cause of the evils which

are to be removed from the social, political and religious

relations of mankind, is founded in the Old Heavens and in the Old

Earth, that means the old institutions, which will be removed when

they shall be comprehended by true reformers, since the so called

reformers who are warring against those institutions from their

materialistic position, are supporting those institutions, because

they are mediums of those spirits who are subject to and controlled

by the Papal Imperial Royal Spirits, so that materialism and the

modern spiritualism are the last outbreaks of Popery, and

materialists and modern spiritualists are the means of the outbreak

of the worst evils, which remain latent, till the materialistic

spirits come in collision with the rules given by their

controllers, the Popish spirits. From this collision of spirits

originate riots, wars and other evils, which will be removed, when

the pretended reformers and mediums of deluding and destroying

spirits will receive the light which has been kindled by the

mediumship of the writer.

Resolved 2d, That the particular and in the exterior life of people

manifest evils, which are easily observed by those materialists who

are falsely called reformers, cannot be removed from the society,

till true reformers understand the real position of the existing

churches and the spiritualism in the churches as well as the modern

spiritualism out of the churches; because without this

understanding there is neither knowledge nor strength in the so

called reformers, to effect the true reformation, and to establish

the promised Peace amongst all nations, for which the means are

developed in the publications and manuscripts of the writer of

these resolutions.

It is expected, that those who have called this Convention, and

those who attend it are not so blind that they having called "a

Convention to overcome evil with good,"[O] and granted freedom of

speech in this Convention, this freedom being accepted by the

assembly, would reject the good which is offered by the writer to

overcome evil; since the writer affirms that those who are anxious

to speak in this Convention, have nothing to say, which has not

been already many times repeated in Conventions, if it is for any

use at all to remove evil, but that the writer has to communicate

matters to remove evil, which are not known to those who attend

this Convention, as will be evident, if the two documents which are

offered to be read in this Convention, and which have been written,

one the last month, and the other during the travelling of the

writer from New-York to this Convention, will be read publicly to

this assembly. The writer remarks especially in regard to the

mediums of spirits by whom they have been brought, to speak with

closed eyes in this Convention, that from the documents offered to

be read, it will be made manifest, that their spirits are deluding

spirits, from whom the mediums will be delivered, and enlightened

by spirits of Truth, if they study with attention the writings

which have been produced by the mediumship of the writer who signs

his name and the charges which he has received for the introduction

of the New Heaven.

ANDREW B. SMOLNIKER, &c. see title page.

Neither this lengthy nor other shorter articles which have been offered

since that time to editors of newspepers did suit their taste in the

general corruption of the press. I saw since that time, to wit in

December, 1858, again personally Mr. Garrisson in his office in Boston,

but he was as stubborn in his pernicious course as in former times. I

called very seldom, when I was in Philadelphia, in the "Garrisonian"

antislavery office. But it happened, I think, towards the end of the

winter season, A.D. 1858, while I was passing that office, that I was

impressed to enter it. I found there a rich Mulatto with whom I had been

acquainted for years, but who was so chained by the Garrisonian

imposition, that although I walked several times some miles from

Philadelphia to teach him in his house, how our master had decreed to

deliver slaves by co-operation of slaveholders themselves, the rich

Mulatto had never time to study our message of Peace, although he seemed

to burn with great zeal for redeeming slaves, and he and his wife had

superabundance of time to attend antislavery meetings and conventions

and to perform all prescriptions of "the Garrisonian Liberator." At that

my meeting with him in the "Anti-slavery Office" I understood from his

conversation with others, that they had appointed a meeting at

candle-light of that day, and that that Mulatto was by virtue of his

office president of that meeting. I did not inquire, for what

antislavery purpose that meeting was appointed, and without asking this

I said to the Mulatto, that I was also inclined to attend that meeting,

if he would tell after their meeting to the audience, that I had a

message which would need no more than three minutes time, and that my

message would not interfere with their meeting. The rich Mulatto

accepted my offer.

That meeting was held in a large church of the colored people and the

church was crowded. But I was quite surprised, when I understood from

their proceedings and harangues, that it was an "underground railroad"

meeting, in which they disclosed so much of their secret proceedings of

the transportation of slaves to Canada, and endeavored by their

revolutionary speeches to kindle the animal passions of the audience to

rebellion that if such a meeting would have been held in France or

Austria or several other monarchies, all speakers would have been

imprisoned in the State's Prison and if not all, certainly several of

them would have remained perpetually in prison. After their meeting the

rich Mulatto chairman announced, that I had to deliver a short message

independent from their meeting. I mentioned briefly, that I am a

messenger of Peace, having superabundance of credentials for delivering

slaves by co-operation of slaveholders themselves, if abolitionists

would learn our message and give good example to slaveholders; and that,

since there was no time for an explanation of the matter, they should

appoint a committee to whom a manuscript of mine should be read,

containing that which those should know, who are working for redemption

of slaves. A committee of five colored men was appointed; but at our

first meeting all members of the committee were not present, and those

who came to the first meeting were so distracted with other business,

that they did not pay attention to what has been read the first time,

and the others had their excuses to come again, except a Mulatto from

West India who would have persevered, if others had done the same. But

he alone could do nothing, because he was not a long time in

Philadelphia and had not much influence there.

I have given here one case of my experience, instead of hundreds of

cases, how dreadfully the colored people are duped and deceived by the

heads of antislavery armies, while these heads or popes appear to have

great zeal for deliverance of slaves, although they are the cause, that

some of them are killed, and those who are brought to Canada, become

more miserable slaves than they have been before, because they are

drilled in weapons to kill and be killed, while our master offers by our

instrumentality to the anti-slavery champions the means to deliver white

and black slaves from all forms of oppression[P] and slavery. But there

are many, under the specious name of the antislavery cause, agents of

monarchs and traitors of the true Republican or true anti-slavery cause.

And those who are not directly bribed by monarchial agents for the

conversion of this country into monarchies, are mediums or instruments

of deluding and destroying spirits, by whom they are so blinded that

they, really believe, that they are working "for deliverance of the poor

slave," while they are assisting monarchs, to enslave the whole country.

I think that our friend Grerrit Smith is such a medium. We have tried to

convert him many years ago from his delusion, and after previous

preparations which we have made in his house, it was, I think, on the

18th of February, 1845, (which is the anniversary of great events in

our mission,) that I met with him in a convention of antislavery

ministers and other abolitionists, which was held in Syracuse, N.Y. He

was chairman. A number of resolutions for operations in the antislavery

movements had been read and adopted. Then I arose and assured the

audience, that if my document which I had prepared for that occasion,

would be read, they could comprehend that those resolutions would be for

no use, and that better means have been providentially prepared for the

redemption of slaves by co-operation of slaveholders themselves, if

anti-slavery champions would study to know those means and make use of

them. The chairman Gerrit Smith asked the audience, whether my document

should be read. The majority answered "Yes." He asked the votes of those

who would be against its reading. Some voices were heard, that it should

not be read. And the chairman Smith said: "Smolnikar, you have lost the

floor." He was right, if the Convention was ruled by those who had made

the resolutions and by their colleagues. And I said, that if they would

not receive light, they should continue in darkness, and I left

directly. At length rapping spirits broke out and had great influence in

his house, because he shut his eyes, when light has been offered to him

from the spirit of truth by our mediumships. I tried in different times

to move our friend Gerrit Smith to study our message and the credentials

of our mission. But deluding and destroying spirits drew him in other

directions. At length A.D. 1854 I tried particularly to move the

Congress of the United States to appoint a Convention in which I

promised to exhibit the means to deliver this country from monarchial

influence and to establish the promised universal Republic of Truth,

Justice and Peace on earth, and the credentials of our mission, and I

applied to a number of congressmen in both Houses to bring the subject

before their respective bodies. At length, when all others had neglected

to fulfil this their highest duty, I applied to Hon. Gerrit Smith, who

was at that time in the House of Representatives.

I mention strange things; but they will not appear strange, if readers

keep in mind, that I represent the body of messengers, who are

collectively called the third angel in REVEL. xiv: 9. In this book I

give on many subjects only hints; otherwise I should have to write also

a large volume of wonders and signs which happened, while I was trying

in that year President Pierce and members of the cabinet and the

congress. But if editors of the Tribune wish besides what I offered in

the first treatise to show regarding their pet Fremont, that they might

commence to be sober in forwarding candidates for high offices, I would

like to write also an other article comparing Hon. Gerrit Smith with

Senator Seward and to publish what happened while I was trying both in

Washington City; because at that our trial it was in an extraordinary

mariner made manifest, that although Gerrit Smith was badly chained by

the spirit of delusion, Senator Seward was found much more chained than

Gerrit Smith. On this account our leaders moved me at the last campaign

of candidates for governor of the State of New York, A.D. 1858, and I

was acting in my mission in that State, while Gerrit Smith was

proclaimed candidate by his party so that I wrote to him, what he had to

do, to be favored by our leaders in his course for a high office;

because the time has at length arrived in which our leaders will

commence to show publicly, how they have the power to interfere in the

election business of officers. And then candidates for offices and

officers will commence to see the necessity of studying our message and

the credentials for our mission, to become with us messengers of Peace,

and people will commence to abhor electing such as are so degraded, that

they are not prepared to study the Heavenly message made manifest for

the redemption of oppressed humanity and the establishment of the

promised universal Republic. But how until now those who have been

solemnly warned by us, to do what they as professing to be Republicans

and occupying high offices, were particularly bound to do, have

neglected to fulfil their highest duty, we will show with few instances,

that those who will be named, might arise from death to life, and all

readers might be inspired for co-operation with us, since Providence is

instructing mankind by so remarkable cases, as are the following:

At the commencement of the year 1856 I arrived in Columbus, Ohio, and

endeavored to move the Republican anti-slavery Governor Chase and the

Republican Party which was the strongest in the legislature of Ohio, to

co-operation with us to establish the universal Republic of Peace on

earth. For this purpose I wrote "an address to the legislature and the

citizens of Ohio" and sent the manuscript with an urgent recommendation

to Governor Chase, that he after having perused the manuscript might

forward it with his recommendation to the legislature of Ohio. In my

manuscript or my written address to the legislature as many testimonies

of our mission were mentioned as would have been sufficient to move a

man who has discernment in spiritual things, for co-operation with us.

But the Governor, after having perused my manuscript in which I urged

the legislature by virtue of the memorable events which have been

mentioned in it, to appoint a monthly theological course, to which

qualified persons would be invited to hear the explanation of my

manuscript which contains the system for the foundation of the universal

Republic, and for the commencement of the New Era called the millennium,

said when he returned it to me, that he was not the proper person to

forward the manuscript to the legislature. I do not know, whether he

would have entered into a discussion of the matter, if I had offered him

to show, that he was not only the proper person, but that it was his

most urgent duty to forward my address to the legislature. I thought

that he in his new highest office of that State was too much distracted

and was not prepared for our extraordinary business. Wherefore I sent

that same address which was directed to the legislature of Ohio, to the

speaker in the House, and instructed him in an extra letter of his duty,

to forward my address to the House. But he belonged to the Republican

Party and had no capacity for what was needed to establish the true

Republic of Harmony and Peace on earth, and could not be moved to do,

what was shown to him to be most necessary in his circumstances. He

returned my address. From him I went to the Lieutenant Governor or

speaker in the Senate. He belonged to the American. Party and by his

application the Senate appointed a committee for examining my document.

In that committee was a member of the Republican Party, who assured his

colleagues, that he knew me, that I was a madman, having come from

Geauga County in which I held a Convention in the year 1851.

Notwithstanding the most malicious conspiracy of the Sectarian

neighborhood we succeeded so far, that a number of resolutions in which

I have concentrated what has been explained in the Convention for the

commencement of the millennium, have been unanimously adopted, and then

published with other documents for an easier understanding of the

resolutions. But materialists, papists and other sectarians, instead of

having reflected upon the unexpected glorious news made manifest in that

pamphlet and put them into circulation, did all in their power that the

largest portion of copies of that pamphlet and the man to whom they have

been given in care, disappeared, and the calumny was put into

circulation, that I became mad. And when that same calumny was renewed

in the Senate chamber of Ohio, I wrote a resolution, to be offered to

that body. But members of the Senate became so scared, that I could find

nobody, to undertake to offer it to the Senate. I wished by that

resolution to move the Senate to give me their chamber for a lecture, in

which I wished to explain the madness of those who instead of studying

our disclosures for Harmony and Peace of nations, are slandering and

calumniating me, and ruining this country and preparing it more and more

to become a spoil to enrich monarchs and their agents.

Then I published that address and other documents which I supposed,

would be strong enough to move the legislature and other citizens of

Ohio to send qualified persons to the monthly theological course, which

was appointed in that pamphlet.

Here we must extract passages from the last page for a great lesson to

Republicans and others that they might not be duped any longer by the

blind leaders of the blind. That page contains "a great appeal to the

Governor, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Ohio."

It was written, mark well, on the 2d day of February, as is mentioned on

that 32d page as well, as on the pages 31 and 29; because on the 29th

page I commenced to write a paragraph as follows: "I had to wait till

the composition of this epistle advanced so far, that I must finish it

on this 2d day of February" &c. On that day I wrote what follows from

that passage to the end of the pamphlet. And the "great appeal" reads:

"Fellow laborers in the great cause of human redemption! If you have

studied this pamphlet with such attention as it deserves to be studied

you will accept this title with gratitude to the Most High, that he has

chosen us in his mercy for the accomplishment of the most glorious

promises".... "The first most urgent work" (which the legislature of

Ohio in those circumstances could do) "is to kindle with this pamphlet a

light in the Cabinet and the Congress of the United States. 'And Babylon

is become a habitation of demons.' REVEL. xviii: 2. The fall of Babylon

has been proclaimed by my instrumentality for the fulfilment of the

first three verses of the 18th chapter of the REVELATION, on Easter

Sunday, 1838, under the direction of the powerful angel, who was sent

from the Heavenly Congress. And since that proclamation, the habitation

of demons on every place of Babylon, on which my message is rejected, is

made manifest ... and the numbers of votes which members of the House of

Representatives were casting since my first publication of the

'testimony for the superabundance of miracles,' which is reprinted on

the 9th and 10th pages of this pamphlet, are testifying, from which

quarters of pitfalls and deep holes the demons came who took possesion

of the Capitol at the present session.... On this 2nd day of February in

my Country Roman Catholic men and women bring each his own candle into

the church and burn them" &c.

I quoted these passages, written on the 2d day of Feb., which was

Saturday, and given on the same day to the printer; because I had an

engagement on the next following day in the country and left Columbus on

that Saturday, Feb, 2d 1856. When I returned on the next following week

from the country, I heard that on that same day February 2d, 1856, the

House of Representatives finished at length their voting for speaker and

that Nathanael Banks was elected Speaker in the House. There is a spirit

language by numbers. Representatives in the House were casting votes

from the time in which my article "Testimony for the superabundance of

miracles" appeared in two newspapers of Cleveland and was then copied in

my pamphlet for the legislature of Ohio, to make use of it for the

conversion of the Congress in Washington; because I saw, whenever I

looked the numbers of votes cast to elect the speaker, that members of

the parties casting votes were under a strong Papal Imperial Royal

delusion. When I wrote the above quoted passages on the 2nd day of

February, 1856, I did not know, that at that same time they finished

their voting with Nathanael Banks as speaker in the House. Nathanael

means a "gift of God." And the name Banks was prophetical for what

followed then in regard to the Banks; because this generation could

receive no more suitable gift than Banks are. There is not only in

numbers but also in names and in manifold other correspondences a spirit

language which we understand; and in this our mission events connected

with our steps testify the condition in which those are, who neglect to

make use of our message of Peace. The Governor and the legislature of

Ohio did not care about our urgent appeal made to them in writing and in

print, and the same time in Washington the name of Banks announced the

terrible condition of this same country founding their trust in banks

and paper-money, which will be eventually made manifest with a terrible

crash.

After that experience made at the Republican Legislature of Ohio, in

which we could not find assistance for the circulation of our message of

Peace, and for holding our monthly theological course, I remained in

Ohio, till I heard Governor Chase in a campaign for candidate Fremont

assert with great boldness, that he knew Fremont. I did not know Fremont

at that time. But after having studied as much as was required to know

him, I pitied Governor Chase and other Republicans very much, that they

either by ignorance of matters or by preferring private interest to the

common welfare, should have ruined the country and destroyed an enormous

amount of human life and property, so that the Kansas affairs alone cost

more than fifty millions of dollars. All the evils would have been

avoided, if Hon. Giddings and his co-operators who have been most

urgently invited to attend the above mentioned Convention which was held

in their vicinity in the year 1851, had not despised our invitation.

But at that time matters had not arrived to that maturity in which they

are now. And we write and mention some champions and leaders of parties,

that they themselves and by their instrumentality many others might be

awakened from their lethargy and attend at length our monthly

theological course the appointment of which they will find at the end of

this book, and learn that which is most needed for the support of the

true Republican, or what is the same, true Christian against the

monarchial cause.

I have sent to speaker Banks a copy of the pamphlet, from the last page

of which I have quoted above some passages, on which page there is the

admirable correspondence of the governor and the legislature of Ohio

with his election for speaker. But I think, that other trifling business

did hinder Mr. Banks' comprehending wonders and signs contained in that

pamphlet, and that he did not study it so deep as to comprehend the

correspondence of the contents of the last page of said pamphlet with

his election for speaker on the same day on which I wrote that page. In

this book is no room to explain the language by numbers; but we may

generally observe, that the election took place under the spell of the

Papel Imperial Royal spirits; and it was said, that it did not happen,

till a Roman catholic priest came into the House of Representatives and

performed his prayer. Whether that report was true or not, is is not my

business to investigate; but it is true, that the spell was taken away,

when I in my application to the governor and the legislature of Ohio

wrote on the last page of the above quoted pamphlet: "You are requested

to cast so many copies of this pamphlet in the Cabinet and Congress of

Washington, and also into the legislature of each State, as are required

to kindle a great light everywhere." Reference is made to the

"Candle-mass," as the feast of the 2d February is called. It is Mary's

purification and Christ's presentation in the temple; and that our

reference to the casting of votes for the speaker in the House of the

United States destroyed the spell and they agreed at length in the

prophetical name Banks, with which there was already great trouble, and

the greater troubles will follow the longer nations delay to apply our

remedies against the manifold enormous evils with which nations are

harrassed and ruined. I made some acquaintance with Governor Banks after

my last arrival in Boston in Nov. 1858. I found proper to write to him a

lengthy letter in which I assured him, that if he would become a great

supporter of the true Republican cause, he would need[Q] some private

lessons to know what happened in our age for the introduction of the

universal Republic of Harmony and Peace; because without that knowledge

he in the present course of the Republican Party would contribute his

share not for Peace, but for revolutions and war. I offered in that

letter to give him some private lessons in his house, if he would wish

to receive them regarding our message of Peace and the credentials of

our mission, and I added, that in that season of short days and long

nights there would be at candle-light good opportunity for our lessons.

I went then to his house in Waltham, several miles from Boston. But on

that evening he had not yet returned from his office, and I was

informed, that on the next morning would be the best chance to speak

with him. I then went there but he had not much time to speak, because

he had to go to his office, and he invited me to see him in his office.

From that circumstance I concluded, that he did not keep in mind the

contents of my letter in which I assured him, that his office would not

be the proper place for our lessons, but that the night hours in his

house would suit best for our lessons; but then there was no time to

expostulate with him on this point. I started then for New Hampshire,

and at my return to Boston I wrote to him again, that I intended to see

him again, but not in his office which would not be the proper place for

our lessons, but in his house, that if he would be desirous to receive

lessons I would remain for some days in his village and give to him

lessons at candle-light. I came then to his village, and prepared one of

his acquaintances, a zealous spiritualist who appeared to comprehend

easier than other spiritualists! that Presidents, Governors and other

officers cannot save this Republic from the grasp of monarchs except by

the use of the spiritual weapons which are concentrated in my writings

for the commencement of the promised New Era and that Governor Banks to

use his influence for Harmony and Peace of all nations, had to take

lessons from me. When I thought, that the spiritualist partly by hearing

me partly by reading one of my pamphlets had understood the matter so

far as necessary to move the Governor to accept my proposition, he went

to see Governor Banks. But he returned with the message, that the

Governor had started for Hartford.

I could not stay longer in Waltham and understood from this circumstance

that Governor Banks was not the officer, who would commence to open the

door at the government for commencing the New Era. I thought that if he

would comprehend our message, by his instrumentality the Legislature of

Massachusetts and by their instrumentality the Congress of the United

States might be moved for using our spiritual weapons against the

anti-Republican powers, I heard in November 1858, in the night before

the election of the Governor and the congress members Governor Banks

deliver his speech in Chelsea City. He affirmed that he did not speak

for himself but for his friend Burlingame, that he might be re-elected

for Congress. I heard this same Burlingame haranguing against Buchanan

and for Fremont during the last Presidential campaign, and understood

that his speech was nothing else but a heap of "burly games." Mark well,

that in our meetings with remarkable persons, names are expressive, but

sometimes their signification is so hidden, that some letter is to be

changed, to be understood. The great heap of burly games spread in

newspapers and in public speeches against Buchanan instead of studying

our message of Peace and communicating it to President Buchanan to save

the country, prove nothing else except that this degraded generation are

preparing the way to such a tyranny as will destroy the largest part and

chain the remnant of the people in such a manner that no word will be

heard against the cruelty and tyranny which will keep them in slavery,

if they do not sooner open their eyes and make use of our message of

Peace. I thought[R], that if Governor Banks would be converted, he would

convert also his friend Burlingame and act through him in the congress.

I came after that in Boston, to the office of Governor Banks to see him

there; but I was told, that he was expected to be in half an hour in

the office. But instead of waiting at, or returning to the office, I was

told by my leader, that I had accomplished my mission in the State of

Massachusetts and was carried directly to other States.

Wonders and signs which have been given in Boston and Chelsea City near

Boston at that my visit there, are spoken of in the following treatise.

But before we finish this treatise, we should mention somewhat regarding

the Governor of New York in connexion with the Governors of Ohio and

Massachussetts. We do not take any interest in the campaign for

officers, except when we are directed by our leaders to give in this way

a great lesson to nations: as it was the case in the first treatise of

this book.

While I intended in Summer, 1858, to start from Philadelphia for the

West, I was directed by my leaders to New York. I arrived the same hour

in the City of New York, in which the laying of the Atlantic Cable had

been accomplished, and while spiritualists were rejoicing in a public

meeting at the success, in the supposition that the success was certain

and that it was a great blessing for the United States, I explained in

that meeting, that the success would be a great scourge for this

country, if people would not receive our message of Peace and convert

monarchs into true Republicans. My explanation was then confirmed by

signs. After the exchange of President Buchanan's message with the

message of Queen Victoria the use of the Atlantic Telegraph has been

suspended by invisible agency, and while the City of New York, the great

Babylon of the United States, was celebrating the first time the success

of the Atlantic Telegraph, the tower, the cupola and so much of the

interior of the building of the City Hall was destroyed, as could be

reached by fire. And at the second solemn celebration of the success of

the Atlantic Telegraph the whole Quarantine with numerous buildings was

destroyed by fire. The materialistic spectators who looked only on the

surface, were not aware of the interior agency. But in connexion with

these warning fires other signs were given testifying also in this

connexsion of matters the subjugation of this country by Papal Imperial

Royal or Monarchial spirits, while citizens of the United States are not

yet aware of. I wrote a peculiar treatise on those signs, which will be

published in due time. There was a coalescence of strange

correspondences, While the Queen of England was celebrating with Emperor

Napoleon the tremendous naval exhibition at Cobourgh, for the

subjugation of the world by monarchs, the laying of the Atlantic

Telegraph was accomplished and the President of the United States

exchanged the message with the Queen; and the destroying fires

accompanied the celebration of its success, till at length also the

Crystal Palace was consumed by fire; and the spirits who are subject to

Popish prelates and monks, announced the "Philanthropic Convention in

Utica," and the Archbishop of New-York laid the corner stone to his new

cathedral by the assistance of six suffragan bishops. All these in

connexion with other memorable events happened according to the spirit

language of the prophetical calendar, and I was directed to perform

corresponding memorable actions which are explained in this treatise,

and amongst those actions here I mention the trial of the three

candidates for the Governor's office of the State of New-York. I have

already remarked, that I wrote to Hon. Gerrit Smith after he had been

proclaimed candidate by his party. But when he was not ready to become

messenger of the New Era, I wrote then two lengthy articles, one to be

used by Judge Parker, the Democratic candidate, if he would receive our

message, and another to be used by the merchant Morgan, the candidate of

the Republican Party. I do not belong to any party, and I had only to

try spirits of the candidates for Governor in the State in which is the

concentration of all monarchial speculations, against which and for the

true Republican cause only that Governor could act with power, who would

have so much understanding in spiritual things as to comprehend the

substance of our message and of the credentials of our mission. Such a

man would be a blessing not only for his State, but for the whole

country. Both my articles have been written in a manner, that only that

Candidate could make use of the article prepared for his use, who would

be convinced of our mission, which I intended to explain to him

privately, if he would take an interest in my article.

Here follows only a synopsis of our trials of spirits at the two

candidates, to wit, the Democratic and the Republican for the office of

Governor in the State of New York.

According to the direction of our leaders I paid first my personal visit

to Judge Parker of Albany, Democratic Candidate. He appointed a certain

time for an interview in which he would be ready to read my writing and

hear what I had to say. But when I would return at the appointed time,

my leader interfered and said, that I had to try the spirits of merchant

Morgan of the City of New York, Candidate of the Republican Party.

Morgan appeared to be shrewd as I supposed him to be; because otherwise,

having commenced in poverty he would not have become a rich merchant.

When I mentioned my business with him, he replied that he had a

business, which he must attend in the city, and that his clerk who was

in that room, would settle my business with him; and he left the room.

Then I talked with his young clerk and mentioned my former charges and

my present charge, as far as he may have been able to bear, and that I

had with me a document which I had prepared for that campaign. I added,

that whereas I belong to no party, that candidate would be most

qualified for the Governor's office, who would comprehend my document

and make use of it. The clerk insisted, that I should go with my

document to the editors of the Tribune. But I replied, that my document

was not prepared for the Tribune, but to be studied and used by the

candidate himself. But the clerk remarked, that Mr. Morgan would not

have time to study it. And I said, that if Mr. Morgan would not have

time, I would go to Judge Parker; and I assured the Clerk, that if Judge

Parker would have time to study my document and to make use of it, he

would certainly become Governor. Then the clerk was moved, that he

appointed the hour of the next following day, in which I could speak

with Mr. Morgan. I came at the appointed hour; but Mr. Morgan spoke with

another man, and when he saw me, he went with his man in an other room.

In the mean time the clerk insisted, that I should go with my document

to the editors of the Tribune. I did not leave directly the room but was

waiting till Mr. Morgan dispatched his man. Then without speaking with

me a word he went to other business.

After that my experience I thought that in our dealings with material

men we must be provided with very tangeable arguments. I made shortly

before that trial acquaintance with a stubborn materialist in the City

of New York. He had great influence upon people of certan classes, and

had all his trust in weapons of iron to put down monarchs. I found him

accessible at the point of human magnetism and convinced him by degrees

so far, that he confessed that the weapons of the spirit were the right

weapons to overcome the monarchial powers. He was, when I made

acquaintance with him, running against Judge Parker. But I came after my

trial of Mr. Morgan to him, showing that Judge Parker was amongst the

three candidates the man who if he would comprehend our message of

Peace, would work powerfully for the true Republican cause. During my

explanation he was inspired to do all in his power for Judge Parker's

election, if the Judge should settle matters with me and pay the

expenses for what was to be published in German and in English circulars

from each position separately, to be put in circulation in all

directions of the State of New-York. That man gave me then in writing

the promise to excercise all his influence for Judge Parker's election,

if the Judge settles with me the matter.

It is to be repeated, that I according to my mission, am working not for

any pay or reward, but only for the great cause of my mission, satisfied

with simple food and raiment, which I get when needed, from those who

understand that I am working without pay for the great community of

mankind. The man who gave me the above mentioned written promise gave me

also money to pay my fare from New-York to Albany. I arrived there on a

Sunday morning, which was the best time for trying Judge Parker's

spirit. I explained to him briefly the reasons why I could not come at

the appointed time, without mentioning the invisible direction; because

I supposed that the Judge was not yet prepared to comprehend spiritual

things. But I insisted, that he, to secure his election, had to spend

that Sunday in studying my writings instead of going to church; for he

mentioned that I did not come the proper time to him, because he was

preparing to go in the church. I showed to him the title page of my

pamphlet; "Redemption of oppressed humanity! Christ's manifestation by

his messengers for the Abolition of all kinds of Popery." On that page

not only my former offices in Babylon are expressed, but also my present

office is mentioned, by virtue of, which I represent the messengers by

whom the promised New Era will be introduced. If he had read the title

page on which the substance of our message is concentrated and our

mission is expressed, with such attention as to comprehend it and to

reflect upon it, he could have understood, that to spend that Sunday

with me was exceedingly more important than to attend his sectarian

church. I repeated that to study my documents on that Sunday was most

important for him.

Two things seemed to deter him from receiving my advice. In the first

place he saw on the title page, that I, after having been eighteen years

Roman Catholic Priest, appeared in public for the abolition of all kinds

of Popery. He may have been afraid to scare Roman Catholics from voting

for him, if he would be in any connexion with me. I found not proper to

explain, that what I intended to publish in behalf of his election,

would not scare but strengthen Roman Catholics to vote for him, but

would scare many Republicans and Abolitionists to vote for their

candidates and would draw them to him. In the second place he seemed to

have been in the same opinion in which I found Democratic editors of

newspapers, who told me expressly that they were certain, that their

candidate would be Governor. When I found him not ready to study my

document on Sunday instead of going into his sectarian church, I did not

show him the writing of the champion who was determined to act under the

above mentioned condition for Judge Parker's election, but I reported

directly to that champion that which happened at my trial of Judge

Parker's spirits and I started straightways for the States of New

England.

Attentive readers of this treatise do comprehend, why in the cloud of

witnesses of our mission amongst the men and women of the so called

Republican Party I selected the three acting Governors, Hon. Chase of

Ohio, Banks of Mass, and Hon. Morgan of New York. They appear, because

they are Headmen of the three most dangerous States to the true

Republican cause. Those are the principal States from which there is

spread also into other States much zeal for freedom of nations without

knowledge of the means for the true freedom. This their zeal instead of

promoting the true Republican cause is promoting the cause of monarchs

and ruining this country. I could write much in connexion with these

three Governors for a warning example to all Governors and all other

officers; but these few hints may suffice, that all might know the

necessity to study our message of Peace, to promote in their offices the

true Democratic or true Republican cause and establish Peace on the

whole globe. There is a general hue raised by Republicans, that there is

great corruption at the Federal Government. There is in all parties and

sects a general and exceedingly great corruption; and we must repeat,

that those political and ecclesiastical heads who belong to the parties

of Abolitionists and Republicans, are the principal cause of the

horrible degradation and corruption, by which this country is ruined;

because since the time in which I commenced to urge the American nation

by English addresses and publications, my principal applications were

especially to those who profess to belong to the parties of Republicans

and Abolitionists. If they had studied our message of Peace and had

applied the remedy which is comprehended in it against all kinds of

degradation and corruption, we would have seen several years ago the

fruits of our work. But when they in their degradation and corruption,

instead of having received our message of Peace, did all in their power

to stop it, as I have shown, instead of hundreds of instances of our

experience only by the remarkable specimen of the Utica Philanthropic

Convention, they are to be regarded as the principal cause of such awful

warnings, as a specimen was given on Sunday Sexagesima, February 27th

1859, on the President's Square of Washington by the executive power of

our leader who has REVEL. xiv:14 a sickle in his hand, and will make use

of "sickles" to sweep away the scoundrels and corruptors of females.

Their abominations will come to day-light in this "Judgment

Dispensation," when the criminals will least expect. The farther you

proceed in reading and understanding this book, the more light you will

receive in regard to the inner life of man and to the world of spirits,

to know the secret enemies of true Republicanism, and how to stop the

degradation and corruption, by which Republic is destroyed and monarchy

or tyranny is established.

We have selected in the first treatise such facts as should inspire

every reader and especially Democrats for co-operation with us, and the

facts made public in this treatise, should move especially the parties

of Abolitionists and Republicans. We will see, whether President

Buchanan's friends or the heads of his opposition will hear sooner the

voice of our master made manifest by our mediumship for Harmony and

Peace of all nations, and awaken not only the Government of the United

States but also other governments from their lethargy.

Human degradation and corruption having been sheltered under the cloak

of virtue, and under the specious name of "Free Love" careless males and

female having been ruined in body and soul, peculiar opportunity was

given us to close this treatise with a brief report on "a treatise on

the second coming of Christ. By John H. Noyes, Putney, Vt. 1840,"

because that treatise was handed to me on this 19th day of March, while

I am travelling through Cumberland County, Pa. and by what happened at

the reception of that treatise I was aware, that a brief report would

suit best for closing this our treatise. On the 29th page of that

treatise we read; "Now Swedenborg preached that the second coming of

Christ took place in 1757, and that he was himself an eye witness of the

transaction. Ann Lee, the mother of the Shakers, preached that the

second coming took place in 1770, and that Christ made his appearance

in her person. Many similar proclamations have been made from time to

time, along the whole period of Christian history, and especially since

the Reformation. The latest of this fashion that has come to our notice,

is Professor Andreas Bernardus Smolnikar, who teaches that Christ

appeared in 1836, and appointed him 'Ambassador Extraordinary'" (Mr.

Noyes quotes as his authority "Signs of the times," No. 12. p. 95. Then

he continues his tale as follows:) "of all these we may say fearlessly,

as Paul says, 'though they be Angels from Heaven, let them be accursed'

they have denied the word of God--together with these, another class of

visionaries and impostors, less presumptuous, but equally foolish, may

be noticed. We refer to those who either by pretended revelation, or by

interpretation, have undertaken, from time to time within the last few

centuries, to prophesy of the near approach of the second advent. The

latest and most notable specimen of this class, is William Miller, who

at this time, is confidently proclaiming, 1843 is the appointed year of

the second coming."

I would not have noticed "Noyes's treaties," if it had not been

unexpectedly handed to me, when I came, while I thought I was going into

the house of a man with whom I was acquainted, to his brother whom I did

not know until yesterday, when I came against my expectation to him. He

commenced to tell that he had a pamphlet in which Mr. Noyes speaks about

me. Then he has shown the above quoted passage in Noyes's pamphlet. But

I did not yet think to take notice of it, till at length he has brought

this morning the pamphlet to his brother-in-law, with whom I stopped

last night, and I found proper to quote the passage and to write this

edition for the conclusion of this treatise. But the quoted passage is

in such connexions and correspondences, that in a new large treatise I

could not explain them. Here we can report only the following items.

In the year 1840, on Easter Saturday, my third German volume of

"memorable events" issued from the press. Those three volumes exhibit

the "magnetic chain" of events to bind the dragon or serpant, the image

of the spirit of delusion and destruction, who inspires such

"extraordinary ambassadors", as John H. Noyse is. That he belongs to

those deceivers who have deluded those who belong to the Anti-slavery

and Republican Parties, and are opposed to our message of Peace, is

evident by the circumstance, that I commenced this treatise with the

three angels or ambassadors or messengers of the 14th chapter of the

REVEL., the 3d amongst whom commences his message in the 9th verse of

that chapter. I mentioned that each of those angels or messengers

represents a body or society of messengers, and that Dr. Bengel has

pointed out in the first part of the last century, that Christ will be

made manifest about the year 1836; but that neither Dr. Bengel nor any

other man did know the manner in which he was to be made manifest, till

it was disclosed by the 3d Angel REVEL. xiv: 9, or the representative of

angels or ambassadors or messengers by whom the contents of the prophecy

xiv. 9, 10, 11, must be fulfilled. Interpreters did not understand many

other things nor those verses till they may read their explanation in my

above quoted three German volumes. I do not recollect, how I did entitle

that my address; but it did not contain 95 pages nor was it published in

several numbers, so that I did not know what those "signs of the times"

were, to which Noyse has reference, except that Joshuah Himes, the head

of the Millerite imposition was publishing at that time a paper,

entitled "Signs of the Times," and since he announced, that he would

publish also such views regarding Christ's coming, which were not in

accordance with the views of his sect, I expected to open the door to

the circulation of our message of Peace through that paper. I wrote

therefore a preparatory article, in which I touched only such matters as

that sect of adventurists could bear. And that my article was published

in that paper. But when I offered the second article which touched

nearer the Millerites' absurdities and follies, expecting Christ on the

clouds and other paraphernalia, he refused to publish it, and is yet

deceiving his disciples, although in the year 1840 opportunity was given

to Millerites, to come out from their dreadful delusion. Whether Joshuah

Himes was the first who misrepresented in so dreadful a manner our

message[S], or Noyse perverted what the other deceiver published, they

may decide; because the other is also a dreadful deceiver, who had

opportunity to communicate to his readers our disclosures concerning

Christ's Coming, but he refused to publish our article. But to the

conclusion of this treatise Noyse belongs.

On the 5th of January, 1837, at 5 o'clock P.M. I received from a

Heavenly messenger the order to prepare for starting to America. But at

that time I did not know more than that in this country preparations

were to be made for establishing the promised peaceable reign of Christ

on earth. But my extraordinary mission commenced to be made manifest

after the events which happened A.D. 1838 in connexion with my mission

and which are explained in my above mentioned three German volumes.

Instead of having studied those volumes and then reported accordingly,

there came such ambassadors of darkness as we have here a specimen of

John H. Noyse. Greater impudence could not be expected than to write

about me without having studied my books in which I have published what

should have been translated from the German also In other languages. In

the third volume it is shown, where Swedenborg, Wm. Miller and others

stand, who wrote before me on the second Coming of Christ. But before I

undertook to write about their standing, I read their books; then I have

shown, how parties and sects, each in their own way have given testimony

to our mission. The principal of those parties have been mentioned in my

third volume, which was published A.D. 1840. But John H. Noyse and his

sect were not at that time so famous as to having been brought to my

notice. At length a "noise" of his existence came to me in the following

manner:

About the year 1844, while I had business in New York. Theophilus Gates

came to me after having read an address of mine in which I urged readers

to co-operate for establishing a centre of our work. T. Gates spoke

about a certain point persuading me to adopt it for a sure success in

establishing our centre. I said, that I did not know, whether I

understood him correctly or not. Therefore I would read if he had

published anything on that subject and then I would talk with him about

it. Then he brought to me his pamphlet, entitled: "the Battle Axe," in

which he endeavored to prove "the free love doctrine" by the Bible as

well as by authorities of this time. His greatest authority was a letter

of this same John H. Noyse.

I gave a great lesson to Th. Gates who was ruining people by his

infernal doctrine; but he did not digest my lesson. Then I made

acquaintance with some John H. Noyse's disciples and asked them, how

their leader became so blind as to support the damnable doctrine which

opens the door to all kinds of lasciviousness, adultery and fornication,

which ruins people and is diametrically opposed to the spirit of the New

Testament. His disciples said, that he wrote that letter in a haste, and

that it was published against his intention, and that he retracted his

view expressed in that letter. Then I attended a meeting of

Perfectionists in Newark, N.J. Some of them were with Noyse, others were

against his supporting the Free Love doctrine. I addressed the audience.

Then I was invited to dinner by a Perfectionist who did not belong to

Noyse's Party. I was asked by my host, whether I did read or not, what

appeared shortly before that in Noyse's "Perfectionist" against me.

After my negative answer he gave me the number containing Noyse's

article against me. I took it to the meeting which was appointed on the

same Sunday afternoon and read that article at the meeting and explained

Noyse's misrepresentations of the contents of my article to which

reference was made in Noyse's article, and remarked that it was

possible, that Mr. Noyse did not make purposely but only in haste those

misrepresentations, and that in the case that he is a friend of Truth,

he would retract what he had published misrepresenting my statements. I

added, that in this case I would like to see him and converse personally

with him about the matter. One of his disciples said that Noyse was a

man ready to receive truth, and that he wished to go with me to Mr.

Noyse and to bear travelling expenses. We started and took also another

friend of Mr. Noyse with us. At our arrival we were cordially received,

till Mr. Noyse heard my name. At that moment he was entirely changed,

took his friends into his room, while I remained on the porch. He spoke

with them so loud, that I heard every word, while he reproached to them,

that they took me with them. It was nearly dinner time, and I found

proper not to speak about our case, till we would be together in his

Printing Office. It happened soon after dinner. I said that those who

were present, were Mr. Noyse's friends, but that I expected, that they

were for truth, and that also Noyse will correct the errors and

misrepresentations which he has published regarding my mission and

regarding my statements in my article, to which he had reference in his

article. But Mr. Noyse pertinaciously denied to have misrepresented my

statements. I had in my pocket the number of the paper containing my

article and that number of the Perfectionist in which my publication has

been misrepresented. I read corresponding passages from both, and asked

the witnesses, whether Noyse's report contained the same sense as my

report. All his friends remained silent; but he continued to be

obdurate, and repeated in the most impudent manner, that he did not

misrepresent my statements. I did know nothing until yesterday about his

having misrepresented as early as 1840 my doctrine regarding Christ's

coming and slandered and calumniated me already in that year. And when I

met four or five years after that personally with him in his Printing

Office about our business, he appeared as the most stubborn infallible

Pope, affirming with the most impudent affront, that what he published

against me, was true. But some bystanders commenced to cry: "Snake!

snake! snake!" pointing out of the door of the Printing Office in a

distance from the door to see what it was. There was a very large snake

marching from a distance directly towards us and towards the door of the

Printing Office, and went, in spite of the men gazing it, under the

threshold, and sheltered its self under the floor of the Printing

Office. It was most singular, that the devil, that means calumniator, by

whom the snake was possessed, magnetized so the witnesses, that none of

them took an instrument to kill the snake, although he could have easily

reached one for this purpose in the Printing Office. After having been

all so baffled, I said to Mr. Noyse, that the snake or the dragon is the

Holy Ghost who comes from the depth of his Printing Office and inspires

his readers with such infernal delusion, as appeared in his

"Perfectionist" against my mission, and I left directly his place.

The man who has brought me to Mr. Noyse, left soon after that spectacle

his own wife, a good natured woman, and went with another "Lady" to

unknown regions. And Noyse left, not long after that that place, and

founded in the State of New York, the Oneida community, in which his

followers professed publicly and published their Free Love doctrine, and

put it in practice in that community and elsewhere, when they had

opportunity to deceive and ruin the incautious, abusing the Bible in the

most horrible manner and anathematizing the true messengers of God. Such

imposters must also give testimony to our mission in a manner convenient

to their position, as I have given at the close of this treatise some

hints, although I could write a volume of memorable events connected

with John H. Noyse's "Perfectionist" and confirming the given hints. But

this treatise being already weighty, we do not need to add an

explanation, why our leaders were pleased to furnish Noyse's pamphlet to

give occasion to these solemn warnings with which we close this

treatise, which should be thankfully received from our directors by all

parties and especially by Abolitionists and Republicans and by all kinds

of Perfectionists and Spiritualists of the last fashion, who are by the

abomination, called Free Love, so stupified, that they cannot comprehend

our message, although they pretend to be Reformers. But those who will

become true Reformers, must come on our ground according to the plan

made public in the last treatise of this book by your sincere brother

Andrew B. Smolnikar, "extraordinary Ambassador" for the introduction of

the New Era of Harmony and Peace.
