Secret Enemies of True Republicanism | Page 2

Human Redemption, have deceived others in regard to our mission; and
I have been abused, slandered and persecuted, and have suffered more
than a man could willingly bear for his fellow men, without being
supported by Higher Powers. This support has brought me on the
ground where I stand, and on which they shall arrive who will study
this book with understanding[D], and then act accordingly.
This book is divided into several treatises, which are so connected that
every reader in order to comprehend the unexpected developments for
the introduction of the promised New Era, must study them in the order
in which they appear. While studying in this manner, if the contents of
some passage appear to him not only unexpected, but also very
improbable, he will receive more light upon them in the continuation of
studying this book, till at length that which appeared at the first view
improbable, will be made manifest to him to be a great truth, and he
will become our zealous fellow labourer in the great mission for the
accomplishment of the greatest Promises to the Human race. I write in
the expectation, that my brethren and sisters, after having perused this
book, will comprehend their calling and act accordingly with their
sincere servant.

Remark:

I wrote this preface in the expectation of soon finding in Washington
means for publishing this book. But I had to wait, till at length the war
in Italy commenced. Therefore readers are requested to study what they
must know to stop Revolutions and Wars and to commence the New
Era of Harmony and Peace.

FIRST TREATISE.

Louis Napoleon, according to a severe divine judgment Emperor of
France, and James Buchanan, according to the merciful divine
benignity President of the United States.
On the 27th January, 1859, while I was ready to start from Philadelphia,
a messenger said, that on that day an article appeared in the German
Democrat of that city for my use, and handed to me the number
containing that article, from which we translate the following passages:
"A pamphlet of the famous Mr. Belly, directed to Emperor Napoleon
III, was announced in Paris on all corners of the streets with very large
letters, under the inscription
NAPOLEON AND BUCHANAN.
"Whereas nothing can be published in Paris without the permission of
the Imperial censorship, it is supposed, that Mr. Belly acted according
to a superior order to arouse the public opinion against the United
States. The President's message gives the pretext for it. The United
States are represented as deadly enemies of the whole Latin Race and
of the monarchies of Europe, which must fall to their feet, if that race
does not commence a crusade against the heretics, and take the sword
against the pirates, thieves and bankrupts of the United States."
Not having the original of the pamphlet and giving the following
passages in a free translation from the German translation which
appeared in the above quoted number of the Democrat, I may be

excused by those who have the French pamphlet at hand, if they should
find any deviation from it. Monsieur Belly writes besides other things
also:
"The longing of the United States for Cuba and Mexico has not only
the tendency to enlarge their territory and their interests, but they act
besides this, according to a principle, which is diametrically opposite to
that of France; they do not care about any civilization beyond their
frontier; they have made alliance with all who are filled with hatred
against the European politics. When the Democratic Republic obtains
the supremacy in the new world, all empires and kingdoms in the world
will become inimical to its interests and therefore it will be consequent
and necessary to destroy them either by art or by force.... Our
commerce, our industry will be compelled to obey instead of being the
rulers, and the discovery of the new world will lead to the remarkable
result of having occasioned the death of the old.
"The Catholic sovereigns constituted by God and by their subjects, are
obliged to introduce such circumstances as to carry into execution their
legitimate claims. And those who have been elected by a band without
discipline, by bankrupts and thieves, dare to declare publicly, that the
hour has come for these thieves and bankrupts to attack the civilized
world! are we not as much devoted to the truth, as they are to the lie?
We should not delay to promote our system of salvation, while we are
discussing their system of perdition. And whereas they are elevating
the crime to their religion with more energy than we do our holy
religion, while we appear to surrender it, we will henceforth extol the
cross and draw the sword,
