their ecclesiastical and political representatives might judge, each for
himself, whether we have received or not received the commission and
the credentials of our mission for the introduction of the promised new
era of harmony and peace amongst all nations. A Latin convention for
this purpose was first appointed in the City of New-York A.D. 1849,
and the Archbishop of Baltimore was urged by our Latin manuscript
Epistle and English printed circular, to move the whole synod of
bishops who met at that time in Baltimore, to attend our Latin
convention, and those who could not attend it themselves to send the
most qualified Theologians to attend it. And John Hughes bishop of
New-York, was particularly exhorted, that he, as bishop of the place of
the convention, was principally bound to bring his Theologians to said
convention. But when all my endeavoring to move bishops as well as
the government of the United States to send able Latin scholars to
attend said convention, did not move them to do so, I translated at
length that manuscript into German and into English, and appointed
conventions in those languages. But I could not move such as have
great influence at the government, to attend those conventions, and then
to commence with power the New Era. Therefore I thought, that a trial
should be made, whether the United States or the representative of the
government of France would comprehend sooner, that nothing in the
world could bring greater glory in this life and in all eternity, than the
work to examine or order that our message of peace be examined by the
best judges of this matter, and be applied for the introduction of the
new era. In the hope that Emperor Napoleon would comprehend the
great mission which was offered to him in our message, I wrote to his
ambassador at Washington, suggesting to the Emperor, that I was ready

to come as a citizen of the United States to Paris, to exhibit the
credentials which are signs according to prophecies, testifying our
mission to move the governments of this world, to establish Christ's
peaceable reign or the universal republic of truth and justice, harmony
and peace. I expected that the time for the abolition of severe
judgments, the principal executor of which is Emperor Napoleon, was
expiring.
Not having room in this treatise for any explanation of points which I
mention, I show here one of the general tokens, by which the severity
of judgments may be measured, to wit, the armies of soldiers, to keep
nations in bondage and to defend them against inimical neighbours.
The greater in proportion to the number of people, the number of
soldiers is, the severer is the judgement. When soldiers shall not be
needed, and those who are soldiers, will take up occupations beneficial
to mankind, the perfect victory of Christ against the dragon will be
celebrated. And if all governments of a christian name would
understand to-day our true christian message of peace, they could give
directly to those who are soldiers, true christian occupations; and
heathens could be soon converted into true christians. While Emperor
Napoleon was gathering together warriors and provisions for the great
war against Russia, we offered him the best opportunity to be the first
of those who should commence the New Era. Whether he had received
from his ambassador in Washington D.C. our offer or not, he may tell
for himself; because I have received no answer, although I have offered
to the ambassador himself, that although I was ready to go to Paris and
show there in our Latin convention to all bishops of the French Empire
my mission, which is also the mission of my fellow laborers, and the
credentials of our mission, I would visit the ambassador himself and
give him as many evidences of this great truth as would be abundantly
sufficent for him, to recommend with all his energy our offer to the
Emperor, if the ambassador would write to me and call me to
Washington. Instead of an answer from the ambassador to my
proposition for the true christian triumph of France and for the
pacification of the world we have received at length the tremendous
answer which has occasioned this my treatise. Here is not the place for
an investigation, whether people of "the Latin Race" in Europe and

America or others are the principal people who commit the crimes with
which citizens of the United States are charged. To the article in the
number of the Democrat from which I have quoted some passages, a
list of bankruptcies is annexed, which took place in the United States in
the years 1857 and 1858. A.D. 1857 the total number of bankruptcies is
4932; and A.D. 1858, 4235. It would be of great consequence,
