for the tremendous war with Russia; and I wrote a document
to his ambassador in Washington, showing that if Emperor
Napoleon would be truly great in this and in all future
ages, and truly happy in all eternity, he instead
of preparations for war with Russia, should call all
bishops of his Empire to a Latin convention with me
in Paris. In that convention my manuscript which
I wrote A.D. 1849, in Latin and in which I concentrated
the system or the magnetic chain to bind the Dragon,
Revel. xx. 2, who deludes Emperors and Kings to
keep people in bondage so that when they break their
bonds they are as the wildest beasts killing till
they are killed, should be examined and bishops and
their theologians should make any objection, but all
which they object they must object in writing, to
be then annexed to my manuscript and published with
my remarks in Latin and in translations, that nations
and 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.
