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.
