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.
