of votes for the speaker in the House of the United States destroyed the spell and they agreed at length in the prophetical name Banks, with which there was already great trouble, and the greater troubles will follow the longer nations delay to apply our remedies against the manifold enormous evils with which nations are harrassed and ruined.  I made some acquaintance with Governor Banks after my last arrival in Boston in Nov. 1858.  I found proper to write to him a lengthy letter in which I assured him, that if he would become a great supporter of the true Republican cause, he would need[Q] some private lessons to know what happened in our age for the introduction of the universal Republic of Harmony and Peace; because without that knowledge he in the present course of the Republican Party would contribute his share not for Peace, but for revolutions and war.  I offered in that letter to give him some private lessons in his house, if he would wish to receive them regarding our message of Peace and the credentials of our mission, and I added, that in that season of short days and long nights there would be at candle-light good opportunity for our lessons.  I went then to his house in Waltham, several miles from Boston.  But on that evening he had not yet returned from his office, and I was informed, that on the next morning would be the best chance to speak with him.  I then went there but he had not much time to speak, because he had to go to his office, and he invited me to see him in his office.  From that circumstance I concluded, that he did not keep in mind the contents of my letter in which I assured him, that his office would not be the proper place for our lessons, but that the night hours in his house would suit best for our lessons; but then there was no time to expostulate with him on this point.  I started then for New Hampshire, and at my return to Boston I wrote to him again, that I intended to see him again, but not in his office which would not be the proper place for our lessons, but in his house, that if he would be desirous to receive lessons I would remain for some days in his village and give to him lessons at candle-light.  I came then to his village, and prepared one of his acquaintances, a zealous spiritualist who appeared to comprehend easier than other spiritualists! that Presidents, Governors and other officers cannot save this Republic from the grasp of monarchs except by the use of the spiritual weapons which are concentrated in my writings for the commencement of the promised New Era and that Governor Banks to use his influence for Harmony and Peace of all nations, had to take lessons from me.  When I thought, that the spiritualist partly by hearing me partly by reading one of my pamphlets had understood the matter so far as necessary to move the Governor to accept my proposition, he went to see Governor Banks.  But he returned with the message, that the Governor had started for Hartford.
