I could not stay longer in Waltham and understood from this circumstance that Governor Banks was not the officer, who would commence to open the door at the government for commencing the New Era.  I thought that if he would comprehend our message, by his instrumentality the Legislature of Massachusetts and by their instrumentality the Congress of the United States might be moved for using our spiritual weapons against the anti-Republican powers, I heard in November 1858, in the night before the election of the Governor and the congress members Governor Banks deliver his speech in Chelsea City.  He affirmed that he did not speak for himself but for his friend Burlingame, that he might be re-elected for Congress.  I heard this same Burlingame haranguing against Buchanan and for Fremont during the last Presidential campaign, and understood that his speech was nothing else but a heap of “burly games.”  Mark well, that in our meetings with remarkable persons, names are expressive, but sometimes their signification is so hidden, that some letter is to be changed, to be understood.  The great heap of burly games spread in newspapers and in public speeches against Buchanan instead of studying our message of Peace and communicating it to President Buchanan to save the country, prove nothing else except that this degraded generation are preparing the way to such a tyranny as will destroy the largest part and chain the remnant of the people in such a manner that no word will be heard against the cruelty and tyranny which will keep them in slavery, if they do not sooner open their eyes and make use of our message of Peace.  I thought[R], that if Governor Banks would be converted, he would convert also his friend Burlingame and act through him in the congress.  I came after that in Boston, to the office of Governor Banks to see him there; but I was told, that he was expected to be in half an hour in the office.  But instead of waiting at, or returning to the office, I was told by my leader, that I had accomplished my mission in the State of Massachusetts and was carried directly to other States.

Wonders and signs which have been given in Boston and Chelsea City near Boston at that my visit there, are spoken of in the following treatise.  But before we finish this treatise, we should mention somewhat regarding the Governor of New York in connexion with the Governors of Ohio and Massachussetts.  We do not take any interest in the campaign for officers, except when we are directed by our leaders to give in this way a great lesson to nations:  as it was the case in the first treatise of this book.
