While I intended in Summer, 1858, to start from Philadelphia for the West, I was directed by my leaders to New York.  I arrived the same hour in the City of New York, in which the laying of the Atlantic Cable had been accomplished, and while spiritualists were rejoicing in a public meeting at the success, in the supposition that the success was certain and that it was a great blessing for the United States, I explained in that meeting, that the success would be a great scourge for this country, if people would not receive our message of Peace and convert monarchs into true Republicans.  My explanation was then confirmed by signs.  After the exchange of President Buchanan’s message with the message of Queen Victoria the use of the Atlantic Telegraph has been suspended by invisible agency, and while the City of New York, the great Babylon of the United States, was celebrating the first time the success of the Atlantic Telegraph, the tower, the cupola and so much of the interior of the building of the City Hall was destroyed, as could be reached by fire.  And at the second solemn celebration of the success of the Atlantic Telegraph the whole Quarantine with numerous buildings was destroyed by fire.  The materialistic spectators who looked only on the surface, were not aware of the interior agency.  But in connexion with these warning fires other signs were given testifying also in this connexsion of matters the subjugation of this country by Papal Imperial Royal or Monarchial spirits, while citizens of the United States are not yet aware of.  I wrote a peculiar treatise on those signs, which will be published in due time.  There was a coalescence of strange correspondences, While the Queen of England was celebrating with Emperor Napoleon the tremendous naval exhibition at Cobourgh, for the subjugation of the world by monarchs, the laying of the Atlantic Telegraph was accomplished and the President of the United States exchanged the message with the Queen; and the destroying fires accompanied the celebration of its success, till at length also the Crystal Palace was consumed by fire; and the spirits who are subject to Popish prelates and monks, announced the “Philanthropic Convention in Utica,” and the Archbishop of New-York laid the corner stone to his new cathedral by the assistance of six suffragan bishops.  All these in connexion with other memorable events happened according to the spirit language of the prophetical calendar, and I was directed to perform corresponding memorable actions which are explained in this treatise, and amongst those actions here I mention the trial of the three candidates for the Governor’s office of the State of New-York.  I have already remarked, that I wrote to Hon. Gerrit Smith after he had been proclaimed candidate by his party.  But when he was not ready to become messenger of the New Era, I wrote then two lengthy articles, one to be used by Judge Parker, the Democratic candidate, if he would receive our message, and another to be used by the
