merchant Morgan, the candidate of the Republican Party.  I do not belong to any party, and I had only to try spirits of the candidates for Governor in the State in which is the concentration of all monarchial speculations, against which and for the true Republican cause only that Governor could act with power, who would have so much understanding in spiritual things as to comprehend the substance of our message and of the credentials of our mission.  Such a man would be a blessing not only for his State, but for the whole country.  Both my articles have been written in a manner, that only that Candidate could make use of the article prepared for his use, who would be convinced of our mission, which I intended to explain to him privately, if he would take an interest in my article.

Here follows only a synopsis of our trials of spirits at the two candidates, to wit, the Democratic and the Republican for the office of Governor in the State of New York.

According to the direction of our leaders I paid first my personal visit to Judge Parker of Albany, Democratic Candidate.  He appointed a certain time for an interview in which he would be ready to read my writing and hear what I had to say.  But when I would return at the appointed time, my leader interfered and said, that I had to try the spirits of merchant Morgan of the City of New York, Candidate of the Republican Party.  Morgan appeared to be shrewd as I supposed him to be; because otherwise, having commenced in poverty he would not have become a rich merchant.  When I mentioned my business with him, he replied that he had a business, which he must attend in the city, and that his clerk who was in that room, would settle my business with him; and he left the room.  Then I talked with his young clerk and mentioned my former charges and my present charge, as far as he may have been able to bear, and that I had with me a document which I had prepared for that campaign.  I added, that whereas I belong to no party, that candidate would be most qualified for the Governor’s office, who would comprehend my document and make use of it.  The clerk insisted, that I should go with my document to the editors of the Tribune.  But I replied, that my document was not prepared for the Tribune, but to be studied and used by the candidate himself.  But the clerk remarked, that Mr. Morgan would not have time to study it.  And I said, that if Mr. Morgan would not have time, I would go to Judge Parker; and I assured the Clerk, that if Judge Parker would have time to study my document and to make use of it, he would certainly become Governor.  Then the clerk was moved, that he appointed the hour of the next following day, in which I could speak with Mr. Morgan.  I came at the appointed hour; but Mr. Morgan spoke with another man, and when he saw me, he went with his man in an other room.  In the mean time the clerk insisted, that I should go with my document to the editors of the Tribune.  I did not leave directly the room but was waiting till Mr. Morgan dispatched his man.  Then without speaking with me a word he went to other business.
