udence with which also my language was so terribly
misrepresented there is no room to make more than this remark:

A.D. 1835, I wrote a Latin treatise "On the congeniality of languages,"
showing how by the comparative study of languages many deep truths for
the introduction of Christ's peaceable Reign or of the universal
Republic of Truth and Justice would be unravelled. Before I was
qualified to write such a treatise, I had to study many ancient and
modern languages, some more thoroughly, and some only by looking over
the grammar and dictionary. Here is no room to explain the reasons, why
I devoted, before writing said treatise, only some few hours and learned

resolutions, to move the American nation and by their mediumship all
nations for action, to redeem oppressed humanity from the yoke of
tyrants, and that those for whom it would be impossible, to publish the
whole in one number, will publish it in two or three numbers. Our
resolutions have been offered to the Convention in the following words:

Resolutions for the "Philanthropic Convention to overcome evil with
good," held in Utica on the 10th, 11th, and 12th September 1858.

Whereas the writer of the following resolutions did hear nothing in
this Convention of "the general fundamental cause of the existing
evils in the social, religious and political relations of mankind,"
and according to his knowledge in no Convention of the so called
reformers has this general fundamental cause been found out, and
