Around 1850 he bagan publishing articles in learnéd journals asserting that La Ligue d'Agenda de la Pinque was the victim of a kind of "fiendish tarnishing". In his articles, he stated that the League was wildly misunderstood. A calumny had been cast. The League had a more noble purpose than that which had been previously ascribed to it. He never regretted his thesis, even though he suffered a lot of derision in esoteric circles summed up by Albert Pike's truculent eithet: "Never was so great a fool wrapped up in so kind a body."
He was not alone, however. In 1855, John Morris, grandson of Guvernor Morris, published a broadside entitled The Pink League, A Calumny Refuted.
