Republican government and majority rule in postwar states
The author argues Congress must protect a republican form of government in new and re admitting Southern states. He warns that excluding the majority from voting or office would subvert republicanism and necessitate congressional intervention to guarantee the majority’s participation, especially as Black citizens gain freedom. The piece stresses that Congress must safeguard rights and prevent minority rule.

Debunking Democratic Praise of President Jonxson
A critical excerpt cites New York World praise of President Jonxson and Andrew Johnson, then rebukes it as insincere. The piece contrasts Civil and Military Tennessee roles, denounces current rhetoric, and mocks the vice presidency as unworthy. It references Caligula and long lists of historic leaders to lampoon political rhetoric.
