The article rails at Democratic politicians turning to farming in the West while praising Republican prosperity. It notes local jurors in the U S Circuit court and questions Sheridan’s role in Early’s history project. It warns against arch historians and urges preparedness with firearms.
The article mocks a White Sulphur Springs Virginia gathering labeled the Southern Historical Society. Jubal Early is praised, Jeff Davis endorsed, and generals and clergy fill the crowd as the piece questions the group’s historical credibility and intent.
In a late Southern Historial Society address Jeff Davis claims the South was cheated and defrauded rather than conquered. The piece argues Davis mischaracterizes Grant and Sherman and urges reconciliation and opposing his restorationist rhetoric amid postwar strife.
At a late session Senator Wade of the Radical side urged the private bill of Senator Evans from South Carolina. Evans, anxious its passage, saw Wade rise and call for suspending the rules to proceed. The maneuver quickly carried the measure, prompting Evans to quip that only a Yankee would think of it. Events then moved toward Buchanan’s administration.
The text recounts Senator Wade facing secession and war as the South pushed for nullification and independence. It covers his stance on peace resolutions, clashes with Jefferson Davis, the failed peace efforts, Douglass’s aborted anti slavery speech, Lincoln's 1861 inauguration, Sumter’s 1871 attack, and Wade’s role as chairman of the Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War while the nation mobilized and Congress adjourned.
The narrative recalls a family during the Civil War with a father, a noble wife, and sons Henry and James in the army. It describes McClellan’s hesitations near Washington, Manassas memory, and Wade and Henry Winter Davis opposing Lincoln’s emancipation policy, influencing public stance and policy.
