The Wilmington Post argues for unconditional amnesty toward political offenders, urging the Republican party to forgive former rebels and welcome them back. It condemns punitive postwar measures and advocates a generous policy to restore national unity and cohesion.
The Post offers farmers a half price subscription through January 1869 to reach rural readers. Aimed at educating families and supporting religious thought, the notice promotes The Poor Man's Library and links Swedenborg to modern religious writings. It cites Dr Herrick Johnson and references constitutional reform ahead of the Fifteenth Amendment.
The Senate offers a bill directing the Treasury to provide a suitable site and erect a substantial post office building in Wilmington North Carolina with adequate space for internal revenue officers customs officials and United States Courts. An appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars is set forth to carry out the act.
The issue highlights agriculture from the American Institute Farmers' Club and horticulture guidance from Prof James Law at Cornell. It notes Captain Frey’s postoffice raid near Bland Court House uncovering letter theft, praising Frey and Eugene Lewis for aiding the operation.
The text references the Commissioner's 1869 report, emigration topics, a note on a census bill, and a Boston Traveller remark about monuments to great Americans. It also mentions receipt acknowledgment from O H Dotkery and a Philadelphia Post critique of Secretary Fish, calling his policy “fishy.”
