Among the articles are: "Negro Soldiers in the United States Senate" "the Wyandot County Case---The Soldiers' Voting Law Decided Unconstitutional" "Negro Troops In Congress.

Described as "The Hottest Rebel Sheet to be found in the North or the South", this newspaper opposed the war and attracted the hatred of the Republicans and the Lincoln administration. It insisted that slavery could not be prohibited by law. So obnoxious was this paper to Unionists that it was denied circulation in some cities. In 1863 the press was raided by a hateful mob.
