Quotes the September 7, 1863 issue of the Richmond Enquirer in order to pillory the South and Jefferson Davis for their belief that the war could be ended by attacking Pennsylvania to get to Washington. Calls the Richmond Enquirer "Jeff. Davis' Organ." Directed at Peace Democrats (Copperheads), particularly in Pennsylvania. Reads "…Jeff. Davis proposes to aid the Democracy of the North in the next Presidential Campaign!...Gen. Meade to be driven back, Washington to be beleaguered, and the Democracy to assail the Administration!...Men of Pennsylvania! Are you prepared for Peace on such terms? If not, proclaim to the Southern Rebels, by the ballot-box, at the next election, that the PENNSYLVANIA ROAD TO PEACE, is THROUGH submission to the CONSTITUTION, and IN THE UNION!"
