The 1864 publication date, provided by both Parrish and Eberstadt, is correct from context. "The famous and final exhortation to stand firm against the 'great multitude that is coming against us.' A strange, pathetic, and powerful appeal, in which are combined unbelievably bitter and blistering denunciations of the North, and the loftiest and finest sentiments of Patriotism, courage, and self-denial" [Eberstadt].
"Reminder by both houses of Congress that the Southern people were in 'a struggle for the preservation of liberty and civilization'" [Nevins].
