In 1860, William J. Vason published The Weekly True Democrat. No information can be found for the total run dates of this title, a single December 19, 1860 issue can be found in the University of Georgia Libraries held in microfilm; the same edition is held at the Duke University Libraries.. This collection is perhaps the longest run available of the Southern Republic edited by William J. Vason. Reese Library at Augusta State University holds issues from the following dates: February 19, 1861; February 20, 1861; March 13, 1861; March 24, 1861; March 31, 1861; April 4, 1861; and April 26, 1861. These institutions hold the following single issues: University of Georgia Libraries hold in microfilm February 5, 1861, Duke University Libraries holds February 5, 1861, Emory University Libraries holds May 8, 1861, and the Boston Athenaeum holds May 29, 1861.Catalog evidence shows that the title changed to the Weekly Southern Republic in June 1861. A single issue of this run is believed to be held by the University of Georgia Libraries and is dated June 5, 1861.

Listed in the Augusta City directory as an attorney from 1865 to 1872, Vason was practicing as a lawyer on the corner of Washington and Ellis Streets in Augusta in 1861. Last assigned to the Company I Tenth Regiment Confederate Cavalry, he ended the war with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Dying on August 10, 1873, he left a widow Ann Clanton Vason and no mention of children.
