ED EVEN IN E11kl'
We have cheering news from the ex-
trcmc southern part Of the State rela-
tive to the Egyptian swindle. The pros
pect is that nearly all the War Democrats
Of The sth, and especially 9th CongEe<-
sional Districts, will 60 against it. Inc
election Of Josh. Allen to congress nus
oncned the eyes of the Union Oemocrats
~ ,ha noxer and influence Of the society |
,a11ed the Knights Of the Golden Circle. !
snon was the candidate Of the Knights;
+1,cv voted for him in body; and there
being two other candidates in the fieldM
Mcssrs Haynie and Marshall-of course
the Knights, {voting as unit for their
man, and their opponents being split into
two fac,ions.} elected him. This has been
a warning to the unconditional Union
Democrats, and the opponents Of Allen IRE
now determined to act together, and vote
down the new constitution
Some Of the most obnoxious provisions
Of the new constitution were inserted at
the instieation and through the influence
of Alien. He supported the most ultra
pro-sIavery, snd, in commercial point
Of view, anti-progresslve measures in
the document. Hc was always loud
mouthed against anything that squinted
towards freedom, and most tender-footed
IN his remarks concerning our Southern
brethren, as he vas wont to call traitors
in arms against the country. He repre-
sents class Of Democrats, to whom all the
modern means Of civilization are perpet-
ua1 source of trouble and anxiety, They
are opposed to railroads, and eorpor~
ations Of ali kinds, and fully believe that the
barbarian, OF natural condition Of society,
which is 50 beautifully e1empihed upon
the Southern plantations, is the hlghes'
and best. They do not believe IN variety
Of enployments or diversity Of labor, or
for that matter in labor at all. Conse-
ouently they look upon the Yankee race
as an innoyating, restless, change-lovlng,
moncy-g1ubbirg people, while the South
ern Shareholders are gentlemen from thei1
birth, and the only class Of people fit te
rule this country. In Congress, Allen vii
be found voting With Vsllandisgham & Co
and III opposition, as f;ar as he dare 60, tt
the war and to the imposition Of taxes il
support oft. In short, he is about the wors
specimen Of pro-slayery Democrat to b
found in the State.
Marshall one Of Aliens opponents, is
lar abler man than he in every fespec
while his habits and associations arc inf
nite1y better than those Of the new men
be1. Col Haynie is also q gentleman an
q soldier. Now there must be somethin
more than appears upon the surface whc
men of such infinitely superior natur
abilities, attainments and habits are thru
aside to give place to q second-rate STUN
speaker and bar-roon politician. Tt
cause will bc found in the fact, as abo'
stated, that he was supported By the (.
C.'s in body. In his district bis electie
is looked upon as q secesh triumph, al
there is great rejoicing thercat among s
the opponents Of the war in that region.
It will be remembered that when O.
troops first left this city for Cairo, tht
found secesh flags flying at sundry plac
in the 9Th district, and were saluted vi
cheers for JEFF. Davis at those points.
was found necessary to leave guar
at some Of the railroad bridges, which sect
siopists in our own State threatened and 1
tempted to burn. 1t is not strange that
these points Allen should have received
very large vote. At Cairo, where our $
diers were insulted, threatened and abuse
he pollcd big vote; also at Jonesbo
where d ledge Of the & G. C.'s has alwa
been IN full blast These things indic;
to the Union men Of the 9th district vi
were the influences that elected Allen, q
have prepared them to rise up and col
teract them,
Allen was elected by but small maj
ity, both bis opponents running him q
closely; and fthe unconditional Union n
in the district but do their duty, they I
cast very heavy majority against the
constitution. Let them, then, be up /
doing; they have no time to lose. a
iority in Tie district against the const
ton would entirely wipe out the disgr
Of Aliens election.
