TRUE COPPEKHEADISNI.

AuE o1aAc VI aAAAo !" AVte9 eouuty CAen1-
Plifes the aims md wishes Of real.copper-
headism everywhere. It is true that all the
copperheaas are not anxious themselves to
rush into active light; because some OF them
are too sluggish, some OF them too coWardiy,
and some are constitution11lY, or BY educa-
tion, reluctant to sec blood. But that which
they shrink themselves from doing, they are
ready cnoughto have others do. These active
ma}ignants OF Coles county express Their
feelings and realize the aims toward which
they push them. These fellows are SO over
ho~lng WITH Inc spirit OF the rebellion, that
1t ls Impossible Tor them longer to Keep sttli,
and thc5 p1tch Into 1he hight upon their own
SOIL, and on their own responsibility.
What difference then Ii there between
Southern rebel and Northern oucs Not q
particle, except ns the Northern are too
unenterprising to 60 and Join their allies In
the South7 or That they think they can best
aud them by remaining and fighting here.
THIS Ia no chance scrimmnge, brought on by
accident, as the result of heated debate, or
from words casually suffered to fall 1t Is
calculated upon, provided for, and commen-
ced. The presence OF men with blaa coats,

We hope these Coles county fellows VIII
get the full wages they have cafucd- they
arc not the sort upon which to waste leniency.
Lenieucy to them is cruelty to others-for
every county has its copperheads aching to
dip In, md only restrained By salntary fear.
II they see II to be safe work, the Coles
county men will have plenty of imitators.
