COpPERHEAD. JOSH ALLEN
Denounced by the Wnr Democrats Of
EGYPT.

The following arHcle is takou from the
Vienna Courier, johnson county, war Dem
ocratlc paper, published In former Gibral-
ter Of Democracy, when the Republicans did
not number two per cent. Of the voters: :

The course Of Joshua Allen in Congress, "a
the Representative Of the 13th District of 1lli-
uois, has been the subject OF remark through
out the entire Union. Elected, Is he Was,
uron professions OF devoted attachmenL to
the Government, and reversing all his prutes-
tations by his speeches and Yotss, It ia but
Just that he receive mcrited condemnation.
from the fact that the 18th district bears the
most noble record Of the war. Oar State has
flied every call for volunteers without even
the necessity for bounties additional to those
offered By the general Government, aud tho
18th district looms up her large excess Of
quota In proud dfsttnctton Of hae love Of
county. This alone is evidence sufficient to
control the course Of = Representative who
desires not to abuse the power conflded
to him; but. In addition to this, four-ftths
Of the thousands Of refugees who hare, with
In the past two years, eWelled our population
to more than its original density, are nncon-
t1itional Union men. It Is made plain to the
veriest' bleekhead that. during the twent3
years ". ]. Allen has filled seat In Goa
gress,. he has grossly misrcprasentcd the feel
Ing and sentiment Of the people residing IN
tho District from which he halls. And, after
so many thousands Of our brave boys had
gone into the aru3y-Rnd SO many hundreds
Of the Ehamocrats had not shou1dered mus
keith the elections last fall, the distiact
issue Of Unionism and shamocracY was made
the test In nearly every county IN the
vote showed heavy aggregate ma-
tority-eycn Williamson county giving
bnt hfty-one Shamocratic minority.
This being In ALIENS OWE county,
which he had carried the fail previous BY q
heavy yote, is IN indication that he will not
. be sustained bY eVen bis old ncighbors in the
courEc he has seen tit to pursue IS their rep
restntatire. Hundreds Of hIs old friends in
this county 'haye scratched his name from
their books" and have determined that
tLey will never agnin trust him With theii
honor or permit him to resp profit from thell
votes. Elevated to power upon no partlcu'
lar policy to save the Union, he has failed to
produce any plan Of restoration, ana 10 con,
tfpual1y voting to eMbarrass the national
finances, that the people may lose confidence
in the stability Of the Government, and be
the more ready, II necessary, to mid IN the
establishment Of Northwestern Confcdera
CT, nnd repudiate the debt they have con
tractcd In tie prosecution Of the war. Thif
would secure the Independence Of the South
from the 18th District and those with whom
ha is politically associated. Once clear O.
New England, they argue, the navigation O
the Mississippi river as an outlet to traal
would drive the people Of the great North
west to form IN alliance, offensive and de
fensiye, with the South, and finally make
them an integral part Of the Southern Con
