Of gold was going down, that the gold

1t is not the rich man shurely, for bis
capital will be safely locked up in Govern.
ment securities; ,chich, by an act Of Con.
gress, are exempted from taxation. The
public loan is so great that it will absorb
all tho surplus capital Of the county
Then where will the taxes necessary to
pay our current expenses, and pay the in
terest on our public debt, come from!
1t will be taken from the hard earnings
Of the poor laboriag mantle men whose
toll produces ,ceahh. It il on his broad
shoulders that burden will be placed; and
he will be expected to carry it. while lis
rich neighbor can remain in luxurious
ease, with his capital in stocks and bends,
drawing comfortable interest, and ex.
empt from bearing any Of the burdens
which this war will necessarily impose
upon the people.
This state Of things may be looked upon
very complacently BY sboddyites, but the
honest laboring mantle bone and sinew
of the country--cannot but look on it in
any other light than as an invasion Of bis
rights and fatal to his prosperity and happi.

THE STATE REGISTER MAN GOT
"SNAKES IN HIS DOETss's

From the way the chap who runs this
Shoddy institution cries copperhead We
are fully convinced that the poor cuss ha,
"snakes in his boots.' This i, not to be
wondered at when We reflect on the I'm.
meuce amount Of Government pap the
creature has consum med since the reign Of
Abraham I.
The disease produced BY 4 too libera
use Of this article OF diet, is said to be iu-
deed horrible. 1t FIRST attacks the heart
Of its poor victim, which becomes frss
black, and then as the disease progresses
It becomes hard and f,nty, and totally in.
capable Of feeling. Its effects on the
mind is even more singular Producing
sometimes feeling NO. unlike that ex.
perienced by the Hashish eaters. Some.
times he imagines he sees pyramids Of hu.
man skulls, and seas Of blood and that
he is waited upon by nymphs, who arise
from these bloody seas and worship him
as the author Of their being, and Of their
native fountains. Hollow sepulchral vol.
ces issue from the pyramids Of skulls,
praising him rs the builder Of the won-
ful structure. Then again the scene is
changed, and bowling demons issue from
these seas, heaping curses and execra,ion
upon housekeeping and wai!ing is heard
among the skulls-,he voices Of fathers,
mothers, sons and daughters are heard
cursing him rs the author of,heir misery,
asking the vengence Of Heaven upon him
who has destroyed their peace and happi.
ness !; and taunt him with being Ghoul.
Again is his mind transported with rap
ture, Is he sees visions Of greeubacks
piled mountains high; shady groves and
cooling fountains, and = lord'y harem,
stocked With sable houries from the Sunny
South. But amid all these beauties tho
terrible copperhead win insrude bio his.
sing head, and charm him With the gentle
ocsillating motion of his shining crest.
his whole being is absorbed ia the horrible
sight; his blood il froze with terror; he
cannot move member Of his body except.
ing his tongue, and that con only ar.icu-
late, copperhead! eopperhead!!
The disease has also . wonderful effect
upon the nerves Of the eye. The sufferer
has a perfect adherence Of every other col.
or excepting black and yellow. White is
his especial assertion.
1t is possible that We may be mistaken
in the case Of the editor Of the Register,
that bis disease may have been produced
by hard drinking, for it is said tha. class
Of persons not unfrequen,ly fancy they
have "Snakes in their boots" In that
case we beg his pardon for what we have
said.
