If the miners do not wish to be taxed for
the maintenance of State Government,
the best thing they can do is to vote against
the Constitution /; for they will most certainly
be taxed indirectly the first two years, and
heavily taxed directly the second two years.
Union.
Will the Man in the Iron Mask who fur
nishes low-priced brains for John Church &
Co., have the condescension to enlighten his
readers, by publishing that portion of the
Organic Act which relates to taxation' VIII
it have the goodness to inform them that that
Organic Act is of as binding force upon the
Territorial Legislature as the Constitution
would be on that of the State? Let the edi-
tor astonish his pen and enrage his employers
by telling the truth and informing the people
that the Constitution is no more Of mine
taxing instrument than the. Organic Act /;
that the same construction which the oppo-
sers of the Constitution place upon that in
strumcnt is liable to be placed by any
Territorial Legislature upon the Organic Act.
The provisions of the two instruments are
identical.

'oR UNITED STATES SENATOR'S,
JAMES W. NYE
The Peculiar Style.
HENRY EDGERTON.

The Virginia Union, having dispensed
with the services of the known editor Of that
paper, and shrouded its sanctum with an i'm
penetrable veil, has adopted style Of petty
instrumentation and SANDER which places
it on par with the Sunday Parieties. In
its issue Of this morning it says:
"The Gold Hill News classes the oppo-
nents of the Constitution as bummers and
bows; but that does not make them so.
Those who have read this paper from the
commencement Of the present contest, know
very we'll that we have not only abstained
from, but have condemned anything like the
wholesale abuse Of those who differed with us
in sentiment which characterized other
sheets. When the Union, now hostile, and
the Carson Independent, now OF an ancient
and fishlike smell, were loud in their denuu-
Citations of those who opposed the Constitu-
ton, and called them indiscriminately " cop
perheads" and "traitors," and commented
upon the fact that the protest published, was
signed BY all the Macs and O's and Vans
and talked about =" Ignorant Irish, and Dutch,
and French" we protested against the in
Justice of such anathemas. That large
and very respectable portion of the commu-
nifty were opposed to the formation of State
Government at this time, and that others
were conscientiously opposed to certain pro-
visions of the Constitution as framed by the
Convention, was, and is fact too plain and
patent for denial. We said so from the first,
and say so now. The remarks made BY US
last evening, which the Union maleiously dis
torts as above, were in allusion to paragraphs
which had appeared in that paper; eviden-
ces Of public sentiment" which that paper
had adduced as part Of the old played-out
political "straw" programme. In two sue
cessiye numbers it has given the result Of
votes taken at night in drinking saloons as
Indications Of the state of the public mind,
and announced the startling fact that "small
boys in the streets Of Carson were shouting
Constitution, mol" as another significant
"straw." We alluded to this reasoning Of
the Union as fallacious, and II the deduction
10 be drawn therefrom is "that the oppo-
nents of the Constitution are bummers and
boys" the UniOR is the one that is response
BILE for the announcement, not US. II such
are not samples Of that party, why does the
Union exult over such "straws?" We are
perfectly willing to admit and expect to prove
that the votes taken at these drunken orgies
are no evidence of the public sentiment, and
the "boys at Carson" were probably shout
ing Constitution MOI" in prayerful hope
that in the defeat of the Constitution such
things as common schools would never be
known in the land and that they might be all
owed to grow up through youth of holi-
DAVIS to manhood Of ignorance. Such
/" s,raws" are all fudge and elaptrap and
humbug, worthy only of the UniOn-we don't
claim them.

WAR CLOUDS RISING. = The London
Times, in its city article of November 18th,
says that "the advices from Frankfort state
that since the period just preceding the In
dian war, the exchange in that city had not
witnessed such panic as is now prevalent
there. Spectators and capitalists alike
consider the Congress proposed BY Napoleon
only preliminary step for war, and cannot
be shaken in that belief, even by recognizing
the difficulties of the present position OF the
Bank of France, and the many complications
of the Emperor of France already has upon
his hands. Austrian funds have fallen since
the speech became known, about five. per
cent, and even the most solid stock, such as
the shares of the Frankfort Bank, declined
from 1877 to 1872" Russia is making yigor-
GUS preparations for war. Reports were cur-
rent in Paris ON the Doth November that the
Bank of France would advance the rate Of
discount to eight per cent, or restrict its
loans to paper maturing within two months.

"CHoPPrSe."-The Gold Hill Ne,cs, a
few weeks ago, was strongly in favor Of tax

upon the platform Of Stewart and Mitchell,

the mines from taxation in our revenue law.
-CnioR-
It occurs to US that few weeks ago "
this paper was held up to obloquy by the
onion and other mine-taxing papers, for be-
ing on the fence" and for not denouncing
as copperheads all who opposed the Con-
stitution. This paper was open to free dis
cussion of the question, and was the fayorite
medium for the illusions of Cosmos, until
that eminent advocate of free mines and
Territorial Government awaited himself Of
the Cnioa's flop" and transferred his lite

IT is supposed that the following extracts are
remarkable specimens Of excrutiatingly fine
writing
" In spite of inexorable age and hollow-eyed
consumption, shall live to see the grand
Apocalypse of Freedom, when the lazy vulture
shall sit asleep on the gibbet of treason, and
when one flag shall be folded to the heart OF
every State or be pinned to the door of her capt.
toll with bloody spear. Within the horoscope
all is now changed. Instead of commanding
General lettering ANONYMOUSLY in his camps,
we espy another swinging his bloody sword and
shifting his stations flank.
Where defiant legions mustered in behalf of
treason, widowhood in thread-bare weeds and
ragged orphanage pull the unripe corn, and the
desolate tracks of armies traverse the fields where
the yellow grain was nodding to the reaper.
In the distance grim War is putting off his
battered helmet and throwing away his red bat
ue-ax; and the sturdy arm of free labor is di-
reeting the glittering plowshare where the
swarthy bondsman shed his hopeless tears and
muttered his respondent prayer.
Yet little while and the sun of national
glory VIII break from the rifted cloud, revealing
traitors gibbets, melancholy ruins and CHASTITY
fields still moist with the baptism of patriots
blood but, over all, freedom will be lifting up
the cross of national redemption in the sight of
applauding nations, and the lordly pine will
utter its triumphant Te Deum in the winds that
come down from the Northern pole, while the
broken palm means its dismal Misereres in a
land of graves
