Mn. EDITOR At last, the sickly and
spineless Dakotian Of this place he's been
helped from it's bed Of iscomps.ency by
the ungrammatical clerks and Michigan
nurses Of the Surveyor Generals Office,
and has como out dressed in "lsader."
A "Ieader,' did I say7 Yes, a leader"
and on wbat7 On "pro,titut,on," it's pot
subject and occupation. And we'll and
ably is the subject treated, coming as it
does from one VINO has grown warped and
rheumatic Id The inglorious cause Of which
no ~riteth. This little Dukotian throws
up its holy hands to heaven, and cries in
subs.ance-for shame, LoGRoLLER! how
can you b 30 prostitute as to tell facts
which "beslaver the prirate character Of
individuals who are connected with public
AFFAIRS As we'll might Heenan say to
Ssyers in prize 6ght-"for shame Tenn,
why do you strike me on tbs face"
All editors generally write and publish
matter to suit themselves, and every editor
has the belief that his own sheet is by far
the most brilliant and distinguished jour-
mol in the land. Hence, for instance, the
little half sheeted, lifeless Dakot,an sets
itself up on its throne Of dignity and
prostitution, and declares that nearly
oil tho presses in the land spit hate by
steam. But as Fanny Fern would say, it
10 better to spit hate than to spit nothing.
All public men are liable 10 be hated,
and the public should speak out its hate.
But for . paper like the Dakotian which
processes to be the Territorial Journal to
sit, Cor months, like an idle school boy
astride Of the fence with his hands in his
pocket, whistling at tho clouds and SAY,
ing nothing to nobody about nothing
seems to me to be an 'in st!tution' with
no backbone in it. The Dakotian is like
q torpid serpent, unable to move only
when gloated with Government Green
Backs, and tckIsd with the rirtuous fea,h.
er of Government clerks.
The Dakotidn is disgns,ed to think that
LoGRoLLER should have been so "vie,"

ed, IS to picture for The REGISTER all the
proceedings Of the members of the Legis-
lature; and ye, no paper was SO anxiously
looked for and read by all classes, during
the Session as was The REGISTER; while on
the other hand, the Members themselves,
did nosone half the time know whether the
Ddkotian was issued or not Still the Da-
kotldn has great fears The REGISTER is in
juring itself in publishing LosRoLLEn's let
tiers. Newspapers live by news; and no
paper which sits silent, pouting and sucking
its thumbs, is capable OF debating to others
the manner Of conducting journals.
The Dakotidn admonishes us that "a
man may be walking by dangerous and
explosive institution, called saloon, and
be unexpectedly drawn into disgraceful
broil. Is it right to publish highly color
ed account, full Of lying insiuua.ions, be.
cause the man in question happe led to be
an Alderman or Representative in the
Legislature p In reply to this have
only to say, that the man is no worse who
writes an account Of the "broil,' than he
who engaged in it.
AS for the Lying insinuations,' will
defy any man in this Territory to pu. his
finger upon Q single un,ruth in any Of
LoGRoLLERs previous letters. The truth,
thus far, appears to be sufficiently cutting
enough. am not aware why an calder
man or representative" should be asham-
cd to have his public acts known t. the
public, unless be is himself ashamed Of

1t IS strange to me how an editor of the
Official paper of the Territory who has
been seen 'acapably intoxicated three
ntgats IN geek. and engaged in kicking
out the ,cindops Of a Broadpay saloon,
can have the impotence to ssy-''Private
