'DAsHEs HERE AND THERE.

one in the Democrat made any side
wipes at you, and least Of all this
Dasher, and he is at loss to con-
ceive how you can begin to construe
his shindig jot in that light. Read
it again, and you will easily perceive
that he meant what he wrote as
simple endorsement of your shindig
local, and Pinevi!le was brought in,
not to divine which one of your Edi-
tors wrote it, but merely as COM
parison for the awful lungs of that
figure caller, and to particularly
point at him as the head nuisance.
So to wind up Dash No. ], ''nary"
side wipe was intended, but real
straight forward talk.
With Dash No. 2 we start with
the emphatic endorsement of the
trite and impressive saying of the
Court: the law is perfectly plain and
reads for itself. By this, Caucasia,
we mean that Enquirer is also per-
fectly plain and lays down his points
freely and with no hesitation, and so
you need not "hold up your horses"
for any further explanation from this
Dasher, for that Communication be-
ing of the fright stamp needed no
surprise on your part. We always
give place to such communications
coming from respectable parties and
allow them unendorsed on their own
merits, and of course the aggrieved
parties, if they be considered decent
and have any claims to a hearing, can
have their rebutting testimony ven
tilated and circulated in our col
umns.
And Chicken-pie, certainly a
fine, nourishing, sustaining diet,
which this Dasher is stranger to
for many long years, has dashed up
and struck oil with both Caucasia
and the Official Organ, and we fear,
more in sorrow than in anger, has
touched only where it was not intend
ed. To the victors belong the legiti-
mate spoils, was old Marcy's doc
trine, and we acknowledge a keen
hankering for the same tenets,
hence we were appealing for and de,
Tending old Officials rights, when we
dashed against the P. M. for flying
the track and grabbing the crumbs
from the old one. This and this
alone was this poor Dasher's sin.

The Gazette, under its new dis.
pensation, certainly merits favora
BILE Dash, which we freely give. The
tout ensemble of its last issue is GER
tainly very creditable and readable
sheet, and evinces journalistic abili
ty, which with extended practice anc
a better field would meet with deci
ded success; and we certainly admire
the new ones pluck and good sense
when with a sacre foutre, he puts his
heel down on I'LL dictation from out
siders. That's sound doctrine ant
smacks of real independence, which
every Editor nowadays, should hav.
in his composition.
Our honored, democratic sister
old Natchitoches, has at last shaker
off the dew-drops of lethargy from
her name, and once more proclaim'
herself free and uufettered, that ii
she is going to be so, and is now OF
the muster roll Of Louisiana's entr,
for white Supremacy and States
Rights. All hail to the glorious OLE
Creole Parish, once the brightes
gem that glittered in the diadem o
the fierce democracy, and Rapides
true ones give her good old fashion
hug, and gladly endorse her nobl
, sentiments as published in the eau
casian.
