We are glad to notice that the white
winged dove of peace is still lowering over
Texas, and that the coarse language for
merly INDUCED in by the journalists Of
that state in speaking of each other has
been discarded and honeyed words like
the following, which is clipped from the
Austin Dispatch, of September &c; There
are pair Of ours, one a little red spaniel,
the other of the bOard-yard species, run
ming or trying to run something they call
newspaper in this city. For some time
they have been barking at US frantcally IN
the hope that We would review their puny
attempts to annoy US. We beg to inform
them that, while the rawlings OF a maniac
are sometimes dangerous, the barking of
such ours is perfectly harmless. If the
brainless apes who are publishing patent
inside near the postoffice in this city admit
the scribbings of cowardly slanderer
into their filthy columns In the hope that
we will enter into controversy with them,
they are mistaken. We never waste our
powder on buzzards, but reserve it for more
important game.
