Arizona Territory.

We make the following extract from the cor
respondence Of the San Francisco Herald, in
reference to Arizona. II will be seen that il
confirms our previous notices of tbe value of
the new Territory, and the necessity for its
separate organization
aThe great plague of the country is the
Apaches. They divide up into small bands aad
scour the country on every side. This place
(Tuesonl is almost the only frontier town in the
Purchase which has wiihstood their ravages,
and even here stock cannot range in safety
mile from the town without a guard. In all
probability the Government, in few years,
will forever settle these pests. They are
hardy, crafty tribe, bat mol at all brave. There
is no longer any doubt that this country is
immensely rich in mines of silver, gold, copper,
iron and lead. have Travelled all the mineral
districts of North America, and have seen
enough here n satisfy me that this IS The richest
of them all. The people here raise two crops
year, bnl have TO irlgate for one.
"Why do not some OF your enterprising San
Francisco merchants open trade with ARR
zona Goods sell there al enormously high
prices, and much the largest portion of them are
brought by the ways OF Texas aud Missouri
There are but few who have anything like a
correct idea of The mineral wealth of the Gads-
den Purchase, or OF the value as stock grow
ing country; and, in fact, many places are now
lying idle, waiting for an occupant, combining
all the advantages Of good grazing, good farm
ing land, and rich silver mines-all OF which
can be secured upon one pre-emption claim.
''There are large tracts Of the finest kind Of
farming land between this place and M-ssila
which will be taken up as soon as the Apaches
are quieled. AT present ,Ino one can do any
thing here without some capital. ] am satisfied
with my adventure. This country has all the
elements which make great State, and waits
now but for the people. The ''Sonora mining
Company, operating near Tubec, about seventy
miles up the valley from this place, have lately
discovered vein of silver ore of extraordinary
extent and gichness The Mexican miners re-
gard it as worth millions. / will write you
more fully about this hereafter. Our greatest
want now is the territorial government. There
are too many men living here without laws;
and although they have got along very we'll 50
far, it is not safe 10 trust longer 10 the present
state of things. But | must bring this intolrra-
bic long letter to close. | will write again by

So in order that the public mind may be put
at rest in regard to this matter think It would
be we'll for Congress 10 make the declaration.
The President closes his mastery message 50
eelingly that ! think every heart IN the coun-
try must be touched with sense OF the exal-
ted purity of his character. He beautifully
SAYS 81 have thus performed my duty on this

of It, by the admission of Kansas during the

should be rejected, greatly fear these clouds
win become darker and more omlnous than any
which have ever vet threatened the constItu-
ton and the Union"
That the present Congress will admit Kansas
under the Lecompton Constitution | bave not
a doubt. True it is that few Democratic
members have expressed opposition to that IN
srument but after celebrating upon The mat
ter. these gentlemen with but few exceptions
have concluded that our worthy President is
right and will sustain him. The very few
gentlemen who profess attachment 10 the Dem
ocratic party and who may cast their votes
against the policy of the Administration, will
have 10 look well to their laurels, for ] cannes
believe that we have 10 Pennsylvania single

in any way ally himself with Black RePubli-
can factions in opposing James Buchanan, es-
pecially when the people find as they most
assuredly will, that the President is right in the
view he takes of this vexed question.
The friends OF the Administration have heard
with pride and satisfaction Of the defeat of the
resolutions of instruction brought forward IN

THE DEMOCRACY OF PENNSYLVANIA

1t is the fashion Of those who differ with
President Buchanan Ii relalinnm 10 the--adIsis-
vsfenefi@ LecomPton Constitution,
to boast loudly Of what they term ''the hostility
OF the people of Pennsy sylvania to the Lrcompton
Swindle." If those captious gentlemen would
only for a Ismsnt open their eyes TO the truth.
they would find that the Democracy of our
State, instead of being opposed to the Kansas
policy of the National Administration, are
warmly and decidedly in its flavor. Let
them look at the undeniabe fact that three
tourIhs of the Democratic new spapers of the
STATE support that policy. Let them Erad the
recorded sentiment ofthe people IN accounts
ofpublic meetings sustaining and applauding
the course of Mr.. Buchanan. Why, Phila-
delphIa has spoken, in thunder tones, her appro-
val OF his administration. Twice has that noble
Democratic city placed herself on record, as
siauneh supporter of our Pennsylvania Presi-
dent. Allegheny, in her late County Conyen-
ton, likewise, endorsed his Kansas policy
50 have the Democrats of CARBON, of OAKLAND,
Fenango County, of SUsQUEHANNA, of WAYNE
~ l-I''i-' vi NLEAKflEEDj OF CLARtoN, OF CAM-
BRn, of BEDFoRD. Where, then, among the
Democracy OF Pennsy y!vania, Is this ''bitter hos
tiiity to the Lecompon Swindle,'' as the oppo-
nents Of The Administration so mincingly
phrase it? We are answered in Westmorpland,
Somerset, Lycoming and among the Abolition
ISIS OF Philadelphia who are at present playing
Democrat to tickle Col. Forney and bis CO.
adjutors. Well, surely, such an array as that
IS imposing, especially as long as the Abolition
lists are counted as Democrats
