The weekly Arizonian., 1859-11-03
A CARD.

of Oct. last, find the following:
 We yesterday published letter from the HoN Mr. MovEy, and to day we publish one from CuL. IIrus, as also an article from the ArHouIan, grossly relecting upon the Rcpubli- can in relation to Arizona matters This arti- cIe is signed G. and may have been written by MR EDWARD MCGowAN, who with ex-Congress member NR llERncHr, is reported as a resi- dent of Arizona, and having one or both of them, the control orthe ARizoyIAN.'
 he article alluded 10 by the Editor of the Re publican and published in the Arizonian of the sth of Sept was not written by me, nor was in Tucson at the time it was rcnued, nor for several days after it was in print The indi- yidusl who has taken exceptions to that part of the article which referred to him. and who has addressed the Editor of the Republican in re lation thereto--did, have been informed, Cor pretended to) attribute he writing of the com. municatioH in question lo me- when he had previously been made acquainted with the name of the gentleman who had peuned it, and that is not all, shortly after the article appeared in print met him, socially, at Fort Buchanan without once touching upon the sub cct not withstauding the gentleman remained for sev. eral days at the Fort in the immediate vicinity of Col Titus residence.
 lnasmuch as this injured fndiri5uql may have signiGed 10 the Editor of the Missouri Republican that l had written the Horny "squb in controversy and about which the valiant Nicaragua Colonel, appears to be so "tender footed is the reason why allude to Hat portion of the Editors remarks, which are quoted above.
 The chief motiye have for noticing this a01ir at uIl is to correct an erroneous i'm. prcsson that has gone forth to the world, in relation to the Eltlr,hip of the Ap. zoMAS; in which the HoS P. T. HERBERT, and myself have been mentioned, as Editing or controlling the said newspaper; and at the same time to do justice 10 a very worthy and talented gentleman who is the sole Editor and has the entire control of its coumns-I refer to J. HOWARD WELLS, EsQ, who took charge of the paper, immediately upon its being pur. chased from ts late owners
 have never written an Editorial or other article for the paper, except one commuuica, ton, which appeared upon the outside of two numbers o.ita and of which 1t was quite apparent upon the face of it, as 10 who the author was. As to my friend, Mr Herbert he has been a, Fl Paso. Texas and Mesjlla, A. T., since the list of Sept last attending 10 professional busi. ness, nor has he been in Tucson, more than one issue of the paper, since its removal to this place. He has never written anything for the paper eXcep. one communication, which was dated from Fl Paso, Texas.
 Before Mir Herbert left for the Mesilla val. loy in oo"versaiinn ! had with him. h, GIly coincided with me, in the opi.ion. tb,, in. Ii,tIe Arizonian, with Mr. Wells as Editor. was in much aJlcr hands, than it would have been in either of ours as that gentleman had, in the short time he then had charge of its columns through which he was endeavoring to advance thc true interests of the Purchase and was uu,hiully annuuciating the honest sentiments of ninetenths of its nhabiants-exhibited a capacity-lin the yocatou he had for the first time assumed )-scldom to be found in old hands, much less, in one, who had never before attempted to do newspaper writing.
 The foregoing will l trust, put to rest any more lumors in relation to Mr. IL or myself. in connection with the Edtorship or control of the Arizonan
 EDw McGowAN.
