He says so.

The little Padre now says that he is In favor Of
State Government. The proof accumulated upon
him so fast and strong that he could not deny it
longer. But he says tho people can decide the
question for themselves and that he will not pre-.
vent them from SO doing This sort Of speech is
mere CANNON on the part Of the little deCeiyar.--
lie knows that he does not utter the words Of
honesty when he so speaks. lie has sold himself
to that project. lie knowsa swell as he knows
that he is going to bo defeated on the first Mon
day in September, that he promised alIhls support
TO the scheme and that all the powers Of his
crafty narrow.coDtracted mind will be lent to ef-
fectiug the imposition ola State Government upon
the people Of New Mexico. When the people
understand this they know what they may expect
in this regard They understand the little doma-
gogue to be cunning and unscrupulous. They
know that he never tells them the truth when
fasehood will serve bis purpose better When
he wants to advance himself and oppress them
there are no bounds to tho love he has for the
dear people. But h, has run on that ticket 50
long that the people have found him out aud when
he begins to make this sort ofproiessioD Che peo.
pie naturally begin to enquire, "what Is in The
wind"f the little Padre loves US again.
Iithey should now probe to the bottom Of bis
present love for then, ,they will fud that it is all fol
the purpose Of making himself and few of hi,
particular friends rich at their expense If h,
should be elected Delegate and q majority Of hi,
friends elected to the Legislative Assembly they
will beyond per-adveuture have New Mexico
made into State before the adjournment Of thu
next session Of the Legislature, and by this tint
next year they will be paying taxes to support th
State Government and pay tho sPadre and hi
favorites for holding Offices which it will beget--
lie has pledged himself to this, aud his heart i
in it. All the hollow excuses he may. make, 0
, bis friends make for him, will be and are made 70
the purpose of accomplishing the fraud for whicl
he has barganed. Had he not made the bargai
to cheat the people he could never have had tn
support Of the State advocates who were in til
eJune-bug" convention, and without that supper
he could not have secured for himself the nomins
ton and every person who knows the little IelloI
knows that be would have bartered bis soul 70
that nomination.
Now, it is the business Of the peopleto repudiat
the bargain the little Padre made 10 have theI
turned over to their would be oppreSsors. the
are saved from the effects Of the dupciiy of th
little trickster they will be saved by casting the
own votes against him and those who are bis &c
completes in the nelarious scheme. 1t will not d
for the people to conclude that this is an election
tioneering cry raised for the mere purpose ofkeel
ing votes from the little Padre No such thin
1t an accusation founded on facts which will nj
be refuted. While the little aspirant had an ol
gan did not dispute it, The fact is so palpab
that it could not have been publicly denied will
out having been as publicly established, from Il
columns Of the organ itself, and confusion brougl
upon the whole company Of consprators again
the commonwea. Hence it is not to be wo
dered that the little. demagogue has proClaimt
his opposition to newspapers When he had OIL
at his service, to do his will and make out Il
best case it could for him, it could say nothing
bis favor nor rolute the damaging charges th
were made against him.
But witha, the exposures do overtake him al
in spite of his shifting and doubledealing the pu
lie do find out.hs weaknesses, his corruptons, b
immOralities, his dishonest practices, his charl
tany, aud the weak devices coucocted by him
deceive the people into his support.
The vote Of New Mexico cannot be otherwi
than against such an unworthy man. Rememb
he says he is iD favor Of q State Government.
