View of Matters as they Stand.

It is amusing to observe the puerile efforts made by our sage-brush contemporary to bol- ster up Richard C. Mccormick. in letter published in its columns over the signature of Democrat ostensibly from Prescott, it attempts tu show it's readers why it would be better to support the Governor for Dele- gate in Congress, than any person nominated by Convention. Our "erudite DcmociatD afiirms that conventions, in the main, are ir- responsible; that men secure their nomiua- tions by chicanery and deXterous wire pull ing; that obnoxious men are thrust upon the people for their sufrages by said !" rresponsi- ble conventions Our "facetious party man" is first sedate-then very gay--now sublime, then very rediculous, over Mr. Nc Cormick's chances. Our sage chronicer gives history ofthe Yarapai 1piraats, as he terms three gentlemen of this county, and indulges in a little gush of humor at their expense He sums them up-he concentrates them--and shows the positions they occupied in the Le gislature of this Territory. Now we do know that these three gentlemen served the Terri tory faithfully, and with ability; and either one of them would be better 10 represent u, in Congress than his excelency the Govern or-our festive Jefferson Democrat to the contrary notwithstanding.
 The people of Yavapai county have known Richard c. Mccormick, intimately for four years; we are familiar with the history of bis coming here with the Gubenatoria outfit at government expense; familiar with the petty nature of his transactions at that time familiar with his public and private history since that period, and have positively had enough of him. Were he Democrat instead of a nondesclipt, as he is, we should strenu- ously oppose him. We have TO faith in him

We believe him to be unscrupulous- untrue to either any section or party; certainly a dangerous man to entrust with such an i'm portant position a, our Delegate in Congress
 We want tried man; au energetic man one whose interests are identified so closely with the Territory, that we can at least count upon hi, return Co the Territory at the expiration of his term of office. Such man We believe will be put forth hy the Conven- ton to-day.

Attention. Democrats,

Oar exchanges are rcpletc with news of re- cent Democratic victories in the East, whcr- ever elections have been held. In the interior of New York, counties hitherto Republican have given handsome Democratic maiorities Herkimer, Otseco, Fulton, Broome, Nteuben, St. Lawrence. and other counties, have gone largely Democratic. The Workers are eyi- dently sick of Republican rule, and are mak- ing efforts to throw of the yoke ot tyranny, which has borne heavily on the nechs of our people,
 The gratifying change in tue sentiments of our Northern brethren has not been alone because the eyes of the people are beginning to open to the fact that the Republican poli- cy is wrong, but is partly attributable to the perfect organization of the Democratic par ty, an organization which, during the period of trouble, held tcnnciously together, con- scious of the correctness of its own principles. This should teach the democracy of Arizona the necessity of party organization.
 It is the duty of every man who calls him self Democrat, says the Stockton Ga7.te, to join in an open and public manner some or- ganization ur his party. IL is not sufficient that he coincide in opinion with his Demo cratic c5ptrerss. and will vote the ticket when occasion requires but he must testify Co the truth by subscribing hi, name to ihc party rolls, must assist by hi, presence and personal influence party action, and, in a word, dcclar, himselfa regular soldier, on the side of tru'i and Constitutional freedom, in the great bat tie soon to be decided No man who stand now. or hesitates to ayow himself the unqual flied champion of popular rights, can deserv the appreciation of his conscience or be enti tied to the esteem of his fellows The delu ded adherents of fanaticism are many, an the money power can brbe the interruptions so that it will require the united efforts ofa the good and true men of the country to prC serve the free institutions now SD persistent and wickedly assailed.
 How true are the above remarks; and ho' aptly do they apply to our own Territory.
 That we have majority in the Territory and large one too, there can be no doub Why not then. unite and achieve a glugior victory over the nondcscrpts. To-day th Convention assemblies at Wickenburg, whe it is expected that a true Democrat will nominated for Delegate in Congress. w care not from which portion of the Territor he may be-whether from the north or sou' of the Gila--we will support him. We on' wish the best Democrat to receive the nomi tion; and such. We have no doubt, will the action of the Convention Then let ev " Democrat but do his duty, and We do D fear the result.

Change of our Indian Policy.

From the san Francisco Bulletin we have the outline of d bill introduced into the Sen ate by Senator Henderson, for the manage m,pt of the Indians on the Pacific coast. Tue bill creates a new executive Department with head to be bcappontcd by the President, called the Secretary of Indian Affairs. There are to be but four Indian Supcrintendcncie, two of which are to be located on the Pacific slope. The Supcrintendents are to receive salary of S 1000: they are to have plcnary cXecu- tive powers within their respective districts, and generally to exercise the powers of Ter rtorial Governors, and in time of war those of Department Commanders
 There are tu be five Agents to each Super ntcndcncv. and five Indian Inspectors whose duty it shall be to see that the Indians are not cheated in goods bought for them under Congressional appropriations. Two Re~erva- tionS are to be set apart as recommended in the report of General sherman and associates, and each of these Reservations iS to have a Delegate in Congress.
 \ Commission of five persons is authorized to treat with the Indians west of the Rocky Mountains, with a view of getting them on two Reservations on tde Pacific slope. De
 tailed and strict regulations are established governing trade with the Indians, and great effort i, made to fix them in all their rights !. The Secretary is to aid the tribes, giving ul f their old habits by providing them with s'orl and farming implements, and by establishing
 school, in every tribe ot which 2uU person
 have given up their nomadic habits.
 This pau # earned in,o eyccuti"n, may q , may not afford Us relief But as we are quit accustomed to change in the programme q i our Indian matters, we suppose we ought, b |, this time, to expect another change. We ar , willing to advocate any plan that will nd n il of the Indian, but are disposed to belicv
 that a vigorous, and determined aggrc>Siv

 The foregoing from the Clarion, says the Vicksburg (Miss.)

TRUE SIGNS.
Democrat

As preccdents we have always noticed that the condition of the principal and most thriy, ing cities and towns, fin the different seasons of the year, is the thermometer by which the condition of the surrounding country is clearly shown.
 A town, for instance, where in the spring of the year the street., are blocked up with dIers-tbo saloons and groceries oyer-rm with loungcrs prisons filled with yagrauts and yagabouds and every lamp post the sup port of suspicious looking person-you at once say that the surrounding country is in an unhealthy condition.
 There is that lack of industry among the people which makes them unhappy: manu- factories cease working; merchants become restless for the want of something to do me chauics become dependent, and trade of all kinds stale. All attributable to the ioIlcness and want of energy of those who are the more able to take hold On the other hand, a town which is prosperous anl thriving, in this season of the yearis dull, but that kind of dulness which encourages all, and in,tll, into them a spirit which makes life worth
 wrestling for. Of fsuch is our town.
 Our merchants, groccrs and saloon keeper, are doing light business. No loalcrs, bum
