Have No Sympathy"

It craufcs us greatly to sec the following named gentlemen, who are widely known as men of influence and standing in community, withdraw their names from tho so-caled "Pcoples' party ticket" and discountenance the action of the very few people who com posed the Peoples Convention,' and who, in order to befog citizens and fool them into voting for the Governor and q few others whom he wants sent to the Legislature to vote him thanks, and help him cover up his tracks, placed, without permission, the names of these gentlemen upon their ticket. A perusal of the subjoined cards will show our readers to what desperate straits the Me Cormick faction was driven, in order to make mp ticket How trying it must be to the tempers of the high-mettlcd members of the clique, to see the "pillars" selected by them with so much care, to hold up their rotten, contempiibe fabric thus ruthlessly withdrawn, and the inside workings of the

EDIToR ARIZONA MrSER.-The so-called Peoples Convention" which assembled in this place on the 18th instant, saw proper to give me nomination for Representative, without consulting me upon the subject. Had they done so, l should have requested them not to use my name in their Conyen- ton, and you would have been saved the trouble of printing this communication. But, as they did not do SO, l feel compelled, in justice to myself, to say that l am Demo crat of the old school, and am in strict unity with my party in this county. The Demo cratic Convention which met in Prescott on the 18th inst. honored me with @ nomination for the same office, which nomination ac- ccptcd, and am perfectly satisfied with the ticket presented by that Convention. and in tend to heartily support its nominees, with out single exception, and request all my friends to do the same While am thank iul to the gentlemen who composed the Peo- ples' Convention, for the honor they have done me, prefer to work with the Demo cratic party.

The anticipation that some decides action
would be taken in Congress to-day in regard to
the action OF the President in removing Mr.

the closest watch was kept upon the proceed
ings, In the expectation OF the matter COM
ing up.
The Democratic side OF the cham ber by flIi
clustering motions, managed to delay entering
upon regular business for a considerable time.
The impeachment report Of Mr.. Stevens was
made shortly after p. m, and was listened to
with the most absorbed attention Mr Stevens
being quite feeble, had barely strength to pre-
sent the report and say few words in support
Of il. He was followed by Mr.. Brooks, of New
York, from the minority Of the Reconstruction
Committee, in heated opposition to the report
At 40 p. m. the debate is still progressing in
the House. The excitement and interest are SO
great that ladies have been admitted TO the

where near the over-crowded galleries. When
Mr.. Brooks concluded, on behalf of the mi

Hon. 4. N. .Stanten
1t is stated in behalf Of the President that
what was dcne by him yesterday was purely of
civil character and in no wise partakes Of the
military. His purpose, it is alleged, is SIM
ply to remove one officer and appoint another
dd interim, and If the first refuses to obey the
order, then probably to test the matter by reg
ular legal proceedings in the civil courts, or,
getting possession of the Office through his ad
interim appointee, to compel Mr.. Stanton to
seek his remedy by scrit quo ,cdrranfO, or other
procedure, TO bring the matter bef ore the
courts.
About two O'Clock yesterday afternoon, 1t Is
stated, the Paymaster General received an order
signed by General Thomas Secretary Of War;
