A TMcK A THIEF WorLD Nor BE GuiLTT Or.-"To err is human; 10 forgive, divine, but we fear our friend, J. W. Bryant, of Wickenburg, will never forgive Richard C. Mccormick for the base and ungencrous act of taking his hay and water, between Tyson's We'll and Desert Station. IL occurred in this wi,c Greet, " who owns and runs n freight train between La Paz and Wickcnburg, on the down trip, caclei or hid about four hun dred pounds of hay and several gallons Of water, at point about midway between the two stations, and on his return from La Paz, he intended 10 make a !" dry camp, feed the hay to, and divide the water among, his tired animals. Imagine his indignation, on arry- ing at the place late in the evening, to md hay and water all gone, and himself and anl- mals miles from the nearest water. He searched around and found slip of paper with the name of Richard C. Mccormick pen cilled upon it, and hair brush and looking glass, which "let the cat out of the bag and of course, Greet was fcrocious, but not caring to have himsclfand animals perish or the desert, he started out, and managed tC reach water. Upon learning this fact, tho | citizens ofLa Paz and Wickenburg were indig nant, and said some very hard things of Hi Excellency We heard this story one or two weeks ago, but were 10th to say anything about it until now, after several wellknowi | freighters have asked us to do SO. They sal ! it is the most infamous trick man could b
 guilty of, and that the Governor can offer n ] palliating excuse for the act. He had ligh
 carriage, drawn by four excellent mules, an
 there was nothing to prevent his arriving a
 the station without fatigueing himself an
 animals The teamsters all say that a ma
 who would do such a trick, under the circum
 stances, deserves hanging

LOOK Our FOR SPURIOUS TIcKETs-Demo- crats and Conservatives, friends of the Terri tory, be on your guard against spurious tick cts on election day. Mccormick and his friends, aware that public sentiment will not be expressed in his favor at the polls, will undertake to thwart the wishes of the people by means of bogus Democratic tickets, upon which the name of Richard C. Mccormick, for Congress will appear, and perhaps some of the names that ornament the mongrel " Peoples Ticket, ticket that has not GO supporters in the county. Examine ali the names on your ticket before voting, and if it contains that of Mccormick or any of his servile supporters, cast it aside, and get a Democratic ticket with the name of John 4. Rush, at it's head, drop it into the ballot-box and you will have done your duty to the Territory. The ticket which should be voted by every well-wisher of the Territory, stands at the head of our paper, and none other should be voted Remember the words of Crockett, "Be sure you're right, then go ahead"

TIE harmless good or-nothing proceedings of the sef-styled " Peoples County Conyen- ton which met in this place on the 18th inst, will be found on the first page of to-day's paper and, childish as they are, we bespeak a reading for them. It were folly to discuss the motives ofthe getters-up of this slde-show affair, as all who are acquainted with the gentlemen who ran the machine " will see at a glance that they are men known to be bound to Governor Mccormick. The slim attendance goes to show the strength of the party in the county, and the fact that some of them have said that they would never vote for Democrat will give our readers an idea of what they aimed at. What, swear they would not, could not vote for q Cop perhead and then turn right around and fill up the biggest part of their ticket with " traitors" whom the Democrats had already selected to fill various offices Surely these "patriots could not have been in their right minds when they transferred the names of our " radical" Democratic candidates 10 their right ' loyal" ticket. We must do several gentlemen, whose names appear in the proceedings, the justice to state that they never authorized such use to be made of their names, and that they entirely ignore the action of the three precinct Convention. Others, again, were "roped" into 1t by ap- peals to their loyalty" The remarks of the President will we know be excused upon the ground that he had to say something The driyel about call signed by many citi- zens of Yavapai county is all clap-trap. We will venture the assertion that the call was, ! like the convention, very feeble affair. If not, it would have been exhibited in print. ! Suffice it to say that majority, ifnot all of | the wire -pullers of this convention have here | tofore acted with one or the other of the two political parties '' in this Territory, but,
 recently, Richard has been " blowing light
 ming in their ears, and they became enam-
 ored of his no party doctrine. It will not do, ! gentlemen; you cannot foist old party hacks | upon the people of this county and Territory, 1 by surrounding their names with those of ] good, honest, sound Democrats, who are not
 afraid or ashamed of the party to which they
 belong.

POLITICAL MATTKRs.-From all the infor- nation received by us to date, verbally and by letter, in relation to the coming political struggle in this Territory, we deduce the idea that John A. Rush will be our next Delegate iu Congress Every mail brings us letters from leading men of Mohaye, Yuma and Yav apai counties, which speak in tones of conf- dence and hope. That Mir. Rush is the choice of the legal voters of the Territory, we feel assured, but knowing the trickery and fraud that has heretofore been practiced to defeat the will of the citizens of the Territory, by interruptions demagogues, we must warn the Democrats and Conservatives to be on their guard, aud see that a fair election is held Mccormick and his packers will stop at noth- ing to accomplish their ends, and woe is ours should they succeed. His counsel to his friends at Phoenix, to be sure and vote cer- tain Pima and Maricopa Indians for him, ought to be enough to open the eyes of our people to the frauds he intends to practice. Citizens of Arizona, watch we'll the polls on election day, and be sure that TO illegal votes are deposited in the ballot box to defeat your wishes.
 By letters which we have received from James F. Buii, of Hardyyille, and ". c. PoindexteT, of La Paz we learn that the Governor, after begging every man he met in M0have county to vote for him, and meeting with the worst possible success, has gone down the river, on his way to Pima county. These gentlemen assure Us that in all Mohave county the Governor will not get ten votes Yuma county, it is admitted by all, will give Rush large majority, Yayapai will do better, and Pah- Ute, we hiak, will give NIT. Rush a fair vote. Pima county, we are satisfied, is not base enough to forego principles and vote for the Capital peddler; sine has used him to accomplish certain purpose, and will, we believe, vote according to the dictates of her conscience. We have too much faith in, and respect for, the political honesty and integrity of her people to allow ourself to think, fol one moment, that they will vote for dis guised Radical, who is afraid or ashamed tC avow his principles. Democrats of Pima stick to the ancient and time-honored princi ples of your party, and vote for John A. Rush who is trus Democrat and good citizen Let not the syren voice of the Governor charm you into his support. You have higher duty to perform than voting for Rich ard c. Mccormick, a man who does not cart straw for the Territory, and who is anxious to leave it with certificate of election in hi, pocket. Remember bis confederates, Poston Goodwin and BashforG. and ask yourselve what they have done for the Territory, anC remember that our present Governor is anx ious to follow in their footsteps Do not bt seduced by fair promises, but vote for Johr Rush, man who will not, like the ''outfit' delegates, throw off on us as soon as he i, elected.

TnE Governor makes it a point to tune his Tyre to suit the citizens of every town and settlement he visits At La Lag, he told them that if they would send him Co Congcss he would Clay IIardyyile out cold by hav- ing an appropriation made to build a splen
 did wagon-road from La Paz 10 Prescott
 What bosh the road from La Paz to this place is one of the best in the world and it is not very long since be tried to put q cloud upon it by. laboring, through his paper, to turn the travel, rid. the Ilardyville road and sneering at La Paz Here in Prescott, he was mighty careful not to express choice of railroad routes, although we know he has labored for the adoption of the 32d parallel route. At Arizona City and on the Gila he denies having gone to Sonora to try and make arrangements with the authorities of that State to turn the trade to Guaymas and Tucson
 He has, we are told, promised sutlerships and commissions in the new regiment (which will never be raised, to every doubtful, re- luctant supporter of Richard c. in the Terri tory, Indian Superintendencies, and other fat offices are promised by him with reck- lessness never before shown by q small official. | He pledges his word to Democrats that he is | Democrat, and, to Radical, he swears | that he swallows and indorses everything ever said and done by the majority in Con- gress, which no doubt, he does, and would. doubtless, indorse and uphold the acts and 
 words of the majority, in any other Congress, of whatsoever party it might be composed for the attainment of his own selfish ends
 Voters of Arizona, can you afford to vote for l this man, who has no interest in common with you, who despises your plain, straight forward manners, who came here expressly to return East with certificate of election in his pocketl Remember that he wants tc go to Congress, not to advance your interests
 but for the salary, for the mileage for th,
 honor, and to fight the military authorities
 because they would not be dictated to by
 him, and see if you can afford to lose tw,
 years more in watching and fighting Indians
 and waiting for something to turn up. H.
 talks long and loud about the immense influence
 he can bring to bear upon Congress and tn
 Departments, but why, we ask, has he no
 brought lUtle of it to bear during the las
 four years We take it that man wh
 would accept the position of Territorial Sec
 retary of Arizona, at the time Mir McCor mick snapped at it, could not be much of man East, else he could have obtained fat
 ter thing, nearer home. We implore ou
 people to be careful in choosing a Delegat this time. Governor Mccormick has som good qualities of heart, and, in knowledg discounts a fool, yet he is not of us nor wit
 us, and will not do to trust. His enemies a Washington, who are many and bitter, would
 even if he desired to benefit the Territory prevent his doing us any good. Le us then unite upon John A. Rush, elect hin and our word for it, we will never regret it.

PREscoTT, Arizona, May %, 1868 To Vim. J. Berry, Esq.
 Si.-I am informed that at the Peoples Convention held in Prescott the 10th inst. of which you were Chairman, received the nomination for Supervisor. While thanking the members for the partiality shown, re- spectfully decline the nomination. My po- litical sentiments are well known in this community. My whole sympathics are with the Republican party, and so long as party lines are drawn in our midst, 1 must act as a Republican, or not act at all. For two years, this party has preserved its organization. and deem it bad policy 10 countenance any movement which tends to disorganize and break up the party. Believing that the Peoples party (so-called) has this tendency, cannot consistently allow my name to be used in connection with it.
 Iremain, yours, with great respect,
 F.. DARLING.

So they go, and so they will continue to go, until but the names of three or four simon pure, devoted followers of l, Richard c. are all that will remain on the Peoples ticket" For fear these might weaken before election, and take in their sign, we counsel them to be of good cheer, and keep in mind the promises made them by His ExcellencY. He will llfulfll them--over the left.
Arizona miner., 1868-05-23

+ there is any one thing more than an- liever in the doctrines of the Republican party, that thing is to hear men who have never been looked upon as sound on the goose talk glibly of their devotion to that party and of their right to control it, when it is we'll known that they, at best, are but quasi Republicans, and have been burden on the party ever since they joined it. We can imagine how grinding it must be to old line Republicans to have these tender-footed nondescripts attempt to override and push them into the background. We can point out at least one Peoples party candi- date who was at one time, or pretended to be, a stiff "secesh " Democrat; then he changed his base, and saddled himself upon the Re- publican party, run for office several times, and, of course, got beat. He has once more Topped, and now talks "fuidly" against the drawing of party lines, but wants everybody to join the Peoples party What has caused this last change? Has he been warped by ! promises from the little statesman" or an | inordinate desire to run for office
 We have been led to make these remarks by rfading the communications in relation to the split in the Republican Committee, and thl failure of the Committees of both parties to agree upon and nominate ticket, which 'lppear upon the outside of this paper and to which we direct attention. They are self explanatory.

PLAII ING it Low Down The Governor, we are told, approaches men who he knows, dislike him, and with tears in his eyes, begs them to overlook his former course, and vote for him this time, and he will never trouble them again.

LET the friends of Mir Dent remember that McCormick's MINER always made it q point to sheer at MT.

REMr1BrR that the County Democratic ticket, which appears at the head of this paper, will be supported by every true Dem ocrat and honest Republican in Yavapai county. A cry is being raised, by interested parties, against some men on the ticket, but it will avail them naught. Itisa good ticket, and not one name on it should be scratched.

McCoRMcK, in roundabout way, acknowl- edges his wrong acts, and asks the people to forgive him for them, and he will do so no more, "no never," but the people reason rightly when they say that man in position who once betrays the trust reposed in him, to advance his OVID selfish schemes, will do so again whenever opportunity offers.
