Arizona miner., 1868-01-18
The Arizonian and the Governor.

The Ari-oHian, a paper published at Tue son, has lately undergone some changes in size and appearance. It is now about two-thirds as large as the MINER, and is pretty well filled with reading matter. lis editor Sydney R. DeLong, Esq, gives his readers salutatory,' in the first number of the new series, in which he promises to ad- vocate the interests of Arizona Territory espqcialry Southern Arizona. He says he is controlled by no clique or party, and will en- deayor to tell the truth, thing we think him utterly incapable of doing when speaking of the largest and best portion of Arizona, 5 C. the region of country north of the Gila River. On national affairs he promises to keep mum, but it is pretty well understood that he is a Republican of pronounced type, and no doubt, believes in all the doctrines of that party, and will advocate them when op portunity offers. He promises to make his paper interesting and useful, and we hope he will, as there is plenty of room for two good papers in the Territory.
 Judging from the foregoing promises, a person unacquainted with the former course of that paper, and the working of affairs in the Territory, might draw the conclusion that the AI'is0Riaa would, henceforth, be conduct cd on the square, but we do not indulge in any such hope Its editor k controlled hy q clique of sharpers who would sell their Maker for wealth, power and placc-a set of schem- ing mendicants, who are ever ready to {" bend Al. l. .f. .I- follow Awning Their organ, the ArizonjuR, lies, wilfuly, in speaking of Northern Arizo- ma, and leaves no stone unturned to iniurg this section of country and the people who inhabit it, but its puny efforts 10 accomplish its cherished purpose will not prevail agains; us, as its brainess editor will soon find out We have no fault to find with it for advoca- ting the interests of its section, but, while doing SO. we think it's conductors should have the manlincss and honesty to tell the truth in relation to other sections of the Territory
 This is the second "salutatoryn Judg, De Long has sent forth through the column of the Ariz5HiaH On looking over the file of the MINER, we find an extract iron his first effort copied into it, and com mented upon by Governor R. c. Mccormick the then editor of the MINER The subjec under discussion, then, was the "Capita : question" and it would appear as if, at tha time, DeLong and Mccormick did not un derstand each other quite as we'll as they d now Since that time. however, the Cover nor has appeased the wrath of Pima count by aiding in the removal of the capital an taking up his abode in Tucson, and the edito of the .4.i-e..ign takes back all his for1ne "low filings and mean insinuations," aud be slobbers the little Statesman with fulsom praise for the part performed by him in aid ing and abetting the scheme by which th capital was removed from a central locatio in an inhabitable section of the Territory, { parched-up, good-for- nothing desert regio on the border of Sonora At the date these comments it will be seen that the Go1 ernor was able to give good and sufiicien reasons why the capital should remain whel it then was, but events soon after transpire which caused him to change his opinions ul on that subject, and he Topped clean over il to the arms of Sister Cacti, packed up h valise and, shaking the dust of Prescott fro the soles of his brogans,
 "Folded his tent like sn Arab,
 And silently stole away"
 Since his arrival in Tucson, he has bee feasted, toasted, and pufed for his recreanc until we suppose, he now feels that he is u biggest toad in the Tucson mud-puddl Hopes of being elected to Congress on a SC saw platform, nourish his ambitious mind AT strengthen his feeble frame, He is trying
 convince the people that his politics are of u conservative or neutral order, when, in realt if we are rightly informed, and we think V are, they are very similar to those enunciat by the Radical leaders. In spite of his ( forts to whitewash his former acts and idea the people look upon him as political tric ster of the lowest type. He has done h "level best n to injure the people of this V cnity, and our citizens have nothing to than him for, and need not expect any fayors fro
