It IS, or should be, need less to proclaim to an enlightened public that in Arizona the movement is premature and not premature alone, but in consequence, sub yersive of an united sentiment which should prevail throughout the Territory and detrl" mental to every interest of the country Hold ing this viev of the matter, then, we can hard ly arrive at the conclusion that the motives which have influenced the establishment of A. party line in Arizona have for their object either the aggrandizement of the mass, the so- cial preferment of any. community, or the ad" vaucement of the country's interests, Ask any one of the Many Democrats" by whom the Democratic Convention of to-day has been called, where lies the necessity of arousing this partisan spirit, and he will tell you that ''the time has come when it is necessary that we or ganize :" that "New Mexico has had her party organizations for gears, and that if Arizona would ever mingle in politics it IS now time that she learn to distinguish between parties aud prepare for the great political issues which must follow her admission as State; but all this does not constitute anything approaching necessity of faction and consequently your ques- ton remains unanswered. It Is a mistake to suppose that the time has come at which party distinction is necessary,-an unfortunate, de- plorable mistake. We have no politics al voice outside the Territory nor are welikey to have for years while within our Territory no field q A demands that we act in concert taat with u- nited efforts we seek to overcome the countless obstacles which retard the settlement of our valleys and tue development of our mines, and that minor personal considerations be sae- rifced to couutrys cause.
 Nor is polite tha: we take example from New Mexico for the reason that We should be, and are, capable of deciding among ourselves how best to promote the interests ofo Territory and t Is moreover an acknowledged truth, that our representatives are not, and never h ave been, of an order of intelligence inferior ic that of those who represent our neighbors.

 Mir, A. Ellers, an assistant of the U. 5. Commissioner of Mining, has but just started for Arizona and New Mexico. Tn this Instance, the lateness of the season will Do favorable, as the best period for travelling in Arizona will be from October onward Wa are glad that Arizona IS to receive the official attention Of the Commissioners this year + has been unaVoidably neglected hitherto; bu, its great though comparatively uuexplored, mineral resources demand examination; and doubtlessit 1t is in this direction that we smay look for new and valuable discoveries here after Moreover, Mir. Mccormick, the dele gate from Arizona to Congress has earned for his territory the right to such official atten tIon, by hls persevering, earnest, and eloquent efforts to interest Congress and the Govern. nent ln the work of geological explorations aud statistical reports throughout our vast metaihterons public domain. To hird, as murb as to any one man, is due the renewed appro- PFistion by Congress for the collection of sta tlshe ot mines and mining. It is true, the um IS smaller than it ought to be; out 1t would have been smalier-tha; is to say nothing at Ali--but for the spirited course of fes vide awake men like Johnson of California.
