At the Democratic Club Meeting.

Hon. Murat Masterson had the bad judg
 ment last night al the Democratic club 10 read the national platform of the Republi- can and Democratic parties, and undertake Co institute a companson that would be fav- oIable 10 Democracy. He didn't seem to realize the utter impossIbilIty of such a work until he had got half through reading, when he saw he was lost and began to falter, trembe and turn pale. Hitherto he appears to have taken Brother Tucker word for the doctrines incucated in the two platforms, but now he was reading them himself, apparently for the first time, and was overwhelmed as by new revela- Ion. Possessed of an analytical mind he saw st glance that the task be had under taken was sn imp0ssIbilI,y. The Republi- can document he saw contained the true feundltion for perpetual government and glorious union, while Ihc Democratic m sirumenl, to his newly awakened vision, seemed but a curtain of gauge that but i'm perfectly hid the spectral ghost of disunIon and anarchy that stood but half concealed behind il. Again he essayed 10 read, but this time with even worse ;uccess than be- fore: now he came to that clause in the Gin cinnati platform where it is claimed that modern Democracy draws its inspiration from long line of 0 Id Democratic ''stiffs, '" who in tune past piloted the Ship of State onto the rocks of dIsunton and war. This was too much, and throwing the papers aside he clutched wildly al vacancy as if ke saw a dagger in the air, and then with a far away expression peered away of in la barynth of thought to where, in imagina ton, he saw the ghosts of these old stiffs in solemn procession bearing the corpse of Democracy to final sepuicher. All this was of course bewildenng, and caused awkward confusion iE his speech.and in order 10 break the spell he caugh up Hancok's letter of ac- Ct ceptance, but finding 1t contained nothing but glittering gereralIties, and that its author knew no more of the principles of Civil c jvernment than did those who made the platform on which he was nominated, that too was abandoned for the address of the Prescott Democracy. Here he found that sound, clear-headed business man was wanted for Delegate to Congress, and realizing that Stewart was the only man ruDning for the position that came any AheTe near filling the b.ll he rather con ;empiuor,ly cast, that aside said few words complimentary to the County can lidates, aud sat down exhausted and de- iectcd, with the air of a man who Lad de- ciined an opportunity to plead guilty to charge of simple assault, and upon trial been found guilty of murder in the first degree.

BIOGRAPHICAL.

At Republican meeting at Pinal City
 on the 4th inst, Hon. J. D. Reymart of that
 place made a speech, and among other
 things said:
 Now, who is Ouryl Take his history
 from Democrat print. have nothing to say of Oury except as a public candidate. ! Born in Virginia, emigratiDg to Pike coun- y, | Missouri, next to Texas, then 10 California,
 then to Arizona. No where dId he remain | bur d short tune, tiIl Tn ArIzona, in 1855, be ceased his wandeungs at the age of 30. One of his first prominent acts was 10 go, m the rear of the fillibuster CrabO, into Mex leo. Mr. Crabb, with 100 Americans, Gn- dertook to unseat Grandara, the legally elected Governor of Sonora, AS the adjunct of Pesquera, the Reyolutionist. CrabO and his followers were all killed, except Oury and f W more, who scrabbled back 10 I uc- son. He had been prOspector, miner and farmer. The rebellion broke out and he undertook to give Arizona away to Jetier- son Pett coat Davis, went into the Reb ] Congress, became Rebel Colonel, and re turned back 10 Tucson, where he assumed tho character of a lawyer, aud was elected Disirl,t Attorney. He ran for Congress on his own merit, and was defeated. He remov ed to phenix. From thence he removed 10 Florence, 10 become District Attorney of this county. So we have him, farmer, pros pector, miner, filibusier, politician, Rebel Congressman, warrior, and all the time an irrepressible office seeker. His song Is now "Carry Me Back 10 Old Nirginny.' The question occurs to us, Is he not of the Solid Soutbi Do VIC want h'm for the Representative of this booming, free Arl- zonai Ii he had succeeded with the Re belIion, this hopeful Territory would have been slave soil, ana our richest mines worked with slaves under the lash. Here would have been no room for you, toilIng, industrious miners, nor for any of the children of liberty. Is he a proper Repre- sentative for the MeX,can element among Us, whose native soil he invaded for spoil and piunderl Or shall we have :he Hon Madison W. Stewart, the solid business man, the man who is dear to the hearts of all men who know him, who comes with pure and unspotted patriotism to uphold the integrity and honor of our Ehol. coun try.

An Apt Scholar.

Hon Murat Masterson, taking his cue from the Democrat, cunningly distorted. the record last night when pretending to read the Republican National Platform. IL wiI not do to depend implicitly on the stupidity of even a Democratic audience at all times and, We Gare say, many an honest Democrat in that audence last night winced when tho speaker undertook 10 palm of as genuine a false version of the clause which says "slaV- efy having perished iD the States, its twin bauiy, po!ygamy, mus, die in the Territo' ries." distorted the language and made If say "Mormonism must die in the Territo- ries. thus initiating Brother Tucker in his endeayor to raise question of religious iu- tolerance. Now Nasterson nor Rush nor Tucker are naturally bad, they are fair and hOuest in Court and m the walks of business, but just let one of them mount a Demo cratic stump or straddle Democratic tri- ped and the very spirit of evil gets into them. and II seems impossible for them to keep from dist0rlng facts. They are not so much to blame as Ii Is R IOGgltion that seems 10 attach To the position and thes can't help ii, but paIpable attempt 10 mislevd his heafers by misieadlng the Re publican platform, we sqtni.t, js striking below the belt and Is foul.

 On the Emancipation Proclamation Of President Lincoln he remarked upon its ne cessiy as war measure, and wound up with the following brautitul peroration:

The Only DIrereLce.

In Charley Rush's Tuesday nigh; speech we were told :hat the only difference be tween the Republican party and the Demo cratic is upon the question of States rights, and that upon that question the Democracy are right and the Republicans wrong. The proposition Was iageuiousiy argued, but in order To make B good case, the speaker, like every Democratic orator and writer, had tO manufacture evidence, or in other words to tamper with tLe witness. lie said that through the oentraiizing influence of Re
 publican policy in making the general gov ernment superior in authority tO the State governments a great hardship was eniailed upon the people in the fact that if |. <
 Marshal O other Federal officer should commit a crime in Aulona he could de mand a trial in a [ 1itcd States Court, and if he had sufficient influence, could, by change of venue. have hs case removed Co Washington or elsewhere isr trial. The fault, in this instance, is Eat iB statement of fact, but i1 tA- inference that is sought to be conveyed IT, would have his hear CTS understand that in al. this ;hgfe is some thIng awia,y couup,iaa, and that the people afe ;o suffer ia consequence of it. wherea, hc knows, aai go does every one who has given the m.t.,. a thought, that it can make uo difference to the people on which side of the Count Federal officer is tired, except that in case he be tried in the |. & District Court, the Government, and not the people of the Territory, wit have to foot the bills; and as to the matter of a change of venue there is no sort of danger that an honest Judge is going 10 grant change, except for cause. Therefore IL Is plain that this objection to the policy of the Republican party is not made in good faith. or because there is any real objection to it in the mind of the speaker based up
 on his judgement or reason, but IS either raised for par,izan purposes or Is the result Q the worklngs of a prejudiced mind His elucIdatiun of the relative action and effect of the two antagonistic ideas on the govern ment ot the United States and of the h. divldual State was also calculated to mis
 lead the seeker after truth. He ignored
 entirely, the pernieIous effect of his States rights doctrine in setting the authority of each State or faction uf States over the au- thorIty ot the parent government, and passed
 without notice tAe experience of the past in the working, ot jAe doctrine of States
 rights and iis attempt to dis,olv, tue Union
 urposely, We must presume, avoiding the well known Republican principle that the States are not to be Interfered with Tn mattel.s Of legislation, eNcep1in ca,es where tha, legi, 'a;ion Is contrary to the consti- tuition of the United States or of the laws enacted thereunoer. Then, in that Case, a conflict of authority having arisen, the United States is superior 10 any State or faction of States.
 We write from memory, having taken no po,e> of hIs sfsumeat, aud are conscious of having overlooked several joints that ap
 pearei failacious at the time. which may be recalled In future.
