 It looks as though the de mocratic majority in the constitutional con yention assume to have all the in- telligence of the territory. They do not seem to manifest a disposi- tion to submit anything to the voice of the people that does not suit their own opinions. As any arti- cle may be submitted alone, 1t would be well for the convention to allow an expression of the people on the test oath.

 The Phenix Republican allows its enthusiasm to get the better of its judgment occasionally. In a recent issue it stated that Arizona, if ad- mitted as a state now, would be re- publican in politics. and that within five years Phenix would have a popu- lation of 5000 people.
