Year: 1868

Governor of this Territory, would be our next | Delegate at Washington City, we have, from | motives that may be easily divined by the ! people of the Territory, reirained. since the l result of the contest was made known to us from noticing the man and his clique of shod |. dyites. except upon occasions when it became 1 actually necessary for us Co do so, and in spite of an inward monitor that keeps constantly telling us ;o unmask the windy hypocrte, l we would not now say one word about him, were 1t not for the abuse and yillhcatiOn heaped upon us by hs organ-that dingy, discourteous, lying, scnselcss newspaper abor- tion-the Tucson Ariz0Rfda, the Ostensible editor of which belongs to and is entirely controlled by the Governor and his clique.

 Those who know ss will bear witness to the fact that it IS not our nature to quarrel with and try to injurc any man or set of men, but knowing the hypocrisy, deceit, meanness of soul and grasping ambition of our Cover nor, and occupying the position of public journalist our duty to God, our readers and the Territory compelled us to labor earnestly for his defeat at the ballot-box, and we leave is those who know and have watched his per sonal and political career in this Territory to judge whether or not we have been too severe upon him.

 It is now nearly three months since the election took place, and during all that time, the crawling drones who run the Aris0HiGH have been gathering bile, gall and wormood sufficient, in their opinions, to forever lay us out cold. But their vials of wrath have been emptied upon our head and have not hurt us the least mite. The anmus of their attacks is too plain, yituperative and virulent and no honest, sensible man believes a word they say. Instead of injuring us, the virus will flow back into the fostering carcasses of the hirelings who emitted it.

 No doubt, we are an obstruction in the path of Mccormick and his satellites, else they would not fill one whole page of the or gan with misrepresentation and abuse of us. The MINER is above and beyond their reach, and, with Gods help, it will live and flourish long after Mccormick and Co.,, will have left the Territory for the TerTitory's good, not withstanding the assertions and wishes of its puny rival.

 We had thought that the great Territory of Arizona was large enough for two small newspapers, but it seems Mccormick and his organ do not think so; they want the MISER to die, in fact, say It is dead or dying now, but, somehow or other, nobody but the clique can see it. They want to re-establish the dark age" when but ons paper was publish ed in the Territory. and that one was owned and edited by His Excellency, but that time will never return again.

 After direct offers of bribes, honeyed words of soft solder and childish implorations failed to secure our support for His Accidency. he waxes wroth and threatens US with the fate of the La Paz Gazette, immediately, if not sooner, when he says, through his organ, that he intends to treat the MINER just as he treat ed that paper while it lived, with silent con bxr b. q ,t @l J n,. he recollect how mean, low flung and coward ly he treated the Gd-etie after he became sat. isfied that it was dead If not, we do. Ht rushed to his sanctum, searched for and found couplet which, he thought suited the cas, exactly rushed back to the office and passed it 10 the foreman, while his usually downcas eyes and sallow visage glittered and glaret with delight at the ruin of brother editor who was moreover an honest, honorable, indus trious young man. Lacking the manlness t, combat it's charges while living, he was not slow to give its editor a stab when no means of de fence were left him. But the vile viper anC his minions need not look for such a result t, befall the MINER sooD, unless they hire som black-hearted scoundrel to burn it.

 We will now take up, in detail, and dispos of, the falsehoods, islanders, etc. which fl nearly all the reading columns of the Arizo aiaa of the Huh inst:

 Before the election the plan of the MINE was to originate some outrageous falsehood, an argue against the Governor therefrom in a mar ner at once plausible and infamous with an apps rent purpose to deceive with cool atrocious q, liberation. It is not SO cool in its deception since election but just as interruptions. For 1T stance, an attempt is made in the number for Jun 27-to show that because the Governor did nc carry Yavapai, Mohaye or Yuma counties, be not popular with the people and has no oecasio to be proud of his vote"

 The organ forgets to tell it's readers tha the Governor failed to carry Pah-ute county too, but that is quite natural as by doing $ t would also add its testimony to the Cover nor's unpopularity among the white people ( the Territory. We defy Mccormick, tn balance of the scribblers for the organ, an the corrupt gang who draw inspiration fror him to disproye the charges made against hin Every man of sense in the Territory know that his Excellency is unpopular wherever h is known, and but for his selling out on th capital question to Pima county, the aid ( the military south of the Gila, the a. sistance of the Steamboat Company, Hoope 6s Co.,, and Mexican voters" from Sonora, h would not now be in possession of the certif cate. He Is popular only with the Mexican and if they only knew his real sentiments fc their race his popularity would soon be at low ebb among them. People outside of th Territory will understand how easy it wa for Governor Mccormick to get seven C eight hundred votes from a people who not understand our language, who are no citizens, and who march up to the polls vote just as their white herders desire

 The poor, ignorant dupes were led to be lieye that, should Rush be elected, the whit people north of the Gila would drive then
