s'HELENA HER ALD.n

YVyHlS Paper under the auspices of the l Proprietor who has had the most fiat tering assurances of successful patronage. will be Edited by J. F.. GRAHAM, Esq and printed by c. $. SMITH & JAMES LIND. SAY.
 1t will be the object and solicitude of the Editor, in conformity with the inter- est and wishes of the Proprietor, (who will necessarily be absent for some months) to make the Herald as useful a vehicle of information and intelligence as possible. generally, as well as to advance the agricultural, mechanical, and com mercial interests of the Territory, parti- cularly. In the proper discharge of his duties, 1t Is scarcely possible, in these times of political discord, for the Editor to remain imperyious to it's influence, and to avoid occasional collisions. 1t is his principle never to shun any responsibility involved in the developement of truth; but, whenever denunciatlon IS deemed proper, he will conscienciously regard measures, and not men, as his object of attack, and yigilantly guard againat all personal inyectiye, aud scurrilous abuse. It will readily be inferred, that the Her aid Is not intended as a party-paper, nor can 1t be devoted to the interest ef ,r..6 party, except in accordance with the prin- ciples by which itself Is designed to be controlled These are the Republican principles which triumphed in 1901, in tho election of Thomas Jefferson, and which has eversince secured for the people their right of supremacy. But, however spe- cious any system of political policy may be. when it IS known to have for it's sole object the monopolizing interest of any individual; or any party, this paper, for one,( (even if it be devoted 10 the principles of such system, can never be made sub sidiary to the intriguing party. The pre- sent administration shall in the main re- ceive it's steady support, while it confines itself to the doctrines of the fathers of our Republican institutions. It has had it's defects. They have been, however, of that grade as to find excuse not so much in the treachery, as in the fallibility Of hu- man nature, and they are humbIy deemed to be ephemeral in their tendency. Tho most important trusts coBfided by the Go- syernm c it to the present Chief hi agistratc, have never been by him willfully disra- garded.
 It shall 5 6 the constant t. aim of the Edi- tor to make the Herald acceptable to the community generally; and if any thing in its columns may be discovered iii inadapiei to the taste of some, he hopes they may have charity enough to believe, it may an- swer that of some others of his patrons But however diversified it's columns may appear, nothing of that character shall he detected, incompatible with the strictest rules of morality and decorum.
 With these outlines of the Paper before the public, 1t will be ushered forth with confidence in it's increasing patronage generally, But when 1t is considered that it is the only paper in the whole Territory of Arkansas OF the bank of the Mississlp- pi, having the advantages of daily arrivals by Steam Boats from the North, the East, and the South, 1t must strike the citizens of the Territory with an unerring conyic- tion that intelligence from hhose quarters through Mis office will reach them severdI (yes ojien ten) dogs earlier than through the ordinary channels. The Editor for this, as well as other considerations as to local importance, upon which the limits of a prospectus viii not permit to descant, will therefore expect tine literary and intelli- gent of the Territory particularly to favor his enterprise.
