ssHELENA HERALD.',

THIS Paper under the auspices of the
 1 Proprietor who has had the most tiaL- fering assurances of successful patronage, will be Edited by ]. F.. GR IMAM, Esq and printed by c. s. SMITH & JAMES LIND SAY.
 It 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 months1 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, pGSti- cutariy In the proper discharge of his duties, 1t is scarcely possible. III these times of political discord, for the Editor to remain impervlous to it's influence, and to avoid occasional collisions. 1t IS his principle never to shun any responsibility involved in the development of truth; but, whenever denunciatIon Is deemed proper, he will consciencionsly regard measures, and not men, as his object of attack, and vigiiantly guard against all personal invectlye, and scurrlious abuse 1t will readily Dc inferred, that the Her. aid is not intended as party paper, nor can t be devoted 10 the interest of aag 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 the election Of Thomas Jefferson, and which has ever since secured for the people their right of supremacy. But, however spe- cious any system of political policy may be. when II is known to have for its sole object the monopolizing interest of any individual; or any party. this paper, for one.l even if it be devoted to the principles of such system,) can neyer be made sub sidiary to tho 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. 1t has had its defects. They have been, however, of that grade as to find excuse not so much in the treachery, as in the faliibility of hu- man nature, and they are hnmbly deemed to be ephemeraI in their tendency. The most important trusts coHfded by the Go- vernment to the present Chief Magistrate. have never been by hun willfully disre- Earded.
 It shall be the constant aim of the Edi- tor to make the Herald acceptable to the community generally; and if any thing in its columns may be discovered uHadapted to the taste of some, he hopes they may hare charity enough io.beiieve, 1t may an swer that of some otheW of his patrons But however diversified its columns may appear, nothing of that character shall be detected, incompatible with tae strictest rules of morality and decoruns
 With these outlines Of the Paper before the public, it will be ushered forth with 1 confidence in it's increasing patronage i generally. But when 1t is considered that | 1t IS the oniy paper in the whole ferritory l of Arkansas on the bank of the Mississip- pi, having the advantages of daily arrivals 1 by Steam Boats from the North. the East, aud the South, it must strike the citizens of the Territory with an unerring convic- ton that intelligence from those quarters through this office will reach them seperal (yes of2en ten) days earlier than through the ordinary channels. The Editor for fhis. as well as other considerations as 10 local importance, upon which the limits of prospectus will not permit to descant, will therefore expect the literary and intelli- gent of the Territory particularly to favor his enterprise.
