 VIE undersigned proposes to publish ifi
 < the town of Helena, Ark. Fer. week. Y newspaper, to be styled ss 1he C0Hsfiia- floAal JoArpai. iI presenting lis eisisaa to the feiiasc Of Che public, lie can, in ass- vance dc nothing mere tian to promise on5 5hfs part, his most faith U exartions to render llis paper q vehicle of useful and entoftaining knowledge.
 ltis fact, sadly attested by past expeai- ence, that the character os tle prezs haa Ear- taken too much of the bitterness and rauoosir of partizan feeling, which has unfortunately perfaaSd our whole county. h tho plest political canvass which has ag tated the ian9, iiilii I;ssSt s;siT - ture, seem to have been ieo frequently exer- eised; and ja sslass5gf cases. ? | alsregafl tla eeHftesies of social intercourse, hts been ts.s coaseqaeree.
 stuated as we are, no reason can be per- ceiYsd, why the people of Arkanrhs should bs- coma in any manner, party to the struggle tor power, which is now going on. 1t this time, they have no voice in the selection af . Chief Magistrate. and instead of wasting stfength.in controversy which, in any as- pset must prove anproiitabln to them. flaa en- ergies of us all should be united in the pro- motion of our peculiar and local interesis. Ne are seeking to become member of tho ereat eonfnderarY of tie United Sfatas, and to be placod upon afioquality with the nuve- reign States of the union--the right to tllis equality is guarantied to Us by the constitution of the United States, aud 1t shall ba the bf1si- ness oF the sJeuRs.sa to easscrt ard maintain it.
 No inan can cast flis eye oyor the map Of our Territory, without perceiQing the natnal advantages of our geographical position.-- Neaaaed en the east by tho mighty stfeaui, which has not iAupproFfately been termed the great Father 6i Waters. and three ether gfeatrlgera stretching esi their arms, through ! re9ien of unsurpassed fertility, with fhe countless lakes and naYigable bayets, which dot utmost every township, the truth forces itself npon us, that We have only to be t1ua to ourselves to attain tiie most cievnfed gratlo in tue seale of national prosperity. Fhestoelg and grain of the North, and the ereat staple ef the 5enth, produce anidentify, insteaa ef I diversity of interest, hetweef the different parts of our Territory. To cultivate d kind and brotherly feeling, and to deyelope the re- sources oi our " gele country, ie as obviously the ntereetof us all, IS 1t is gratifying to tho heaft of every true patfI8t and ,lll
 fhe Editor of the Journal will aelul5nHly aim to suppress all loealof sectional jeaIeasy. He has higher aims in tho establishment oi sa Raper, than to endeaYoar to array one portion ofthe community agninat another. HetAilixs that the time has arrived, when there should Be union of feeling. as there certainly isof interest, among all tho people of Afkanaaa. The general course of his paper will bn d. reutad to the promotien of what lie coneeivea to be the welfare of tlle whole Territory IHe pledges hiinsclfto aaveeatn whatever meaa- |ufe he believes to be rlght, regardless of the source of it's emanation, and to hold up to public scorn, tie corruption Of public Inen,no matter in whom found.
