 As the above title sets forth, the Democra- tie party of Arkansas, acting through the Central Committee appointed for the purpose, have established "THE BANNER,n which is designed to be, and will be, the organ of the party and, by explaining, advocating, and defending the fundamental principles, and consequent policy, of the Democratic party, will contribute to the establishment and maintenance of good government.
 1.-THE BANNER" was commenced on the 18th of September last, and has now reached it's l2th number. The services of an Edi- tor, whose name stands at the head of its columns, have been secured; and the publi- cation now stands on permanent and iavo- rable foundation, and comments itself to the confidence and support of all who desire the welfare of the Democratic party, and that It's principles may be disseminated through the country, and faithfully sustained All admit the necessity of newspapers, 10 any party, for the purpose of placing their prin- ciples and policy fairly and extensively be- fore the public, of defending them against misconception and misrepresentaton,- for the purpose of keeping bright and strong those bonds of harmony and good under standing, by which alone proper union and efficient organization can be secured.
 Impressed with these considerations and 10 attain these desirable and necessary ends, for the Democratic party, sThe Ban- nern has been established Will not the Democrats sustain iti The Wings have taco organs at the seat of government Will the Democrats not have one 2 It is believed that they will and that they will sustain il libe- rally. The following is brief summary of what the Editor of the Banner understands. and will maintain, as the creed of the Demo- cratic party:
 The epeople the only source of legitimate power.
 The freedom, sovereignty, and independence of the respective States
 The Constitution of the Union, special grant of powers. limited and definite.
 The Representative to obey the instructions of the constituents.
 Elections free, and suffrage universal.
 No taxation beyond the necessary wants of an nomical administration of the government
 No favored classes, and no monopolies.
 These are fundamental principles, and in their practical application to the purposes of good government they deny to the General Government the power to establish a Nation Bank,-to impose 1'ui6 of Protectice du- ties,-to make ''nternal improvements with in any State, except for purposes clearly ne cessary and national, ito use, for any other purpose than its own necessary expenses, the money arising from the sales of the pub lie lands,-or to assume or pay any of the debts ofany of the individual States.
 From the foregoing, il will be readily un- derstood what will be the course of the ssBan- ner," in relation to general politics. As to the administration of the State Government bearing in mind the same general principles, it will contend for economy, fidelity. and strict accountability to the people, on the part of every public officer. It will insist that all men holding office shall be [" honest, capable, and faithful to the Constitution , So much for politics.
 In regard to the other, more special, inte- rests of society, such as Morals, Education, Agriculture, and the Mechanic Arts, the Edit or, hopes to render the s' Banner7 an active and efficient colaborer with all good men, for the welfare of the country. Thus, to the ge- neral reader, of whatever pursuit in life, as well as to the politician, the Banner' will endeavor to render itself interesting and use- ful. For the man of business il will contain the latest and most important intelligence and, on account of it's extensive circulation, will be very favorable medium of adyer- Using.
 With these general remarks, ]. is submitted to the observation, and commended to the good will of the public. Its future numbers must be looked to, for the manner in which the Editor may perform his duties.
