As the above title scts forth, the Democra- tlc party of Arkansas, acting through the Central Committee appointed for the purpose, have established < THE BANNER" 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 p the establishment and maintenance of good government.
 ssTHE BANNER" was commenced on the 10th of September last, and has now reached its 18th number. The services of an Ed- tor, whose name stands at the head of it's columns, have been secured; and the publi- cation now stands on permanent and favo- rable foundation, and comments itself to the confidence and support of all who desire the welfare of the Democratic party, and that Its principles may be disseminated through the country, and faithfully sustained. All admit the necessity of newspapers, to any party, for the purpose of placing their prn- elples and policy fairly and extensively be- fore the public, of defending them against misconeeption and misrepresentation n,-and Tor the purpose of keeping bright and strong those bonds of harmony and good under slahaihg, by winch alone proper union and eihelent organization can be secured.
 Impressed with these considerations. and to attain these desirable and necessary ends, for the Democratic party, "The Ban ner" has been established. Will not the Democrats sustain it The Wings have t,ro organs at the seat of government. Will the Democrats not have one9 ltis believed that they will and that they will sustain it libe- rally. The following is a brief summary of what the Editor of the Banner understands. and will maintain, as the creed of the Demo cratic party
 The people the only sdurce of legitimate power,
 The freedom sovereignty, and independence of the respective States.
 The Constitution of the Union. special grant oi p6wers limited and definite
 The Representative to obey the instructions oi the constituents.
 Eiectons free, and suffrage universal.

TO SUBSCRIBERS.


 The Cash System of payment is indispensable to the existence of work of this character which is published at very heavy expense, and furnishes to its subscribers from 50 to 100 per cent more matter than any other American periodical. It cannot be forwarded hereafter to any persons continuing still in arrears for past subscription.
 A heavy debt of arrearages stands on the books of the Review, which it is grevious and shameful Wroag, on the part of those who have received the work, to leave unpaid, whether from carlessness, procrastination or other cause A debt of this na- ture is Debt o Honor inasmuch as their individual minuteness and wide diffusion make it impossible to appeal to any other mode of collection than the honor of the subscriber The payment of these arrearages is of vital importance and necessity to the work; and immediate attention to this duty is earnestly and respectfully solicited by the Publishers. To individuals unable to comply with this request, it is suggested that they may discharge themselves from years subscription by procuring three new subscribers and enclosing fifteen dollars for the same through the Postmaster
