 4 the Arkansas Journal, at Helena, Arkansas the publication of the same will be continued by its present publisher and proprietor, Mir I'm. Biren; and he hopes that all those who have heretofore giv the Journal theirsupport will still continue their friendly patronage In essaying to edit political
 osrnal. the undersigned is fully of the ardu- ous duties that will devoiye upon him, and he in- tends to conduct the Joufnai in that manner that will justly commend itself to the liberal and enlght- ened of all parties, and free from that acrmony and bitter parizan strife thaeharaetelize too many jour- nals of the present day.
 The politics of the Journal will be democratic, and while the editor will feaftessly and boldly ad- yocate those principles, held sacred by the great party to which he belongs. he will at all times, be courteous and respectful to those differing with him in sentiment, believing the democratic party have nothing to fear from error, when reason and truth are leit free to combat with it. He will advocate strict construction of the Constitution believing that inroads upon that instrument, whenever and by wfomsoever sanctioned, are dangerous in the ex- treme. He will also oppose the amendments pro- posed to the Constitution by the Clay party to-wit the abolition of the veto power, which is the great conservative principle in our government and placed there by the collected wisdom and patriotism of the purest and best patriots that ever lived He is also opposed to the protective tariff and will advocate such rate of duties as will secure sufficient reye- nue ioran economical administration of government
 Believing that the Constitution of the United States does not authorize the establishment of Ma tional Bank, the Editor will feel himself bound to protest against the establishment of any such insti tuition for history is said to be philosophy, teaching by example, and let the fate and history of the late United states Bank speak an admonition never to be forgotten. He is opposed to the mammoth scheme of the assumption of the State Debts by the Federal Government, both on the score of its mon- strous injustice and it's palpabe violation ofthc Con- stitution.
 In regard to the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands amongst the several States the Editor will be bound to oppose l. believing it to be unjust to the new States and well calculated if once adopt ed, to retard their growth and population. He will advocate the graduation of the price of the public lands to actual settlers and extension the pre- emption laws. In short, the undersigned intends to make the Journal as useful as his capacity will per- nit in promoting the great cardinal principles of the democratic party, and that he will zealously cooperate with the ARKANSAS BANNER in the es- tabiishment and defence of those principles upon which rests the integrity, harmony, union and per petuitY of our Government. He will at all times defend his party from unjust attacks, come from what quarter they may and rebuke any effort made to distract and divide them, either by enemies in disguise, or open opponents He will support the nominees of the Baltimore Convention, to be held ln May next for President and Vice President.
 The utmost care will be used to make the Journal interesting to every class readers
