The Arkansas banner., 1846-04-01

and solicit for it wide circulation. The increase in the circulation of the Banner in the North, since we have issued il on Tues days, for that portion of the State, has been flattering to our ambition, and gratifying to our feelings, to an extent that, perhaps, we could not we'll have anticipated, from so slight cause. However, we shall endeavor to continue our exerlions, 10 merit the kind expressions attributed to us already; and il possible. make the Banner more interesting and valuable to our patrons.
 We regret to learn that, the limited circu lation of the Banner in the North, IS mainly attributable to the want of Post offices, and other mail facilities and not to the true and warm hearted democrats to subscribe for il they want it, but there is no certain mode of convey ance by which they could receive it, and therefore, have to deny themselves the privilege, that is afforded 10 other sections of the Stale, the right of taking newspaper.
 We call the attention of our delegation in Congress to the rights of the North, and, that her interest be no longer neglected or over looked, in the establishment of Post off ces in proportion 10 its population with other sections of the State-and, in making this call, we are assured, from the reasonableness of the demand, that it will receive the undi- l
 vded and prompt attention of our delegation. and, that justice to this section of the State. be no longer delayed.
 As to the inquiry about the practcability of reduction in the subscription price ofthe Banner to 3 or 25$, ii cannot be done, and the paper sustained. The annual expenses of the Banner office, for materials sufficient for it's present circulation, labor and house. rent,-being abont $3D00 It is true, that the editor of the Gazette, has reduced the price of subscription 10 2{S, but, we believe now, as we did at the time be made his de- termination known 10 us, that he cannot sustain himself, in the publication of it at the present reduced price; but, will be compelled ultimately, to fall back to his former price No newspaper, of the size of the Gazette or the Banner, can be published in Arkansas, al the present prices oflabor and materials, wit the limited circulation of either of these papers, (which is perhaps, double that of any other papers in the State) for 2S, even i every subscriber paid in advance. However
 in few years, perhaps, such change coult be made, that would ,prove successful, ant we have but lite donbt but that it will b, so-hut not until they have circulation O 2000 or3000 copies per week, and payments even then, would have 10 be made in ad vance.
 Democrats of the North East counties, il consideration of the limited circulation of ou paper amongst you, we ask your influence and solicit your kind aid to sustain the OR GAN of your party. The Banner has sine its establishment, fought for democratic prin
 ciples, regardless of men, or of their sectiona
 position for office. Its course will be un [. changed, solely relying upon the virtue an
 intelligence oithe democratic party, to poin
 out the men that they desire to serve them i
 political life, or official stations. Will tn
 North be more backward than other sectior of the State? She will not She has evt ' asserted and sustained at the ballot box vii . her voice, the principles of true democracy and we are assured now that her patronag
 and influence will not be denied us
