 No they are not. The history of the Bsnner has often been told, and is a very simple ens. Woed- ruff owned the Gazetie, the only democratic paper la this place. and looked upon the organ of the party. He became dcfaal.cr and applied to de- nocratc legislature for relief hui not having the editor proofs of thejasiice petition before their eyes, they refosed him relief This was the case in successive Legislatures He applied to the cour.s-the judges, the jury, the supreme eoaft and all sustained the declaration of the first Legislature which took cognizance of if. The con- sequence was. the owner of the Gazette cursed the democratic party. the democratic legislatures and democratic judges who sat in his case, and asserting that he woulI Ongor gIye aid and comfort to his enemies. sold out the paper which they had sUpPor- tod for years good wilt" subscription list, and u to the whigs
 The party who had so faithfully supported this concern were aslounded 10 find themselves thrown at once into the hands of their bitter opponents This print was making It's insidioas inroads into every nook and corner of the State, and It became ncces- sary organize and countersct its iauencc. At ihe cnnyeniion succeeding this betrayal. steps were taken to establish paper. committee sp- pointed and in due time the "Arkansas Banner" was thrown to the breeze, the organ of the party to take the place of the Gazette and correct if pos sble the evil effects perpetrated by the Arnold of his party. II was supposed that money would be subscribed at the convention sufficient to purchase the press required. but failing in this Messrs Sevcr and Cross. m connection with the lau,ented Futon advanced the funds necessary for it's purchase, which was done and the "Banner" came out.

 Question No ?. reads thus
 Did not those gentlemen place you in charge of it, aad can they not turn you out, whenever you prove refractory or fail to their purposes9
 Those gentlemen did not place me in charge of it. Were 10 turn whig attempt 10 soil out the paper to the whgs, did Woodruff have not the slightest doubt as democrats, they would use their infiu- ence, with those concerned, to have it taken fren my hands. As should justly deserve by such not only to be deprived of it, but to receive the scorn and contempt of every honest democrat.
 The third question is--
 sIf they require you to do dsllonorahle act, arc you not bound to do it, or abdicate the tripod?"
 don't know! They never required 1t, and are not the men likely to exact anything unTeason- able, even had they inc right. We, al least, have never experienced anything of the kind at their hands. If they desired anything of the kind, however. anything interruptions or dishonoroble, they would be much more certain of success by applying to the editor of the Democrat.
