PROSPECTUS
OF THE ARKANSAS WING.

TNtIE subscriber proposes to commence. at this
J. city, abou. the LIST Of May next, the publica-
ton of a weekly newspaper, Ia be called the
ARKANSAS WHIG.
The political character OF the Wing is intended
to be just what its name purports. The Wing is
designed TO be the organ through which the prin-
cjples of the party may be promulgated, defended
and enforced aud in the columns Of which the
members Of the Wing party can have fair show
before the public.
The want of such a medium Of communication
with the people has long been felt at this point,
and it is believed by many that tie time has iuy
arrived when this want should be supplied. "A
canvass is approaching when every effort viii be
made by our opponents to wrest the EAScutlve
Department Of the Government from the inIiJ-
ence of Wing councils; and we are called upon,
by every sentiment Of patriotism, to cast in our
mite, though small it may be here in Arkansas, in
support OF the efforts to be made by our political
brethren in other portions of the Republic, to pre-
serve the ascendancy of Wing principles, that
they may guide our country steadily, safely and
triumphantly upward and onward to the high
destiny which the continued ascendapcy Of Wing
councils will enable her to attain.
There is another nsderat:on which many
urge an nducement to this move at the present
time: From the earliest period OF our history
State, the Democracy have been in power, and 3,
little of good has been effected, and much Of evil
have been rife, it is believed that if, by means
| of Wing press, true exposition Of matters and
things should be made, though the Whig party
may be largely in the minority, honest men enough
might be convinced of the necessity of change to
enable the Wings to obtain the ascendancy for the
purpose Of putting an end to misruLe, and tighten
ing the bardens Of the people.
Arrangements are in progress to secure, for the
Editorial Department of the Wing, the services
Of those fully competent to make It's course salts
factory to its patrons and the party.
No effort will be spared to make the Wing, as
newspaper, valuable to all its readers, and useful
in its different departments, TO all the various
interests of the community
The Wing will be as large the largest sheet
in the State, AID will be printed fine white
paper, with new and clear type. The Publisher,
oeng e practical printer, and having thorough
knowledge of the business, "stakes his a' upon
the enterprise, and pledges himself to make the
Wing the model paper of Arkansas.
