PROSPECTUS
OF THE ARKANSAS WHIG.

FtAf1E subscriber proposes to commence. at this
i city. about the LIST Of May next, the pnblica-
ton of weekly newspaper, to be called the
ARKANSAS WING. eee
The political character of the Wing is intended
to be just what its name purports. The Wing Is
designed 10 be the organ through which the prin-
ciples Of the party may be promulgated, defended
and enforced. and in the columns Of which the
members of the Wing party can have fair show
before the public.
The waut of such medium Of commune alton
with the people has long been felt at this point,
and it is believed by many that the tins has fully
arrived when this want should oe supplied A
canvass is approaching when every effort will be
made by our opponents to wrest the Executive
Department OF the Government from the nhu-
ence Of Wing councils; and we called ppon,
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 lhe Republic, 10 pre-
serve the ascendancy Of Wing principles, that
they may guide our country steadily, safely and
,rumphantly upward and onward to the high
destiny which the continued ascendancy Of Whg
councils will enable her to attain.
There is another consideration which many
urge as an nducement to this move al the present
time: From the earliest period of our history
State, the Democracy have been in power, and so
little Of good has been effected aud much of ev
has been wrought-folly, favarlesm aud fraud
have been rife, it is believed that if, by means
Of "a Wing press, true exposition of matters and
thugs should be made, though the Whig party
may be largely in the minority honest men enough
might be convinced Of the necessity OF q change TO
enable the Wings to obtain the ascendancy for the
purpose Of putting an end to misru!e, and tighten
ing the burdens of the people.
Arrangements are in progress to secure, for the
Editorial Department OF the lYhig, the services
OF those fully competent to make Its course salts
factory to its patrons and the party.
No effort will be- spared to make the Wing, as a
newspaper. valuable to al its leaders, and useful,
in its different departments, to all the various
interests of the community.
The Whtg will be as large the largest sheet
in the State, AID will be printed on fine white
paper, with new and clear type. The Publisher
oeing practical printer, and having thorough

the enterprise, and pledges himself TO make the
