PROSPECTUS
OF THE ARKANSAS WING,

THE subscriber proposes 10 commence. ut this
l. city, abou, the lsl of May next, the pubca.
ton of a weekly newspaper, TO be called tho
ARKANSAS Wing.
he political character Of the Wing is intended
to be just what its name purports. The Wing 10
designed TO be the organ through which the prin-
cipes 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 medium of communication
with the people has long been felt at this point,
and it Is believed by many that the time has fully
arrived when this want should De supplied. A
canvass is approaching when every effort will be
made by our opponents to wrest the Executive
Department of the Government from the u6u-
ence Of Wing councils; aud we are 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 the Republic 10 pre-
serve the ascendancy of Wing principles, that
they may guide our country steadily, safely aud
triumphanily upward AID onward TO the high
destiny which the continued ascendancy Of Wing
councils will enable her 10 attain. -..r
There is another consideration which many
urge as AN iuducement 10 this move at the present
tune: From the earliest period Of our history as
State, the Democracy have been in power, and So
little of good has been effected and so much Of evil
have been rife, it is believed tha, if BY means
of Wing press, true exposition of matters apd
things should be made, though the Wing party
may be largely in the minority, honest men enough
might be convinced Of the necessity Of a change TO
enable the Wings to obtain the ascendancy for tho
purpose Of putting an end TO misrule, and ighten-
ing the burdens Of the people.
Arrangements are in progress to secure, for the
Editorial Department Of the Wig, the services
of those fully competent to make its course salts
factory to lis patrons and the party.
No effort will be spared to make the Wig, as a
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 as the largest sheet
in the State, AID will be printed on fine white
paper, with and clear type. The Publisher,
oeing practical printer. and having thorough
knowledge OF the business, 'stakes his all" upon
the enterprise, and pledges himself to make the
Whsg the model paper Of Arkansas. ',
