 The CITIZEN is presented to the people of Arkansas as large in form as any Dem- ocratic weekly in the State. Although independent in all things, and neutral in nothing, it is emphatically
 FAMILY NEWSPAPER. And now ranks as one of the first in the State. The greatest care will be taken to make its selections choice and instructive. A new feature will soon be added by pub fishing story each week, or if too long, running it through two or three numbers. The political complexion of the Citizen is whitc-opposed to negro suffrage and a score of other Radical tenets, and while opposing them shall advocate the principle that white men should rale white men.
 In times of great political danger every man should take paper, and it is more than probable that the present year will witness more political excitement and ex- traordinary political events than any pre- yious one of our nationality. Let the people assist the CITIZEN by joining in and making up clubs, and they will there by render it a powerful auxiliary in their wartare against hateful negro suffrage and the many other evils the Radical party design thrusting upon the State.

Only ten years have elapsed since the dscovcrer, (who spent n decade in studying experiments, and perfect ing it,) first introduced it to the public, and il is already recognized by the most eminent physicians in all parts of the country to be the most surprising and effective remedy for certain diseases of which they have knowl- edge.
 All other Compounds or Syrups of this root have hitherto failed to command the sanction of the Faculty, because, on being tested, they have been found to contain noxions ingredi- ents, which neutralize the good effects of the Sarsaparilla, anG oftentmes injure the health of the patient. It is not so with Hulcy's preparation.
 This is the pure and genuine extract of the root and will, on trial, be found to effect certain and perfect cure of the following com plants and diseases:
