With our lasi number expired the for


ner Editors connection with the Tele-
graph, consequently the duties pertaining
to the editorial department, has devolved
upon the proprietor. Those who have been
in the habit of reading the Telegraph, can
best appreciate the ability with which it
has been conducted, and judge of the
soundness of the principles, it esPoused and
advocated. Mr.. Jet is firm unwavering
and uncompromising Wing, and enthusias-
tic admirer of the great and illustrious
statesman, Henry Clay, and during the fu-
rious canvass Just terminated, rendered him
his most cheerful, and undivided support.
These are the principles to which we ad-
here, and which will continue to receive
our most earnest advocacy We have
been beaten, but not sheartened-worst-
ed but not dispirited-vanquished but not
conquered, and when the proper time ar
rives, we will be found at our post manful-
" battling for our rights, and fearlessly de-
tending the principles, in the correctness of
which, our confidence is undiminished, and
which, we doubt not, will be sustained by
the American People. Our party has been
defeated, but not by fair means; our
leader whom we delighted TO honor and
support, and under whose banner we were
proud to march, has been shamefIlly abused,
and maliciously slandered, by heated par
tizans, envious, and ambitious politicians,
and office-seehing demagogues; and there
by rendered odious, to thousands of honest
and unsuspecting citizens; but, when the
mist of party strife shall have cleared away,
and the people permitted to read, reflect,
and think for themselves, our party must
and scW triumph.


Apart from political considerations, we
would remark that it is essentially neces-
sary that a paper should be published in
this section Of our State. 1t is believed
that no part of the whole South west, is
more abundant in natural resources, than
our portion of Arkansas, hence, the impor-
tance ofa proper channel, through which,
their value may be estimated, their bene-
fits promulgated, their acquisition consum-
mated and cur farmers enriched. This is
the only paper published in the South
western part OF our State, and when its i'm
portance is duly appreciated, it doubtless
will be literally patronized by generous
and spirited public. 1t is the easiest thing
imaginable to render a paper prosperous
and useful, when people take an interest in
its welfare, and put their shoulders to the
wheel Of its support, and unless this course
is pursued it must inevitably languish, and
be of little or no benefit to the community.


Our best efforts shall be used to make
ourpaper useful and interesting to all classes.
and those with whom it is our misfortune
to differ in politics, we hope, will have no
ground to accuse US of a want of proper
urbanity and courtesy. We ask the con-
tinuance ofthe patronage ofa liberal public,
and hope to merit its appreciation.
