 We resume our editorial duties afier . short ab- ssnee employed in a1most agreeable exeussion. The pleasure ofthe trp was not mared by any fear that car patrons would bs aegiected. We had the satis- faction of knowing that our paper would have the beneAt of the taleats and judgement Of heads far better and wiser than our own For i've years we had seen nothing out ef Little Rock of all that was going on in the greatworld and we would advise any one confined for the same length of time, io pat his 'hapss on board some pleasant boat and find out at cnee how far he is "behind the times" If he be worn out win care and trouble this witi prove perfect Lethe; if he has become narrow minded and pfeJudiced from his limited associations tt will ea- large his views and disspate the evil or if, like our fread of the Gazette, from hard work and want ofyarety hegrows captious and ensty. it will eer. tany improve his temper. and he will return char isable to all We respectfully recommend to him stnP to New Orleans. 1.-The can go there and par take of all the iuxunes the season. eat oysters at tHolbrooks-PomPano at the Lake. hear souIe speak, see Miss Cohen dance, and drink strawberry Juieps d the Commercial exchange, and not come home in good hamor with himself and every body else. why. all we have to say is. that he had better get Oat of this world as fast as possible.

 . To those friends who have kindly contributed in aur abSence to he columns of the Banner, we ten der our thanks sincerely. and whatever our neigh. Dor oi the Gazette may think find nothing either in the original selected matter of which to disap. Aa fn h. awfr 4ha the publication of shich has aroused his indgra. tca, we are not si all disposed to condemn its selec. ton. and we are at loss 10 understand this sudden sensitiveuess of our neighbos on this subject That the uhsg party. as party, opposed to the var. and that constant efforts have been made to emhar rsss the administration in the vigorous prosecution oft. is fac; $ well established as their former support of U. s. Bank and protective tariff It is not to be denied that portion of the whgs of this State, and others, while they attempt to stgmstiee the measure as unjust and unprovoked. are willing for the purpose of political advancement or the hon or of the country to take up arms in her service Many have fought like heroes and died as brave men; bat this does not in the slightest degree un- settle the ground we have assumed, that the whigs are identified with the opposition to the war with Mexico The phrase '.entirc party" which secms to be so offensive, we regard as expression in- tended to signify the mass, and none will be so ah- surd as to take if in it's literal sense that 10 man, such sentiments were entertained by the whigs- No particular line Of policy has ever been adopted by that party. but anon, themselves some opposi- tion grew up and hence we say that the term should only be considered iii its common acceptaiion.

 IL is well known to the Editor of the Gazette that the whig press at the north. has almost with one voice declared the war unholy and unjust, and iha; his prototype of the Louisville Journal pro. nounced it "a rar agsina God,'' and. if to ex- tract matter for publication be to endorse il, the columns of the Gazette will sustain our position n the speech of that distinguished ~hig aspirant for the Vice Presidency-Tom Corwin. We have, therefore ameade to make for our Pro. fem |" as the Gazette is pleased to term him.

 Ixs Ca=sliss Basna Iisis isiter.-This elaborate account of the bai,ls of the conduct of the Arkan- sas regimen, generally and Capt. Pikes squadron in particular, reached us oa our passage from New Orleans. We were pleased with the ,ninuteness of the description. but we felt indignant at the partial unjust, and unehsritable manner in which the Ar kansas Regiment was noticed. + eonfiets with many other reliable statements received, in laading % highly the gaIIanry of Col Mays command, and netting out such faia, praise to the other portion O. the Regiment. We could only regret that the edi- tar of the Gazette should have done violence 10 his own good taste and liberal feeling by not refusing to his columns what he cannot but disapprove. We know Capt. Pike's eompany--we know them to be brave men and gentlemen, and ln the sphere of da- ty assigned them in the battle, so behaved; but A<g asrer Usre Ia .
