Il will always be , tound hatmg against Whiggcry in every ;n,oa;n.lc form and shape. Col. Sevier has mn ,yfe interest in it than any other Demo- cr.; it is no more his paper than that of any Jther Democrat; 1t belongs to the whole par i tv; it is established for the benefit of the whole party; and the committee declare that they would be just as far from the wish to 1 have paper to advocate particular persons, as any other men in the State, and that if this paper was for any such purpose, they would have no connection with it, and would not have taken the trouble and incurred the ex- pcnse they have, in it's establishment.

 To any who would war upon Us and our efforts, and thus assai the party from whom we derived our authority, we have nothing 10 say. The Democracy will trace such hosti- l lity, if any, to its true source; they will see that the enemies of their principles ever seek to divide and conquer; but the seeds of dis sension which our political enemies would SOW, (by whatever fnstrutnent), will fall on barren ground; the people are too wise to be dupcd.

 Fellow Democrats, we have now perform cd the trust reposed in us by you all; we have procured and established a Democratic press at the scat of government, under your authority and by your direction); and the common duty of Us all is to sustain it, in or der that il may become powerful and influen- tial in the political destinies of the State It must be well sustained; and we should be unjust to you, if we entertained doubt that each one of you will do his part, and support it with the same spirit with which the busi- ness was set on foot in the representative hall of the capitol

 We feel assured that ssThe Arkansas Ban- ner'' will fully answer public expectation that the general reader will find it interesting in a literary point of view-the politician, that political questions are discussed with dignity and proper moderation-and the agri- culturist, that the latest improvements in his vocation are noticed, so that art and nature may go together, and render the bounies of the latter pre-eminenty useiul-to all class eS, it will furnish matter which will enrich and strengthens the mind

 We can also assure you, that the Wings. have not money enough to buy it-that no misfortune, however disastrous, no fraud or strategy, however skillnlly planned, can ever throw this paper into their possession-nay, more, they can never, directly or indirectly, have the smallest influence over it. They | shall have fair and honorable warfare, but no quarter until they surrender: we ask none, we give none-like PALArox, we mean to conquer or fall.

 We deemed that our duty would not be fully performed, without stating our pro ceedings in this business, contradicting un- founded rumors, prejudicial to the success of the paper; and this we have done in plain, mvarnished address.

 We appeal to you, to give ',The Arkansas Banner" a warm and undivided support, without which it can never become that use- ful journal which y ou desire for your organ. Its destiny is now ill your hands; by your eXertions you can make il brilliant star in the political Armament; by your apathy and neglect, 1t will have, if not short, at least a feeble existence. Under your patronage, it will be strong and powerful, ready at all times to srapple with the enemy; without that patronage, it would struggle in vain. We arc your fellow-Democrats,
