As the above title sets forth, the Democra- tic party of Arkansas, acting through the Central Committee appointed for the purpose, have established TIE BANNER" which is designed to be, and will be, the organ of the party; and, by explaining, advocating, and defending the fundamental principles, and consequent policy, of the Democratic party, will contribute to the establishment and maintenance of good government

 "THE BANNER'' was commenced on the 16th of September last, and has now reached it's 12th number. The services of an Edi- tor, whose name stands at the head of its columns, have been secured; and the publi- cation now stands on permanent and iavo- rable foundation, and comments itself to the confidence and support of all who desire the welfare of the Democratic party, and that its principles may be disseminated through the country, and faithfully sustained. All admit the necessity of newspapers, to any party, for the purpose of placing their prn- elples and policy fairly and extensively be- fore the public, of defending them against mIsconcePtion and misrepresentation,- and Tor the purpose of keeping bright and strong those bonds of harmony and good under standing, by which alone proper union and efficient organization can be secured.

 Impressed with these considerations, and to attain these desirable and necessary ends, for the Democratic party, "The Ban her" has been established. Will not the Democrats sustain it The Wings have taoo organs at the seat of government Will the Democrats not have one ? Itis believed that they will; and that they will sustain it libe- rally. The following is brief summary of what the Editor of the Banner understands. and will maintain, as the creed of the Demo- cratic party:

 The people the o2ly source of legitimate power

 The freedom, sovereignty, and independence of the respective States

 The Constitution of the Union, special grant of powers, limited and definite.

 The Representative to obey the instructions of the constituents.

 Elections free, and suffrage universal.

 No taxation beyond the necessary wants of an eco- nomical administration of the government

 No favored classes, and no monopolies
