Ter. week. ] y newspaper, to be tylcd ss T'Ae Gonst.fu. faefea Jo Joitfadf. in presenting his claims 10 the. patronage ot the public, he can, in ad- vance do nothing more than to promise on his l ipart, bis most faithful exertions to render h;s paper q vehicle Of useful and entertaining knowledge.

 ltis fact. sadly attested by past cxpsri- ence, that the character of tho press has par- taken too much of the bitterness and ranccur of partizan feeling, which has unfortunately pervaded our whole country, In the great political canvass which has sgitated the land. the malevolent and angry passions of our na- tures seem to have been too frequently exer- cised. and in many cases, disregard ofthe conrtesies of social intercourse, has been the consequenres

 Situated as NC are, no reason can De per- eelvsd, why the people of Arkanrbs should be- come Tn any nsnner. party to the struggle for power, which is now going on. Al this time, they hnve no voice in the selection of i Gefiiiei Magistrate, and instead of wasting strength in controversy. which, n any as- peet must prove unproftable to them, the en- efgies of ns all should be united in the pro- aiotioa of oir peculiar and local interests. We are seeking to become member of tho great confederacy of the United States, and to be plaeed upon ah equality with the sovs- reign States Of the Union--the right to this equality Is guarantiedto to us by the constitution ot the United States, and 1t shall be tho busi- ness of the "JouRNALo to assert and maintain it.

 No man can east his eye over the map of our Territory without pereeiving the natural advantages of our geographical positon.--- Bounded on the east by the mighty stream, which has not inarnrorf;aselyy been termed the great Father of Waters, and three other ! great vers stretehi1 ing nut .es sss .h.cas.@ region of unsurpassed fertility, with the countless lakes and navigable bayous, which dot almost every township, the truth forces itself upon us, that VIC have only to be true to ourselves to attain the most elevated grade in the scale of national prosperity. The stock and grain of the North, and the great staple of the South. produce all identity, instead of diversity of interest, between the different parts of otlr Territory. To cultivate kind and brotherly feeling, and to developa the rc- sources of our wgole country, is AS obviously the interest of us all, as it is gratifying to the heart ofeYery true patriot and phiIanthropist.

 The Editor of the Journal will sedulously aim to suppress all local or sectional jealousy. He has higher aims in the establishment of paper, than to endeavour to array one portion oitite community agaillst | another. He thinks that the time has arrived, when there should be union of feeling, as there certainly is of interest, anofg all the people of Arkansas. Inc general course of his paper will be dl- reeted to the pronotien of what he conceiyos b be the welfare of the whole Territory. He pledges himselfto advocate whatever meas ure he believes to be right. regardless of the source of it's emanaton, and to hold up to public scorn, the corruption of public men, no matter Ill whom found.
