II will be the effort Of this press. by every fait
aud onorable means. destroy the party Inatualinn

the American people, aud, by dlus,ng LIGHT and
truth, IN conJnciion with its brethren OF the Oppns-
ION press, To arrest the march Of pfo1c acy and fol
y, which have brought the equity the verge of
bankruptcy aud ruin. II is time that the peoplc
should be reused from their apparent apathy To wig
orons exetlon, and be made sensible Of the pcrons
condition in which they now stand. They want but
light and the press The best vehicle for the success

The undersigned believes that, though Wing
paper be- and has long been established IN Washing
ton, which is conducted with great dignity and ab,l-
ny. it does supeIsede the necessity of another
co laboier IN The same field OF usefulness. There
never was more interesting and important crisis in
the history of our country than the present and /
becomes the duty OF every eli zen Who desires 10
perpetuate lis free institutions and liberties to give
every aid in his power 10 the most efficient means
OF correcting The evils and dangers whlch now hang
over the republic, from the folly and corruption 81
lis rulers. The position which The undersigned
has chosen Is, he thinks, peculiarly suited To the
conp'ishment Of such an liccl The fountain OF
corruption is al the seat of Government its streams
from This source flow over The land and proximity
TO that source wall afford greater facilities Tor the
discovery and exposure of the ptonigaey aud mis-.
mana eme ut OF those who have been placed IN the
seat of p wer.
Animated by an ardent love Of county, the under
signed will endeavor to maintain, boldly and fearless
~, the he has espoused, and the Wing ptncl-
pies upon which he sincerely believes the stability
and prosperity of the Goyernmeui depend. He will
''paughl exlenunie, and set down naugh in malice.
The Wing party and its members Of both Houses,
shall aw avs find IN his press advocate willing and
prepared defend them when unInstly assaulted and
wsntonv aspcrscd as they too often have been, by
the yena pruts Of the Administration Iarty. No
exerllon shall be spared 10 make the WhsHINoToN
VINO vehicle OF correct political ntelligeuc aud
