The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1843-11-06

West and the opinions he entertains are not
known. If, during long life spent in the ser
vice of his country Mr.. CLAY has endeared
one pre-eminent quality, it has been his manly
frankness he has never hesitated to combat
error when it was popular, or to lift his power
full voice in behalf of truth, even when at the
time it was distasteful TO the majority. In this
respect he exhibits striking contrast to his
four years presidential service, is the subject
of violent dispute among his own partisans !!
What are the opinions Of Mr.. VAN buren, upon
many subjects it would be difficult to say, but
we know he runs for " second term" and that
he advocates the condemned sub-treasury," into
which he would put the proceeds Of the "publc
lands" Mr.. CLAWS opinions upon these and
other kindred subjects are as follows, to wit:
he advocates
81. A sound National Currency regulated by
the will and authority Of the nation
"2. An adequate Reuenue, with fair protec-
tion to american Industry
'S3. Just restraints on the Executive power,
embracing further restriction on the exercise
of the Veto.
"A. A faithful administration Of the public
domain, with an equitable distribution of the
proceeds of the sales of it among all the States.
IS. An honest and economical administration
of the General government, leaving public Off
GERS perfect freedom Of thought and of the right
of Suffrage but with suitable restraints against
improper interference in elections.
"6. An amendment to the Constitution, linn
iting the incumbent Of the Presidential Office to
single term
These objects attained, says Mr.. CLAY, II
think we should cease to be afflicted with bad
administration of the Government"
1t is to attain these objects, under the admin
istration Of HENRY CLAY, that the Wing party
is now summoned to contest in which success,
in any event, will be glorious, and defeat no
otherwise dsgraceful than as the result Of their
own negligence and folly.
