The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1843-12-22
PROSPE c I us.

fNHE undersigned, believing mat cheap dally
WING newspaper at the seat of Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
rubbish. on the first Monday IN November neat, a
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE WING STANDAR D,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY:
i."A sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority of the Nation;
9. AN adequate revenue, with fair protection TO
American lndustry
4 Just restraints on the Executive Power embrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF the
Veto;
q. "a faithful administration of the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds the
sales of it among the States;
S. can honest and economical administration OF the
General Government, leaving public officers per-
feet freedom Of thought and OF the right OF SUI
frage but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections;
G. can amendment of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent of the Presidential office to single
term" 4
To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners Coated unstrcken during the cam
raign of 40, must everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory of the past, and their hopes en-
coaraged by their joyous ancpations OF the future
1t is true nightmare of treachery now rests upon
the energies of the party; but shall we not arouse
to the importance of the political conflict which IS
about to ensue? There are at this time fire OPPOSE
ton papers at the Seat of Government each, in its
way endeavorng to sap the foundations OF the wing
party, and blasting the prosperity Of the country
by the measures they propose. Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these emlssares, whose
corrupt and atrocious motives manifest by their
early wrangling for spos which they never can win
We know the response of millions OF freemen will
be GAY, RALLy!n Already the hum OF either
army Silly sounds" already the general iurb,shlng
of arms gives dreadful note of preparation;' then
let ours be bright and death-dealng sword IN the
conflict Let us rally under a leader upon whose
standard is inscribed g Liberty, Order the Co,sl'tu-
lion - whose great political and persona! virtues
endear him to every generous heart, ana whose
patriotism has never been excelled-let us rally ior
Henry CLAY, the Statesman and Sage, the friend OF
the workngman, the idol OF his country, winch LOT
forty years next to his God has had his chief care
