PR OSP E G 7 u.s..

THE undersigned, believing that cheap daily
j Wing newspaper at the seat OF Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
publish, on the first Monday IN November aerf,
thorough and decided Whig paper, entitled,
THE WHIG TAND A r. D,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY 9S

To this annuncation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners foated unstricken during the cam
raign Of 4O, must, everywhere, swell with glorious
coAraged by their Joyous anticipaons 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 opposi-
ton papers at the Seat of Government, each, N Its
way, cndeavoring to sap the foundations o. the wing
party, and blasting the prosperity OF the country
by tho measures they propose. Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these emissares, whose
corrupt and atrocious motives manifest by their
early wranglng for spoils which they never can win
We know the response of millions OF ireemen VIII
be tAy, RALLv' Already the hum OF either
army Silly sounds" already the general turDishng
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 Is Liberty, Oyder the Costu-
tion !" whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, ana W. Wnose c
patriotism has never been excelled-let us rally for
HENRY CLAY, the Statesman and Sage, the friend OF
the workingman, the idol Of his country, whcn, ior
forty wears next to his God has had his chief care
