PR OSPE TU s.

rNHE undersigned, believing that cheap daily
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 meet,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE w HIG STANDARD,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party, as
laid down in the following declarations Dy HENRY
CLAY:
LEA sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority of the Nation;
2. San adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry;
3. aJust restraints on the Executive Power, emDrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF tne
Veto; 81
A. GA 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
e General Government, leaving public officers per-
feet freedom Of thought, and Of the right Of suf-
frage, but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections;
6. can amendment of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent Of the Presidential office to single
term"
To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will fayorably respond. The hearts Of
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken and
whose banners Aoated unstricken during the cam
paign of 40, must, everywhere swell with glorious
pride at the memory of the past and their hopes en-
COdrageQ by Their joyous dhtaCipoeono - SA'S Ao'
It is true nightmare of treachery now rests upon
the energies Of the party but shall we not arouse

about to ensue? There at this time foe opposl-
ton papers at the Seat of Government, each, m ITS
way endeavoring to sap the foundations OF the wing
party, and blasting the prosperity Of the country
by the measures they propose Shall we not raly
against the foes excited by these emssaries whose
corrupt and atrocious motives are manifest by their
early wrangling for spoils which they never can WIN!
We know the response Of millions OF treemen Will
be aAv, RALLY!" Already the hum OF either
army Silly sounds;'' already the general furnishing
of arms gives dreadful note Of preparation 3 tnen
