Wing newspaper at the seat of Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
publish o., the first Monday in November neat, a
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
TIL E WING st ANDARD,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party, as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY

To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
4 the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken,, ana
whose banners Roated unstricken during the cam
raign of 40 must, everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
couraged by their joyous antcipatlons 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 -
about to ensue? There are at this time Ue OPPOSE
ton papers at the Seat of Government each, in its
way, endeayorng 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 emlssarles whose
corrupt and atrocious motives are manifest by their
early wrangling forspoils which they never can WIN
We know the response Of millions OF ireemen W'li
be ssAy, RALLY" Already the /" hum OF either
army Silly sounds" already the general furnishing
of arms gives dreadful note Of PREPARATION then
let ours be bright and death-dealing sword in the
conflict Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is inscribed Liberty, Order, the Consl't.t-
tio,, - whose great political and personal virtues
patriotism has been excelled-let us rally for
HENRY CLAY, the Statesman and Sage, the friend OF
