/ Whig newspaper at the seat Of Government
would prove a valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
nublisb on the first Monday in .Nouember neat, a
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
TIL w HIG STANDAR L D,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
laid down in the following declarations by Henry
CLAY:
/. aA sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;
2. .An adequate revenue, with fair protection 70
American Industry;

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;
g. g An amendment OF the Constitution hmlting the
incumbent Of the Presidential Office to single
term"
To this annunciaton we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favoraby respond. The hearts Of
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners Coated unstricken during. the cam
ragn Of '4O, must, everywhere, swell with glorious
bride at the memory Of The past and their hopes
couraged by their Joyous aniicipaous of the future

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 .frs oppos-
ton papers at the Seat of Government, each, IN It's
wav, endeavoring to sapthe 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 em'ssares whose
currupt and atrocious motives are manifest by their
carly wrangling forspoils which they never can win
We know the response of millions OF ircemen viii
