thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE WHIG STAND r D,
devoted to the principles and policy of that party, as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY: a

will and authority Of the Nation;
2. "An adequate revenue with fair protection to
American Industry;

To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Whig will fayorably respond. The hearts OF
the Whig army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners foated unstrckcn during the CAM
paign Of 40, must everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
couraged by their joyous anciPations 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 oppos-
ton papers at the Seat of Government each, in its
way endcavorng 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 emissaries 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 "Ay, 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 Conslit'-
ton - whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, and whose
patriotism has never been excellcd--let us rally Tor
HENRY CLAY, the Statesman and Sage, the friend OF
the workingman the idol of his country, which, Tor
forty years next to his God has had his chief care
