P R OSP E { I US.

rNfIE undersigned, believing that a cheap daily
Il Wing newspaper at The seat OF Government
woali prove valuable auxiliary to the wing cause
during The approaching Presidential contest, will
publish, on the first Monday in Novenber nert,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE W HIG STANDARD D,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
Land down in the following decla ations by HENRY
CLAY: sss tg
1. :. A sound National Currency, regulated by the
win and authority Of the Nation;
3. !" An adequate revenue, with fair protection TO
American Industry 2
8. Just restraints the Executive Power embrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF the
Veto; a
A. sA faithful administration Of the Public Domain,
with an equitable distr button of the proceeds ofthe
sales Of it among the States;
S. An honest and economical administration OF the
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. San 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 favorably respond The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners Roatcd Mnstricken during the cam
ragn of 4U, must, everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
coaraged by their joyous OF the future

the energies Of the party but shall we not arouse

about to ensue? There at this time ipe opposl-
ton papers the Seat Of Government, each, IN 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 rally
against the foes excited by these emssarles, whose
corrupt and atrocious motives are manifest by their
early wrangling orspoils which they never can WIN!
We know the response Of millions OF freemen Will

army Silly sounds;' already the general furnishing
of arms gives dreadful note Of preparation = then
