laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY:

feet freedom Of thought, and Of the right OF suf-

To this annuncation we believe every true and
ardent Whig will favoraby respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners aoated 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 anticipaons 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 ensues There are at this time fre opposi-
ton papers at 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 tho measures they propose. Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these emssares, whose
corrupt and atrocios motives manifest by their
early wranglng for spoils which they never can win
We know the response Of millions Of frcemen will
be Ar, 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-dealng sword in the
conflict. Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is inscribed g Liberty, Order the Co,sstita,-
ton y whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, and whose
patriotism has never been exceed-let us rally Tor
