i Wing newspaper at the seat OF Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
nmhl;sh on the first Monday in Novsnsber neat,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE w HIG STAN DA K D,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
laid down in the following declas atoms by HENRY
CLAY:
lea sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;

frage but with suitable restraints against improper
4 interference in elections;
&. can amendment Of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent Of the Presidential office to single

To this annanciation we believe every true and
ardent wing will favorably respond. The hearts Of
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners noated unstricken during the cam
paign Of 40, must, everywhere, swell win glorious
pride at the memory of the past, and their hopes en-
couraged by their joyous anticiPaons q me iuaare
the energies Of the party but shall we not arouse
to the Importance of the political conflict which -
about to ensue There at this time tipe OPPOSE
ton papers at the Seat Of Government each, IN it's
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 atrocous motives are manifest by their
early wrangng for spols which they never can win?
We know the response of millions OF freemen will
be GAY, nALLyp' 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 Consita-
ton !" whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart and whose
patriotism has never been excelled-iet US raliy LOT
