PROSPECT U.s..

yT1r4E undersigned, believing that . cheap daily
Wing newspaper at the seat of Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching rresldent'al contest, WIZ
nuhlish. on the first Monday in Nouembes aert, a
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled, .a-
THE w HIG STAND A R D,

pride at the memory Of The past and their hopes en-
couraged by their joyous anticipation OF the iuture

the energies Of the party but snail we no. arouse
10 the Importance Of the political conflict whch y
about to eil,tle? There at this time tre oPpnsl-
tom papers at the seat of Governm mt, each IN Its
way endeavoring to sap the foundations o. the wing
party, and blasting the prosperity oi tne country
Ly the measures they propose. Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these em'ssares whose
corrupt and atroclous motives manifest by their
early wrangling for spoils which they never can WIN
