PROSP E G TU s..

TINE undersigned, believing that a cheap daily
j Wing newspaper at the seat OF Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
publish on the first Monday in .Norember neat,
thorough and decided Whig paper, entitled
THE W WHIG STANDARD,
devoted to the principles and policy of that party as
laid down in the following decla. atons by HENRY
CLAY! .a4s s 4
IL A sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;
2. s.An adequate revenue, with fair protection 70
American Industry;
3. Just restraints on the Executive Power embrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF the
Veto;
4. faithful administration of the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds oithe
sales of it among the States;

feet freedom Of thought, and Of the right OF sui
frage but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections; .ss
6. IAN amendment Of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent Of the Presidential Office to single

To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, ana
whose banners Coated unstricken during the cam
raign of 40 must everywhere, swell wilh glorious
pride at the memory of The past, and helrhopes en-
coaraged by their joyous antcpatons OF the tuture
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 at this time fire OPPOSE
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 the measures they propose. snail we not rally
against the foes excited by these emssarles, whose
corrupt and atrocious motives are manifest ny their
early wrangling for spols which they never can win!
We know the response of millions Of frcemen Will
be sAy, RALLyn' 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-deaing sword in the
conflict. Let us rally under a leader upon whose
standard is inscribed Liberty, Order, the Cons,tu-
to,, y whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart ana whose
patriotism has never been exceed-lct us rally for
HEARY CLAY the Statesman and Sage, the friend of
