PROSPECTUS OF
THE N. 0. WEEKLY TROPIC.

Twenty Copies for Twenty DoIIarsll!
Impressed with the vast importance of the next
election fer President and Vice President of the
United States, and believing, as we do, that upon
he success OF the Wing party depends in great
degree the stability and prosperity OF the American
Union, no honorable efforts should be neglected by
The friends of law order, and constitutional liberty
10 ensure consummation so earnestly TO be de-
sired by every lover of his country. With an un-
lnImlty and enthusiasm never before paraeled,
the Wing party presents to the American people
for their suffrages for the highest station in the
world the name Of Americas nobest statesman,
HENRY CLAY! Mr.. Clay is now the candidate
Jt the party, and his nomination only requires r
formal announcement by the properly constituted
authorizes of the party. That announcement will
be made next May, and from that day the Wings
IF the Union will march forward in solid phalnnx,
determined to do Justice to Harry OF the West,''
and wipe from the national escutcheon the-stale
and stereotyPed SANDER that "Republics are
| grateful"
We are of those who believe that the great mass
Of our countrymen are honest and patriotic, that
they only require correct Information to enable
and induce them 10 support such measures, and
such men, az will most effectually advance the no.
/ nor and prosperity of our native land. They have
no motive to do wrong, and hence, when correctly
informed, they will invariably do right The high
est and nobest duty Of the press that great engine
ofintelligence and rational reedom is to enlighten
the public mind, TO scatter broadcast through the
aha the true principles of liberty, morality, and
Justice. Since the art of printing was discovered,
ire press has been, and SO long it remains in the
nahds Of honest men, 1t must continue TO be, ifnot
the pioneer, at least the most powerful auxiliary
In every enterprise, having for its object the i'm
provement of mankind, and the elevation Of man TO
that exalted sphere of usefulness for which God In
his wisdom, intended him.
In the approaching Presidential election If can
not be denied, that it is the Wing press 10 which
our friends must look for the most useful powerful
and concentrated forts in that cause which binds
up in its support tie hearts and hopes of millions
Of our countrymen. To the Whio press we must
look not only for the dissemina ion ofsound and
wholesome intelligence upon all subjects of nation
policy, but for the antidote to the banefu poison
of Islander and Misrepresentation, which daiiy ard
weekly uiteFs from the paid and pensioned presses
| Of our adversanes. Those misrepresentattons are
sent forth the wings of the ind; and find thei,
way into every nook and conner of our extended
country. They must be NEITHER statements en-
countered, their falsehoods exposed, and their So
Fhlstrles unmasked. This is the duty, the impera-
tive duty of the Wing press: that press which has
through years of dependency and trial stood firm
amid disaster and defeat, and never shrunk from
any encounter, however hopeless the contest What
1t has been IN years past, doubt not it will cen
tinue to be in time to come but in order to make
the press useful the people must come forward and
aid its conductors in giving correct information
and correct principles the widest possible circua-
ton. Wing papers must be placed in the hands of
every voter IN the land, and, wort for it, the
alter MANY days. goodly return

most needed in the Southwest, is a cheap aud
