THE undersigned, believing that cheap daily
Whip newspaper at the seat OF Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the wing cause
during the approaching froslaehllel c1n.es., WV,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE WING STANDA Ard,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
laid down in the following declarations py HENRY
CLAY:
aA sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority of the Nation;
9. mAn adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry;
4 Just restraints on the Executive Power embrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF 'ne

a. "a faithful administration Of the Public DOMAIN,
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds OF the
sales of it among the States;

General Government, leaving public ofhcers per-
feet freedom Of thought, and of the right Of suf-
frape hut with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections;

ardent Wing will favoraby respond. The hearts OF

naien of 40 must, everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory Of the past ana 'nsir en-
