I'm 'TSesed with the vast imPortanee Of the next
election tcF President and Vice President OF the
Qnlted Sites, aud believing, as we do, that upon
the success 4 the Wing party depends in great
aegtee me stability and prosperity OF the American
Union. no hOnorable efforts should be neglected by
the friends Law order, and constitutional liberty,
10 ensure contamination 50 earnestly to be de-
sired by every love- of his country. With an un.
Annuity and enthmiasm never before paralleled,
the Wing parry presents TO the American people
for their suhsages for the highest station in the
world the name oil Americas noblest statesman,
HENRY CLAY! Sasg. Cay is now the candidate
Ofthe party, and his noIEina ton only requires a
/ formal announcement by the PToPIrly constituted
authorities OF the party. That announcement VIII
be made next May, and from that day the v hlgs
Of the Union will march forward in solid phalanx,
determined to do Justice to Harry OF the West"
and wipe from the national escutchebn the stale
and sterentyped slander that "Republics are un-
grateful.''
We are of those who believe that the grear mass
ofour countrymeR are honest and patriotic, that
they only require correct information to enable
and induce them 10 support such measures and
such men, as will most effectually advance the ho-
nor and prosperity ofour native land. They have
no motive to do wrong, and hence, when correctly
informed they will invariably DO night. The high
est and MODEST duty Of the press, that great engine
ofinteligence and rational freedom, is Co enghten
the public mind, 10 scatter broadcast through the
justice. Since the art OF printing was discovered,
the press has been, and so long it remains in the
hands OF honest men, it must continue 10 be, fnot
the pioneer, at least the most powerful auxiliary
in every enterprise, having for its object the inn
proYement 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 Il can
not be denied, that il Is 10 the Wing press 10 which
our friends must look for the most useful, powerful
up in its support the hearts and hopes Of millions
Of our counirymen. To the Wing psess, we must
look not only for the dissemination of sound and
wholesome intelligence upon all subjects ofnation-
al pc icy, but for the antdote the baDeul poison
Of SANDER and misrepresentation, which daiiY ard
weekly ulters from the paid and pensioneJ presses
Of our adyersaries. Those misrepresentation are
sent forth on the wings Of the wind, and find their
way into every nook and corner of our extended
country They must be met-their statements en-
countered, their falsehoods exposed, and their So
rhisries unmasked. This is the du.y, the impera-
tive duty of the Wing press: that press which has
through years of dependency and trial, stood 6sm
amid disaster and defeat, and never shrunk from
any encounter, however hopeless the contest What
1t has been III years past, we doubt mott viii
tinue TO be in time to come, but ia order to make
the press useful the people must come forward and
aid its conductors il giving correct information
and correct principles the widest possible circula-

every voer in the land, and, our word for it, the
bread thus cast upon the waters" will produce,
