PR OSP E C I u S.

u,HE undersigned, believing that cheap daily
Whip newspaper at the seat of Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching lresiaen M. eInes, WI,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE w HIG STANDARD,
devoted ID the principles and policy Of that party as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY: fe a3,.+tatp s
"a sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;
9. /" An adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry; f, tMF
g Just restraints on the Executive Power, embrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise of the
Veto; &at N.
a. .eA faithful administration Of the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds Of the
sales of it among the States;
S aAn honest and economical administration OF the
General Government, leaving public officers per
feet freedom Of thought, and OF the right OF SUI
frage. but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections; s,. 49,
6. can amendment of the Constitution limiting the
;ncnmhent Of the Presidential Office to single
term
To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. Fssssssss q
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners Aoated unstricken during the CAM
paign Of 40 must, everywhere, swell with glorious
bride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
couraged by their Joyous antcipations of the future
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 10
about to ensue? There are at this time five opposl-
ton papers at the Seat Of Government each n lts
way endeavorng to sap the foundations Of the Wing
party, and blasting the prosperity Of the country
by the measures they propose. Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these eissaries whose
corrupt and atrocious motives manifest by their
early wranglng for spoils which they never can win
We know the response Of millions Of freenen will
be GAY. RALLY !'i Already the "hum OF either
army Silly sounds; already the general furbishng
of arms sigves dreadful note of preparation : then
let ours be bright and death-dealing sword IN the
conflict. Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is inscribed Liberty, Order, ne Coa'ssss-
ton ~; whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, ana whose
patriotism has never been excelledet us rally tor
