The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-02-19
PROSP E C I US.

THE undersigned, believing that 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 November meat,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE WING STAN D A R D,
devoted to the principles and policy of that party, as
laid down in the following decla ations by HENRY
CLAY:
ga sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority of the Nations;
9. An adequate revenue, with fair protection TO
nercan Industry;
g. Just restraints the Executive Power, embrac-
in further restrictions on the exercise of the
Veto;
a. "a faithful administration of the Public Domain.
with an equitable distribution Of the proceeds OF the
sales Of it among the States;
& An honest and economical administration OF the
General Government, leaving public officers per-
fec, freedom of thought, and of the right OF SUI
frage but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections;
G. An amendment of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent Of the Presidential Office to single
term
To this annunciation we believe every true and
arlent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unoroken and
whose banners Coated unstrcken during the CAM
r ,ign Of '4,, must, everywhere, swell with glorious
ide at the memory Of The past, and their hopes en-
,nraged by their joyous anticipation OF the future
II il true a nightmare Of treachery rests upon
tie energies of the party but shall we not arouse
{, the importance Of the political conflict which is
about TO ensue! There at this time fve OPPOSE
ton papers at the Seat Of Government each, in its
way endeavoring to sap the foundations o. the wing
party and blasting the prosperity OF the country
BY tho measures they propose shall we not raiiy
against the foes excited by these em'ssaries whose
corrupt and atrocious motives are manifest by ther
early wrangling for spos which they never can win
We know the response of millions of freemen will
be SAY, RALLy!' Already the :" hum OF either
army Silly sounds" already the general furnishing
of arms gives dreadful note Of preparations; then
let ours be bright and deatf-dealng sword In. the
conflict Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is Inscribed Liberty, Order, the Co1sliti-
ton - whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, and whose
natriotsm has never been excelled-et us rally for
HENRY CLAY the Statesman and Sage, the irlend o.
lhc workingman the idol Of his country, which, for
FORTY wears next to- his God has had his chief care
