THE WING STANDARD.

With this number of the DAILY and WEEKLY
the publication of the WING STANDARD ceases,
for the present. I
We commenced our journal for the Presiden-
tal campaign, which has just terminated The
patronage which we have received, both for the
Daily and Weekly paper, was intended for the
most part, doubtless, to be bestowed during the
campaign But even if it were to be continued
it would not without very considerable in
crease, be sufficient to change our resolve to
discontinue the publication of the paper at this
time.
AS the present number of the WEEKLY STAN
DARD closes the series for which we received
subscriptions, our obligations to our subscribers
will thus have been fulfilled, and we could not
ask for or receive further subscriptions, unless
we could see the way clear TO continue the paper
for another twevemonth.
In thus severng the medium of intercourse
which has existed between US and our subscribers,
and which, to US, on many accounts, has been
source of much pleasure and qualification, as we
hope it has somewhat of edificaton and instruc
ton to them, we take pride in saying that, to the
best of our poor ability, have done our duty to
NOBLE and GLORIOUS cause which we hon.
estly believe was honoraby struggling to promote
and perpetuata the hest interests of nnr cnnntry
and that we have conscientiously stood by, sup
ported and defended, as the GREAT CANDIDATE
and STANDARD BEARER of our cause, HENRY
CLAY, of Kentucky, who is, in our estimation,
the FIRST and GREATEST living Statesman of the
Age, and more deserving of the gratitude and
support Of the whole American people than any
other man has been since the days of WASH
1NGToN.
We have no regrets, personally or otherwise,
except that our cause has not been triumphant.
Our candidate has received, in every State, we
believe, larger vote than was even cast for Gen
eral HARRIsoS, four years ago, when he beat Mr.
VAN buren, by the astounding majority Of 100000.
and yet he has been defeated We have already
dcscanted freely upon the means by which this
result, which we believe will prove most dsas-
trous to the country, has been brought about. 1t
is enough, now, to know that we are beaten, and
as good Citizens should submit as well "a we cam
to whatever measures the coming-in Admnistra-
ton may choose to saddle the country with.
At the same time, we call (here in the Last
number of the Wing Standard that will be issued
tor the present, and while taking leave of our
readers,) upon all good and true Wings TO stand
by each other, firmly and unitedLy, in the FAITH
Full advocacy and maintenance of their CORRECT
PRINCIPLES, SO that when the time for ACTION
again rolls round, they will be found, as they
must be, unless their principles are in the main
adopted and carried out by their adversaries in
the majority.
Should it be found advisable, at future and
not remote day, after the Wings from various
parts of the country have had time to interchange
sentiments, to resume the publication of this
paper, and proper exertions are made to give it a
patronage that will justify the undertaking, we
VIII meet the call with pleasure. Nothing is
more congenial to our feelings, we confess, than
to give constant unttring, and as far as in us lies
nell AIMED battle to Locof0coism Sooger or
later amust come doDn; and although we are nor
able to foIlow up the chase, we are determined TO
be IN al The death, to rarlake Of the heartfelt re-
JoIcng which will then make the whole heavens
joyful, and redeemed, regenerated, and dis
enthralled" people glad
To our brethren of the Wing press who have
so kindly recprocated lavors with us, we tender
our sincere and heartfelt thanks. We hone and
trust that each and all Of them may continue to
uphold the GOOD OLD CAUSE, and that they will
press forward with undated ZEAL maintaining
the Just principles of the WIG PARTY.
