The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-03-08
P OSP E C 7 US.

THE, undersigned, believing that cheap daily
Wing newspaper at the seat of Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
rubbish on the first Monday il. November mert,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE WING STAN OAR D,
devoted to the principles and policy of that party as
aid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY:
GA sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;
9. can adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry;
g. "Just restraints on the Executive rover, emorac
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF Inc
Veto
4. GA faithful administration of the Public Domain
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds otthe
sales of it among the States; -,
S. "An honest and economical administrator oi Ing
General Government, leaving public officers per-
feet freedom of thought, and of the right OF SUI
fage but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections;
6. can amendment of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent of the Presidential Office to single
term"
To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, ana
whose banners foated unstricken during the cam
raign of 40, must, everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
couraged by their Joyous anticipaons 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 Is
about to ensue3 There at this time fUe OPPOSE
ton papers at the Seat Of Government, each, IN its
way endeavorng to sap the foundations OF the Wing
party, and blasting the prosperity Of the country
BY tho measures they propose. Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these emissares, whose
corrupt and arocious motives are manifest by their
early wrangling for spoils which they never can win!
We know the response of millions of freemen will
be CAY RALLY!' Already the hum OF either
army Silly sounds" already the general furnishing
of arms gives 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, the Const-
ton y whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, and whose
patriotism has never been exceled-let us rally Ior
Henry CLAY, the Statesman and Sage, the iriend OF
the workingman the idol of his country, which, Tor
forty years next to his God has had his chief care
