ROSP Z G I US

YDHE undersigned, believing that cheap daily
L 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 neat,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled, s
TIL WING STANDARD,
devoted to the principles and policy of that party as
laid down in the following declarations Dy HENRY
CLAY:
ga sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;
2. .An adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry;
g. "Just restraints on the Executive Power embrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF the
Veto;
GA faithful administration of the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds ofhe
sales of it among the States;
S. can honest and economical administration OF the
General Government, leaving public officers per-
feet freedom of thought, and Of the right Of suf-
frage 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 annunciaton we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favoraby respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners aoated uhstricken during the CAM
raign of 40, must, everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory OF the past and their hopes en-

way, endeavorng to sap the foundations OF the wing
party, and blasting the prosperity Of the country

early wrangling spoils which they never can win
