nHE 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, o., the first Monday in November neat, a

about to ensue? There are at this time fue opPosi-

way endeavoring 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 emissares whose
corrupt and atrocious motives manifest by their
early wrangling for spos which they never can win
We know the response of millions Of freemen Will
be .Ay, 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-deang sword in the
conflict. Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is inscribed Liberty, Order the Consl't-
endear him to every generous heart, and whose
patriotism has never been exceed-let US rally Tor
