yTHE undersigned believing that cheap daily
i Wing newspaper at the seat OF government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
publish, on tie first Monday in November mess,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE WING STANDARD,
devoted to the principles and policy OF that party, as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY gsss. 81 fE s
/. IA sound National Currency, regulated by the
. will and authority Of the Nation;

ing further restrictions on the exercise OF the
4.MA faithful administration of the Public Domain
with An equitable distribution of the proceeds Of the
sales Of it among the States n ss. .nsaA . Z.

I General Government, leaving public officers per
fect freedom of thought, and Of the right Of suf-

the energies Of the party but shall we not arouse

about TO ensue? There are at this time re opposi-
tion papers at the Seat Of Government eech IN It's
way endeav0ring to sap the foundations OF the wing
party, and blasting the prosperity OF the country
by the measures they propose snail we not ially
against the foes excited by these emssarles, whose
corrupt and atrocous motives are manifest Dy their
early wranging forspoils whichthey never can win!
We know the response of millions Of freemon Will

conflict. Let us rally under a leader upon whose
