l. Wing newspaper ~ INC seat y, GuscinM0"'
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
publish, ON the first Monday in November nert,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE WING ST AN D ARD,
devoted to the principles and policy of that party as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY: ~
.uA sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;
g. "An adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry;
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF the
Veto; II.
4. faithful administration of the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution Of the proceeds ofthe
sales Of it among the States;
S. An honest and economical administration OF the
General Government leaving public officers per-
feet freedom Of thought, and Of the right Of suf-
rage but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections,
g. An amendment of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent Of the Presidential Office to single
term"
To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing viii favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks we're unbrOken, and
whose banners Roated unstricken during the cam
paign of 40 must, everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory OF the past and their hopes en-
couraged by their Joyous anticpations 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
about to ensue? There at this time fire opposi-
ton papers at the Seat of Government, each, in Its
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 emssaries, whose
corrupt and atrocious motives manifest by their
early wranging for spos which they never can win!
We know the response of millions of freemen will
be SAY, RALLY y 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 dcath-dealing sword in the
conflict. Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is Inscribed Liberty Order, the Co,.sttt,-
ton !" whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart ana whose
patriotism has never been excelled-let us rally LOT
HEERy CLAY the Statesman and Sage, the friend OF
the workingman the idol Of his country, which, Tor
forty years, next to his God has had his chief care
