About the first Of the ensuing month, the subscriber
will issue the first number of a weekly paper, under the
above caption, in the town of Opelousas, Parish of St
Landry, Louisiana, to be devoted to politics particular
ly, and all the other matters Of a country paper inciden-
tally. AS the title indicates, a decided but impartial
support will be given to Wing principles and the NOM
inees Of the party. Honestly believing that the creed of
the Wing party is,the conservative ground upon which
our Republican fabric is reared, we shall use every hon
orable means to advance our principles, and place in
the highest office in our gift, that man who has so richly
deserves our warinest gratitude the disinterested
statesman and bold champion of American rights
HENRY CLAY.
Determined to conduct our sheet with becoming dig
nity-that courteous dignity that should always charac-
terise a free and independent Press--we shall expect
the same course from our opponents; for, argument,
based upon reason, should be the only weapons used in
political warfare.
We shall strive to make Our paper worthy of the
cause it adyocates-but refrain from making promises
of any kind, except as to our political faith. HENRY
CLAY and THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN de-
serve we'll of their country, and the !" sober, second
thought" of the People will repay them for the services
heretofore 50 faithfully and ably performed.
The =" Wing" Will be printed in French and Englisl
ION new materials--of the imperial size-at So. pc
annum in advance, or Sss4. after the expiration of ST
m~onths-$$s2. for six months, invariably in advance
