The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-03-06

ET1HE 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 il, November merit,
! thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
\ THE WING STAN OAR D,
devoted to the principles and policy of that party
aid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY:
ga sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;
g. "An adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American industry; 4
8. Just restraints the Executive Power, embrace
ing further restrictions on the exercise of the
Veto;
4. faithful administration Of the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds Of the
sales of it among the States;
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; G&aa8
6. can amendment Of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent Of the Presidential Office to single
term 41essIt il 9sAit2 "
N To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts Of
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken, and
whose banners aoated unstricken during the cam
raign of 40 must everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
couragcd by their joyous ancipations OF the future
it is true a nightmare Of treachery now rests upon
the energies Of the party; but shall we not arouse
to the importance of the political conflict which is
about to ensue! There at this time fUe OPPOSE
ton papers at the Seat of Government, each, in its
way endeavorng to sap the foundations OF the Wing
party, and blasting the prosperity Of the country
by tho measures they propose. Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these emissares, whose
corrupt and arocious motives manifest by their
early wrangling spoils which they never can win
We know the response of millions Of freemen will
be 'sAy, RALLy!" Already the " hum Of either
army Silly sounds' already the general furnishing
of gives dreadful note Of preparation = then
let ours be bright and death-dealng sword in the
conflict. Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is inscribed Liberty, Order the Consstu-
ton J" whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, and whose
patriotism has never been exceed-iet us RAINY Tor
