YT,HE undersigned, believing that cheap daily
il Wing newspaper at the seat of Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
publish on ie first Monday in November neat,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE w HIG STAN D ARD,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY:
ga sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority of the Nation;
9. IAN adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry;
g. just restraints on the Executive Power, embrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF the
Veto; .
a." faithful administration OF the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds ofthe
sales of it among the States;
8 sAn honest and economical administration OF the
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;
6, tAn amendment OF the Constitution limiting the
incumbent of the Presidential, Office to single
term"
To this annunciaton we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Whig army, whose ranks were unDroken, ana
whose banners Aoated unstricken during the CAM
pride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
coaraged by their joyous anticipatons OF the future
It Is true a nightmare of treachery 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 are at this time fire opposi-
tion papers at the Seat of Government, esch, in its
way endeavoring to sap the foundations OF the Whg
party, and blasting the prosperity Of the country
by the measures they propose. Shall we not rally
against the foes excited by these emssarles, whose
corrupt and atrocious motives are manifest Dy their
early wrangling for spoils which they never can win
We know the response of millions OF freemen VIII
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-dealing sword in the
conflict Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is inscribed Liberty Order, the Co,lstitas-
tion J" whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, and whose
pariotisn has never been excelledlet us rally Tor
