The Whig standard. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1843-1844, 1844-03-09
PROSPE c TU S.

THE undersigned, believing that cheap daily
J. Wing newspaper at the seat OF Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the Wing cause
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
publish, ON the first Monday in November neat,
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE WING STAN DARD,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
aid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY:
ga sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority of the Nation;
g. Gan adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry;
g. Just restraints the Executive Power, embrac-
ing further restrictions on the exercise OF the
Veto;
asa faithful administration of the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds ofthe
sa6sof it among the States;
S. San honest and economical administration Of the
General Government leaving public ofhcers per-
feet freedom of thought, and of the right OF suf-
rage but with suitable restraints against improper
interference in elections;
6. can amendment of the Constitution limiting the
incumbent of the Presidential Office to single
term
To this annunciation we believe every true and
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbrokcn, and
whose banners fOated unstricken during the cam
raign of 40 must everywhere, swell with glorious
pride at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
couraged by their joyous anticpatons 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 ipe OPPOSE
ton papers at the Seat of Government cech, 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 emssarles, whose
corrupt and atrocous motives are manifest by their
early wranging forspos which they never can WIN!
We know the response of millions OF freemen will
be GAY, 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 deathdealing sword IN the
conflict Let us rally under leader upon whose
standard is inscribed Liberty Order, the Co,sstttt-
ton J" whose great political and personal virtues
endear his1 TO every generous heart, and whose
patriosuh never been exceiled-let US rally 'of
Henry Car the Statesman and Sage, the friend OF
the workingman the idol of his country, which, for
forty wears, next to his God has had his chief care
