PR OSPE CT U.s..

YTHE undersigned, believing that cheap daily
Wing newspaper at the seat Of Government
would prove valuable auxiliary to the wing cause S,
during the approaching Presidential contest, will
publish, o., the first Monday in Nouenber 'erb
thorough and decided Wing paper, entitled,
THE W HIG STANDARD,
devoted to the principles and policy Of that party as
laid down in the following declarations by HENRY
CLAY: ,s ff
GA sound National Currency, regulated by the
will and authority Of the Nation;
9. can adequate revenue, with fair protection to
American Industry;
q lust restraints on the Executive Power, embrac-
mo further restrictions on the exercise OF the
Veto;
A. GA faithful administration Of the fuDnc DOMAIN
with an equitable distribution of the proceeds ofthe
sales of it among the States; -,
S. An honest and economical admnlstramoh Vi tns
General Government, leaving public officers per
feet freedom of thought, and OF the right OF SUI
frage 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 ana
ardent Wing will favorably respond. The hearts OF
the Wing army, whose ranks were unbroken and
whose banners aoated unstricken during the cam
paign of '4O must everywhere, swell with glorious
nrde at the memory Of the past and their hopes en-
fonraged 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 are at this time tUe opposl-
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 emissares, whose
corrupt and arocious motives manifest by their
early wrangling for spois which they never can VIA
We know the response of millions OF freemen Will
be cay, RALLY!'' Already the hum OF either
army Silly sounds' already the general furnishing
of arms "giyes 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 Cot'ssi'-
iiou whose great political and personal virtues
endear him to every generous heart, and whose
natriotsm has never been excelled-et us RAINY TOE
HENaY CLAY, the Statesman and Sage, the iriend OF
the workingman, the idol of his country, which, LOT
forty years next to his God has had his chief care
