WHAT ARE THE WHIGs ?--The follow
ing definition ofihe principles of Wing,
we give for the benefit of those who af-
feet to despise the name. II is from the
pen of Benjamin franklin
"The Wing lives 10 every state, but
wishes to live only in free state. He
claims no right in himself bu, what he
is willing to give to his neighbor. He
is not listed in sec,s by bounds, nor
keep 10 them by prejudice his mind
is not contracted by systems, nor sa-
cred bigots q; i. is open to God and ma.
lure he is not attached 10 persons or
factions but TO things, TO justice, to ib-
erty, TO virtue and to his country. He
adheres to men who adhere these; and
adheres to them no longer than they
adhere TO those. With like contempt
of promises and menaces, unawed by
powsr he is attached to these. Not
lurking like drone TO reap what 9TH
ers sow, he cheerfu'ly acts his part 10
society he does what he can he en-
deayois, within his sphere to promote
the general welfare. No matter what
you call him, what his name, his pro.
fession, or the title of his religion
This is Whig.'"

The following resolution, yesterday Of
fered by Mr.. Upton, was taken up for con-
sideration:
Resolrcd, That the Secretary of Wal
be requested to transmit to the Senate an
estimate Of the cost of constructing bridge
over the River Wabash, at the crossing OF
the Cumberland Road; and also, Report
as to the practicability Of constructing said
bridge on such plan as not TO obstruct the
navigation of the River at any stage Of wa
ter; and should the files Of the Department
not now furnish the information sought for
by this resolution, that the Secretary will
cause it to be procured, and reported to the
Senate at an early day in the next session
iOf Congress.
Mr. Upton said that this was a mere
resolution of inquiry, to ascertain the pro-
liable cost and practicability Of erecting a
bridge across the Wabash. If it could be
done without lnterrupting the navigation of
the river, it would be very desirable. Sew
eral States were interested in the bridge
more than the state from which he came
1t would be admitted by every one, that the
mail, in travelling farther west, and having
to csoss this river to the Cumberland road,
would be greatly accommodated by the e.
rect'on Of bridge. Much difficulty was
at present experienced in passing the river,
owing TO the sudden rise and fall oft by
freshets. And, in winter particularly, he
inconvenience was felt. There is a por-
ton Of the winter when the ice floats, that
the river cansot be passed at all, and then
all travelling must be suspended. 1t was
vastly important, that, if the bridge was
built, il should be on such plan as that il
would not obstruct the navigation Of the
Wabash. He should be guided in his vote
as TO the appropriation for this sridge, by the
information he should obtain, whether il
could Be built without causing any obstruc-
tion to the navigation Of the river; and the
inquiry could, at least, do no harm, and
would b satisfactory to most those inter-
esfed.
The resolution was then agreed to.
