DEFINITION OF THE WORD, "WHIG" IN
THE UNITED STATEs.-What were the
Wings in l7762 Those who signed tho
Declaration of independence those who
fought through the Revolutionary War
those who framed the Constitution oil
the United States.
Why were our fore!athers compelled
TO sign the Declaration of Independence
Because they we're most egregously OPP
pressed and because their remonstrances,
made again and again, were UNDECIDED by
the British Government; therefore feel
ing just indignation against our parent
country for repeated wrongs and injuries
sustained by them; they took up arms 10
defend their rights aud forever to Tree
their country from bondage, tyran-
ny and oppression; they were then and
have been ever since, not only known, but
called Wings of the United States.
From the above, as well as the whole
history of our country, it is time that the
above word should have a correct defni-
ton assigned il in the United States.
Therefore, its true definition can be Meth
er more nor less than; opposition to OPP
pression,' let il emanate from either for
egn or domestic toe--at the same time,
in favor of equal rights, republican instl-
tutons and principles.
