What is o Whig2

A Wing, says the Wheeling Gazette,is
not politician, in the ordinary acceptation
of the word, but patriot--one who regards
hehonor and prosperity Of the country as
paramount to all earthly considerations
one''who never looses sight of great national
principles; who will do no wrong TO accom-
plish party success; who never strives to
mislead others, or expresses opinions he
does not entertain; who, having formed his
opinions of public measures permits no cir
cumstances to change him or swerve him
from feeling speaking and acting in behalf oil
those settled principles, and only changes
his opinions of measures when convinced
that national expediency demands that
change. He regards not the party with
which he acts, or the character of the men
who may be associated with him. They may
be ungrateful; they may be dishonest; they
may maliciously prosecute him; but he re-
mains still to be thorough Wing. There
may be men in the party, or protesting the
same general principles, which he would not
support; but he relies on his principles, and
stands firm TO them, awaiting time when an
: opportunity for supporting man whom he
could approve, to carry out those principles
shall occur; but he never will fail TO sup.
port man but from full conviction of his
f dishonesty or incapacity.
S The true Wing looks up to principles
t as his guide and guard. He will be jealous
a when alone. He wavers not to the RICH
o nor to the left; prosperous in high places, o
n PROSTATE in the dust, he looks onward ant
S upward to the star of his genius-rectitud
e and presses on in the pathto it. He see
e the earth rent by the volcano and the earth
d quake-he sees the tornado sweep over
v and PROSTATE all that grows upon its bosom
l. but the earth is not shaken from its course
e it moves on in its orbit steadily and firmly
IS swerving not from its track; and shall etel
lie nal principles In theself-poised mind be les
ID firm and steadfast than this ball of earth?-
This it is to be whig.

Gov, Cobb's Address.

We find in the Washington papers, the
address of Gov. Cobb, of Georgia, on the
occasion of his recent Inauguration. The
Washington Republic thus speaks of it:
1t expresses broad appreciation of the
compromise, and patriotic determination
to abide by it as settlement Essential tc
the permanence of the Republic" Mr.
Cobb's remarks in reference to the Union
the renewal of his pledge to cooperate il
maintaining it against the assaults of fanati
cisms-and his appeals to the extremes o
both sections, are pregnant with patriotism
and will add to the respect already excited
by the course he has pursued during tn,
recent eventful times.

E5@Life is as a day. 1t has its morn,
its noon, its eve and night-it has its youth,
manhood, age and death. At dawn the sun
rises from the horizon-as the child from
the cradle, radiant with the rich purple
drapery Of heaven. The young mind ex-
pands in hope and joy to start upon the won
derous track Of life. The sun-god moves to
the central heavens, and this is manhood
the midday of life-the zenith of mans
transient glory. Soon, too soon; he passes
down the waning declivity of the sky, and
this is the decline and eve-the age and
turn of human existence. 1t is then that
the frail form Of man is shrievelled by years
his soul as dim as the setting sun. The
part which was his, is done--the sun quits
the earth, its march is over; and comes upor
man in the night. The body is hid in earth
and when his offspring, like another sun
smiles again at dawn. the man of yesterday
is seen no more; yet, the understandable mat
ter of his soul forms the immortal glory O
that sun, and thus will it move in its eter
nifty through all the gradations of nature ant
of time. Thus is death like unto the fading
lonliness of sunset-life departs in its dark
ness, to change its form and rise again viii
another and brighter sun, robed in the splen
dor of its Immortality.

Affairs In Washington.

WASHINGTON, November Q.
1t is stated that Mr.. Benton will set out
this afternoon for the West. He will re-
main in Missouri until after the election
next August for members of Congress and
the Legislature. AS soon as he reaches st.
Louis he will announce himself candidate
for Representative in Congress from that
District, and he expects TO be engaged in
the canvass with little intermission until
after the election. informed you in my
asst that his book would not be ready for
the press SO soon by several months as had
been announced. 1t is said that he has re-
ceived from F. P. Blair the manuscripts
which Gen. jackson deposited with him, to
be used in posthumous defence of himself,
during his political and military career.
Whatever Mr.. Benton may do now is not of
material interest to those engaged in the
partisan contests of the time. Even should
he succeed in the canvass for a seat in Con-
gress, he would be seventy-two years Of
age when the time arrived for taking hi:
place in that body-a period of life wher
politicians are little courted and less feared.
Mr.. Calhoun's posthumous work on gov
eminent excites good deal of enquiry ant
+ criticism. 1t will add nothing to that dis
tinguished mans reputation, either as re
CARDS his intellectual ability or his love G
r and confidence in republicanism. Thi
book reveals his plan for the overthrow G
t the Constitution by the substitution of
r totally different scheme. He proposed
e make at once two nations of the America
: people by the appointment of two Executive
S of equal power, one from the North and on
t from the South. He well knew that tn
/, government would have been stopped an

SuIcIDE.-A shoemaker, named Peter
man, who was in the employ of Mr.. Sasse,
committed very deliberate suicide in this
town, last Saturday night, by taking lauda-
mum. He had a wife, and was in easy cir
cumstances, but was a free drinker, and in
bad health. Nothing unusual was noticed
in his department during the day; but in the
evening, he went to Drug store, procured
a two ounce phial of laudanum, and drank it
down in lumber, before he could be pre-
vented. He expressed himself tired of liv-
ing; ard though an emetic was forced on him
and partial vomiting excited, yet he was de-
termincd to die, and expired some time be-

From Correspondence of Bait Sun.


1t is believed that negotiations are pend
ing between this Government and that of
Spain in reference to the release Of all the
American prisoners ofthe Lopez expedition.
The prisoners are to be released upon the
condition that proper PREPARATION be made to
the Spanish consul for the injuries and in
dignities which he suffered and that COM
pensation be made to Spanish residents of
New Orleans for any loss incurred by them
in the late riots.
The State Of Louisiana may possibly pro-
vide for the remuneration Of the Spaniards
for any losses they incurred. This Govern
ment will, therefore, have nothing more to
do than, in an official dispatch, to disavow
any act injurious to the Consul. If Louis
lana does not make the provision for the re-
enumeration of the Spanish residents, then,
| suppose, the Administration may recon-
mend that it be made by Congress-though
there are certainly strong objections TO pay
ing money out Of the treasury for such an
object; thus making the General Govern
ment responsible for deficiencies in the police
Of our cities. It's to be hoped that Mr.
Thrasher, if he does not die in Prison, will
be embraced in the arrangement for the lib.
Grafton of American prisoners.
Judge Sharkie is about to go to his Ha.
vana consulate, and Consul Owen is about
TO come TO Washington for the purpose o
indicating his consulor conduct, and de
manding redress from the Republic and als'
from President Fillmore. He gave the bes
excuse he could for for obeying his order
and treating the prisoners as outlaws ant
pirates. According to some accounts, h
9 even strained the facts in order to render thu
explanation plausible. ION.

New YoRK, Nov, 10,

New YoRK, Nov. IS.
The steamer Georgia, from New Orleans
via Havana, arrived this morning, bringing
the mails and passengers by the steamer IL
linois from Chagres.
The Illinois met with an accident to her
machinery on the passage from Chagres,
which detained her at Havana.
The Georgia brings about one and half
millions in gold dust on freight and 100000
in the hands of passengers, of whom there
are $50.
John S. Thrasher had been found guilty
of treason at Havana, and sentenced to 8
years in the chain gang.
At Chagres the difficulties between the
Americans and natives still continued; 80
Americans and 10 natives are reported to
be killed. When the Illinois sailed the
Americans were preparing to storm the
fort.

Mail Facilities.

We are gratifed to observe that the re-
cent order of the Post Office Department,
giving this State increased mail facilities,
is being properly looked at and discussed,
in this section of country, which seems to
have been purposely driven round. In our
last, we gave the new routes, and increase of
service, and pointed out the injustice to the
people Of this section. Since then, we
have conversed with number of business
men and most intelligent citizens of the
country, and find but one opinion on the
fubiect-decided condemnation.
The mail matter for this side of the
river, is not, as we understand the arrange
ment, to be sent by the south-sde daily line,
except from Boonville, where the north-side
daily terminates. Thence it goes to Lex
ington, crosses the river again, tri-weekly,
intersecting the main route at Richmond, on
the alternate days of the present tri-weeekly,
TO Weston, making a daily mail to that point.
The reason urged for this crossing and re-
crossing the river, and skipping the country
from Rocheport to Richmond, is, that the
matter for the north side cannot be conveyed
on this side, over our roads, between these
two points. We are quite satisfied the road
from Rocheport to Brunswick, is not worse
than the same distance on the other side
and so far as certainty is concerned, particu-
larly in the winter season, with good teams
and energetic superintendent, the time can
be made with more regularity from Bruins
wick to Richmond, than it can be on the
other side, with the mo crossings of the
river. The saving of distance is unimpor-
liant, in point of fact; but were this not the
case, the object of mail service is to accom-
modate populous and business districts OF
the country-and in this point of view, the
north side of the Missouri river, as every
well-iniormed person knows, is entitled to
extra favors, instead of slight, or neglect
Leaving out St. Louis, the starting point,
there are on the south side of the Missouri
river but eight thousand and ninety-six
more white inhabitants than on the north
side--those on the south being two hundred
and fifty-seven thousand and sixty-four
(257 ,o64,) and on the north two hundred
and thirty-eight thousand nine hundred ant
sixty-eight, (23S, $685. although there are
but forty-four counties on the north side ant
ffty-six upon the south side of the river
and double the area of territory.
Now, the counties that there has been Sc
much apparent pains taken to get around, a,
well as those contiguous, which would b,
alike benefited, will not suffer by compare
son, as to population, business, postal re-
ceipts, or in any other way, with thos,
above or below, or on the other side of tn,
river. These facts are sufficient in oul
view, to entitle us to daily mail, Direct,
through--and when properly presented
as they will be, we trust will be equal,
satisfactory to the department.
There are other facts which present them
solves, and should be noticed in this connec
ton, but our time and space are alike ex
hsusted for this issue.

New ORLEANS, Nov. Is.


The steamship Fanny from Brazos con-
firms the report of Carvajal's abandoning
the siege of Matamoras. The failure is at
tributed to the want of military capacity
and indecision. There was perfect STAN
pedo among his forces, increased by the re-
port that a large Mexican reinforcement
was near, which proved groundless. Sub:
sequently Carvajal took post at Reynosa,
where many rejoined him.
A Rio Bravo paper says that Capt. Ford
had recovered, and will rcjoin Carvajal and
continue the war. The Mexicans are great

The attention of the public had been
mainly directed to French affairs. The As
sembly had met and the President had de-
livered his message, the chief feature Of
which was a demand for universal suffrage,
with some very light restrictions; the min
istry ask the Assembly to declare the pro-
posed measure urged. The Assembly re-
fused by reclamation, thus the Executive
and Legislative power was placed in direct
opposition. The result was anxiously wal

Public tranquility remained undisturbed

We learn that this distinguished states
man will to-day leave Washington for his
home in Missouri, where he will remain
until after the August elections. 1t is known
that the ant-Benton portion of the D.moc-
racy OF that State, comprising about third
of the party, we believe, have proposed to
re-unite with the Benton Democrats
Against this Mr.. Benton protests, and de-
clares they shall be driven into the Wing
party, rather than effect such COALITION
He will attend to the matter in person, and
devote his whole energy, from this time out,
to the success and publication of the Dem
ocratic party in Missouri.
Respecting Mr.. Benton's historical work,
some very erroneous reports have been cir
culated. 1t is not ali written yet, and will
be laid aside until his return to Washington
next autumn. He will then carefully re-
wise every sentence he has written, and go
on to the completion ofthe work. 1t shall go

fectons that the utmost patience and labor
will enable him to remove. He is determin-
ed that it shall be in all respects worthy a
