The Wheeling Bridge.

The Hartford Times regards the act of Con-

they have bearing, so far as relates TO inter
ference with natural rights, on the bridge now

or 10 sustain the Bridge, Congress at its last
session fastened 10 declare the Bridge to he
post road. IL is an assumption and stretch
OF power on the part Of Congress, unjust to
all parties in interest, and in direct conflict
with the Judiciary, and the department of
the government. Moreover, if the structure
was in its inception illegal, violating the
rights OF others, interrupling great natural
highway, Congress could not signalize the
lllegality by establishing what was wrong
from the beginning as post road. Are not
some OF our Virginian friends in their zeal
for matter Of private interest, forgelful not
only Of right, but of the great fundamental
principles on which they have hitherto prid-
ell themselves? They are shelteriDg them
selves against the wrong inflicted on Pensyl-
vanin, under cenralizing act Of Congress,
which they and the Bridge Company have
procured Congress to enact.
