CErThe above paragraph was doubtless ELECTED by
the appearance of article in paper some weeks
since, in which we stated Hon. JESSE ID. BRIGHT,
was not candidate for U. s. Senator. We meant
by that remark simply this, that Mr.. Bright scoula
take steps 10 promote has election. We are glad to
nd however, that he has friends in every section of
the State, who favor his election, and proper
time, will present his name.
We think it ilberal to draw comparison between
the merits and claims of The different distinguished
men of the Democratic party, who are spoken of In
connexion with this high Office.
The station is too elevated not to be worthy the
ambition of the most aspiring, and if Mr. Bright be
the choice of the Democratic party not to be sup
posed, he would decline distinguished honor.
Many gentlemen, In various parts OF the State, are
named in connection with this high station, none of
Whom understood to be candidates but any one
of whom we doubt not would be proud to be the
preventative of the State, in the U. S. Senate. If
they would not, they different from other men,
