The Bridge Place Convention.
We learn from an Illinois correspondent hat the
proceedings of the "Bridge Place Convention" which
we exposed some weeks since as hoax have been
heralded all over the State as an Indication Of the
tone of public sentiments in Tennessee wihrefrenee
to Judge DOUGLAS. The friends Of this gentleman
have certainly very little discrimination 10 allowing
themselves to be deceived By 'caaaTd transI a.
rent as this We doubt whether there is an individ-
ual in the Sta eother than the heroes Of the Bridge
1
pulses of true Southernman to desire the election
of Judge DOUGLAS to the Presidency The sympathy
which has been expressed for him refers only TO the
present canvass, and those who prefer him to LIN
coin regard il as q choice of evils. Il seems how
ever, that the msmbe's of the Bridge Place Conyen
vention are determined to sustain its geuuiueness
aud respectable y. We find in the Washington
States the following card with comments endorsing
the reliability Of the parties:
JOzBsBORo', Oct 90 1858
To the editor Of the States;
Understanding 'h4l Washington paper has doubt
ed the genuineness IF public meeting held Bridge

he purpose of making sport Of the friend of Douglas
aud the Democracy, SO. This we deny. The whole
b dy we're Democrats Il was an enthusiastic aud
bona fds meeting of a large number of Democrats,
goIeR up for the purT Of giving their views and
EXPIRE sing heir pre- elections in regard Ocsnddates
for the EeKt Presidency, &C., as expressed in the
proceedings Of the meeting.

GALBOT GREEBE
Welesrn from highly respectable gentleman who
derives his information from Mr. GREENE himself
that Bridge Place is small building JonesbOro
where the parties temporarily reside. The only
members of this Large and enthusiastic meeting
we're Mr.-GREENE, Mr.. GRAHAM, OF Pennsylvania
aud two other persons known about JonesbOro' as
GoUsrnOr Holmes and Colonel Britt. We hope these
four worthless will attain the object of their ambi
ton and will go down to pOsteri'y hand in hand, as
the aulhors of the Bridge Place Resolutions.
