Being moved by the sport Of curl
osity. /. in company with . goodly
number Of my Douglas. as well as Re-
publican friends. attended the Bell
and Everett meeting called at the
Court House on the evening of the
llth inst. for the purpose Of selecting
delegates to attend the State Conven.
ton, to be held at indianapolis on
the 18th inst.
After the meeting had been organ
lied, and the delegates appointed. to
my utter astonishment. who but his
Honor. jeremiah Smith, came for
ward, took the stand and addressed
the meeting. | was the more sur
prised from the fact that the same day
| had travelled all the way to Union
City to attend grand Douglas meet
ing where | heard the Judge make an
out an olt Douglas speech, in which
he denounced the Administration and
Breckenridge with all his admirers as
disunionists and traitors to the Demo
cratic household. That |. in so short
time, should see and hear the Judge
making a speech for Bell meeting
and urging that he Bell J would car
ry nearly all the Free States with the
entire South, not only astonished me,
but threw damper on my Douglas
ardor.
While the Judge was thus speaking,
the question REQUIRED to my mind tina,
if Bell was to carry SO many Northern
States, with Lincoln the balance,
where was Douglas to get his votes
from. Taking the Judges view Of
the case. it was plain to be seen :ha,
he 1.-THE Judge) was bound to be or
the winning side. principle or no prin.
ciple.
AS the leader of the Douglas party
in our County, and for the indefatagi
BILE manner in which he has beer
working for Douglas l have not only
admired him, but with him followed
in the wake of Douglas. Left with
out leader, l felt myself like the mar
liner at mid sea without q compass
In looking around, however, and az
ter examining the platforms of the diff
ferent parties. l have come to the con
clusion that. SO far as Slavery in The
Territories is concerned, the question
will be settled just as soon as it is lie
cided whether or not slaves are prop.
erty: if decided that they are. then the
position of Mr. Brekinridge is correct
and the doctrine or platform which
"protects the rights of persons and
property" by the Federal Government,
also seems to me correct.
Taking this view of the question
| have. for the present at least. mad,
up my mind to vote for Major Breck
inridge and Joseph Lane.
