I'm Monday last, Senator Bright Of Indiana.
delivered an address to the friends Of Breckin'
ridge and Lane, in the Methodist Church I'M
Patriot, Switzerland county. lie introduced
his speech by commenting on the characteristic,
state Of parties, and reiterated the statement,
which he has heretofore made. that the Demo
Gratis had no regularly nominated candidate In
the field but that he designed 10 vote for MIR
breckenridge. and asked: "Are they all boilers
anil all wrong, and this little immaculate squat
ter sovereign from Illinois right' answer,
spl criticism-sad commentary on the histor,
Of the democratic party. II all its brains and
nil its heart is merged in the person Of one
single little man." Then having sketched the
proceedings Of the Convention, and eSpound-
eli the platforms, Senator Bright touched upon
the bred Scott decision, and told how Il was
regarded by the two sections Of Democracy.
The following are some further extracts from
his speech. Mr.. Bright said
There has been an effort made in this State
a. compel the Democratic party so vote for
Stephen A. Douglas in November. They never
intend to do 1t. There are men in II that never
will do Il. His aniecedents forbid IL.
Vow say there are men BY hundreds, by
III Yusands, who don't intend to support Mr..
Douglas in the canvass. We intend to stand
BY Breckinridge and Lane, and the platform
they stand on. II were to tell you that We
expect to carry the State, Ishould tell you that
which don't believe. sm not here to create
Hopes and make representations that are
not likely to be realized. The friends Of Breck-
inridge and Lane do not expect to give them
tho vote Of Indiana. In an Inflated hour this
douglas organization has sapped our founda-
tiun and taken from US our strength. We see
tive deplore IL. We lament that we cannot
alter Il; but this consideration shall not deter,
us from marching forward like men, with the
fg Of our principles in our hands, calling up
ON our friends to stand by us, for II we do not
succeed in 1850, We will maintain our status as
consistent and sound democrats. Our record
viii not be sullied. We viii have an organira-
