Mr. Bright proceeded to show the irregulari-
tv of the proceedings that resulted in the NOM
ination of Douglas. He called attention to the
political complexion of the States that nomina-
led Douglas and said:
Did he get the vote of single State in that
Convention that has Democratic vote to give
in November next? Voices, "no.") Name
one. a voice, "Indiana.'O Indiana! When
the heavens fall (said he, with intense scorn-
ftllness.-Rep) The Convention that met at
Baltimore became dismembered political or
ganization They were unable to agree among
themselves. They agreed to disagree.
Mr. Bright proceeded TO analyze the differ
ences between the platforms. He said:
Upon the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
line that this gentleman acted SO conspicuous a
part in repeating, and which, SO far as the alb
straet principle is concerned admit was right,
but 4 policy that altrdys doubted; upon the re-
peal of the Missouri Compromise it was agreed
that the question of territorial organization and
territorial government, should be submitted to
the decision of the country.
= Has that onestion been decided by the
highest judicial tri bunal known to your Consti-
tuition? There is some diversity of opinion on
that point, but there is no mau who is a LAWYER,
that has examined the Dred Scott case, as it is
called, but that will admit that the principle |
have referred 10 has been decided clearly and
distinctly. While the Supreme Court of
the T:nited States bv onr fundamental law. is
made the iudoe of RIGHTS arisipo under that Con-
stitution. we must he Governed by this decision.
There is no man who loves law and order. who
desires peace and ouietude: who would perpet-
uafe This Glorious government for wears to come
as il has been in wears past but will admit that,
however much in principle he may be opposed
TO the decision OF the Supreme Court. he is
bound nevertheless. TO obey and stand by its
INDICTMENT. Mr.. Douglas takes the eround

If t6ere had hoe, j., roorlar

have been the duty of every man protesting the
faith TO have adhered TO it. to have laid aside all
personal feeling and opposition. l apprehend
such would have been the course on the part of
the Democratic party in every State of the
Union.
Here Dir. Bright argued that Breckenridge
was The best REPRESENTATIVE of Democratic prip
ciplcs. and should therefore. as there was no
regular nomination. be voted for. He proceed
ed: f''''
find no fault with any man claiming to be
4 Democrat for voting for Mr.. Douglas. Go and
vote for him if YOU believe in doing so YOU are
ncrnetuatipp the faith taupbt Inv that anostle of
liberty, Thomas Jefferson. If YOU believe that
Dougias is the representative of the Democratic
PRINCIPLES that | have referred TO. vote for him.

Mr.. Bright don't want to go into who
tlrst started 1t. ANTI -Loconapton'sm started the
boiling party IN Indiana, and demoralIzed the
Democratic party; and the men who demoral-
lied it and are engaged In this movement, are
now claiming to be leaders, and wanting to ride
men that have been forty years In your service,
out of the party. They wish to place the old
radical, true Democracy, in the position of a
bucket to their tail with US in it Daughter and
