The stand bad been creeled in tho pleasant grove near the depot; upon it were seated the oflieers of the da}' and tho distinguished speakers, whilst before and around were the ample Reals which bad been provided fur the accommodation of the audience. Yf m. 1C.

He upoke substantially as follows: Twelve year* ago, the citizens ol Bdgelicld and Abbeville j)j;stricLs convened in this grove at a. public demonstration in honor of the services of the lamented 1\ ft. Brooks. We were then fighting tho lialllcH of the Constitution. For . twenty years prior to that period. ; thin contest has been waged with the most determined energy on the part of tho South. At three successive periods, when this content would have reached its crisis, :uyl when we were about to wize tho banner of t'onstilu\ tional victory, it has eluded our In ltt">0 we were deceived and betrayed by tlio introduction of palliative measures, and when those measures were acccded to on the part of t!?e South, they instantly Ceased to he executed. Again in 1S57 were tlie principles oi' the Constitution violated by the application of the doctrine of tHpvafcler sovereignty to the Territories of the United States, designedly in opposition to the compromise features of the KansasOs'ehraska act of * l?5*l; and thus, in every iustanco in i . , iwhieh the South has heeu hctvayed V "by the introduction of these Trojan \ monsters, hearing within the elcmen4s of death, they have liecn the work; , tranship of men from the South. So great wove the dissensions in our own ranks, that in 1SOO they were enabled to t.iiumph willvout the aid of a com promise. They avowed their deter initiation lo put their own construction upon the organic law of the tarul, and to require the literal f'nltillmcnt of that construction at our hands. Jn vain then were all e(TorIs at. compromi** to avert the approaching storm. They. tOf?k complete control of the Government, from which resulted one of the most disa;?trou?'.
