The spirit of the people is fully amused. They ure determined that (his fair heritage <>f their fathers shall not pars from their hands without ft struggle?that, come what may, they will show the s,?irit of men who know their rights and dare, maintain them. The courtesy of those puhli?--spiritcd gentlemen, President Hammc-tt and Superintendent Meredith, had placed a handsome accommodation train at the servico of our citizens, and by fi o'clock a. m., wu were making good ' time .behind the pufling locomotive, with a fair representation from Abbeville, under the care of that polite t conductor, Mr. Geo. JL. Isaacs. On board was our distinguished fellowcitizen, the Hon. A. Burt, one of the speakers of the day; and in his pros viu'o, wc leit that wc carricd "Ca\sarand Lis fortunes." All regret ted the absence of Gen. McCiowan. who w:is known to have ma<le ample preparations for, and to have been eagerly loooking forward to the occasion, but was detained by sickness at the eleventh hour'. At Hodges', wc took in Col. D. W. Aiken, thn canvasser for this Congressional District, and others; and with fresh accessions at JDonaldsville, Honca Pat h and Bolton, we reached Anderson with a crowded car. At Ilonca Path, wo took in tbe Greenville brass band, who .enlivened us with HOmo sweet music, and whoso eoul-stirring airB during the day contributed very much to the pleasures of ?he occasion. Arriving at 10 o'clock, an hour's interval enabled us to visit the Village, which was already "thronged with the incoming tide. Wo met. here many of our citizens from- tho upper part of the District who had cemc in priVato convoy an ecs, and had tho pleamiro of reiaewtng inivny army acquaintances aiftong citiaCns of the Upper Districts.

A clear, full nuiMcal voice, a cultivated j and graceful delivery, and an ornate j figurative style, set, oil" to advantage j the clear Ptuternent and vhe logical ar j guineat. ile coinuienccd with a beautiful allusion to those Ktining duties j and ongrossing interests, in tho spiritof j which aud in bohali of which, he came as tho advocate oi tho Democralic party.

In tho course of his argument, he called attention to the fact that though unundcr tho present Stato Constitution many are excluded from oftioo, but few are deprived of the right of suffrage, and he made an oarnost appeal, ! that by united and'untiring ctTori *\vo I may make ever}' veto available at the nftVt.dloOtmn 2s*c::t followed our distinguished fellow citizen, llto lion.

Ilis ppyueb was of more tujya ordinary ability, and was rccolved witb profound attention, and roueb applauao.
