The State guard., 1848-09-05

ODl. SdCkS0n. lillS HcHtteiudH WdS otlC of a respectable delegation, from our sis- tor State. His address, and especially tha, part of it which told of tho downfall of Iancoyism and of the majority of thou. sands of which Alabama would roll up in November for Cass and Butler, was re- ceiyed with thundcrs of applause.
 The hour of Dinner having now arri- vod, tho company proceeded to the Barba- tuc. This, iti Is said by those who wit messed the scene, was disposed of with q gusto not unlike. that with which the speeches of the morning had been devour- ed
 The Dinner over, the crowd assem- bled again at the place appointed for speak ing. After few remarks from Col. W. J. Lawien of Scriven, NJ. II. McAllister, was introduced, who for two hours, en. chained the attention of numerous and wearied audience. His speech for the most part, was a succinct, clear, logical, stcsmanlike argument. In it's peroration there were bursts of eloquence which for beauty. brilliancy and power, are rarely equallcd and perhaps were never surpas- sod. While Mr. McAllister was speak Ing at one place, Col. A. H. Chapel, Judge Conc, and Col. II. Starke, were addressing crowd composed of thou sands, at another. It is said by those who heard them, that these gentlemen, always able, never surpassed the ability the eyin- ced on this accession.
 But it would be tedious. to enter into a detail of all the speeches made. The speaking commenced on Monday after noon, and closed at l2 o'clock on Tuesday night. During that interval, besides the gentlemen already named, the following among others at different times, responded to the calls made upon them, viz :--Mcs. srs. K. w. Flournoy, Wm. Mckinley, E. R. Brown, P. Ingram, James Jackson, R F.. McMillan, W. B. Pryor, k. Clark, Mr. Phinizy, Col. Chastain, sl.. Fielder, l.. J Glenn, and John l.. Harris.
 Upwards of sixty counties were repre- sented in the meeting. The aggregate no one could number. It was variousl, estimatcd at from to 20,000. Field off cera returned from Mexlco, and who were as competent and had better opporiunit, than others, to form correct estimate placed the number at from l2 to l5,000 No similar meeting that has ever conyen cd in the State, it may safely be affirmed was ever marked by greater order and de corum. In none was there ever evincei moro ardent enthusiasm, or q more un yielding confidence in the correctness o their principles and in their ultimate an, certain triumph.
 TIE CAs, AND BUTLER CAKE.
 Near the close of the day, the Presi dent announced that he had committed t' his charge, a mammoth Cake, presented by tho Democratic ladies of Chatham and read the following letter:
