high order OF talent. cannot fail to secure
him position in the very front rank Of the

Brooks demonstration on Friday last, at
which we had the pleasure Of being. our
limited space precul,s anvthing like full
report of the proceedings of the occasion.
1t was certainly the largest asscmblar. of
the people we have ever seen in South Car
olina. There were at least, we should Judge,
six thousand persons present; some say
seven, others eight, and others again even
ten thousand.
The dinner provided was really IA trcmcn-
dous one-fuly adequate to the wants of
the vast asscmblagc. and even more, for, AS
we were told, there were left some fifteen or
twenty carc;ses untouched, after all l,;ul
partakcn.
At about l o'clock Dr. S. V. Cain, Pres
i,lent of the Dav, called the meeting to
order, and double column, forming an
avenue from the stand to the hotel, WIS
formed. Down this avenue, Col. Brooks.

A. P. Butler, J. L. Orr, ID. l.. Warllaw,
Gen. S. MCGOWAN, Col. 4. II. Gla.llep. and
other invited guests, was conducted to the
stand After stirring air from the Bands,
Dr.. Cain rose and welcomed the audience,
who had met to do honor to their gallant
Representative. This demonstration. he
said, would show their approval Of his
course on all occasions, anil cspcriall,y the
last act-a noble and daring act, and one
which may yet be the means Of fastening
the issue Of equality or di<union. His re-
marks were appropriate, and well delivered.
Gen. MCGOWAN was then introduced az
the orator of the day, and was received with
a hearty greeting of annlause. Tie nro.
ceeded IN an able and truly eloquent manner
70 discharge the honorable duty to which
ne nao oeeh called, and, as one Of his
