Ti HE Undersigned propose to publish in the Town of Oxford, Granville County, North Carolina, a paper ' to be entitled the DISTRICT DEMOCRAT, devoted to Politics. Agriculture, and General Intelligence, pro vided a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained to justify them in the undertaking. They deem it un necessary to enter into a minute detail of their politi cal tenets, but think it will suffice to say, that they are opposed to the political measures of the miscalled Whig Party ; believing them to be subversive of our Constitu tion, dangerous to our civil liberty, injurious to the wel fare of our country, and our peace and prosperity as a na tion. With such belief, we will oppose by every fair and uuuuiduie menus, luccirtiiuuui 1 1 euiy v iay 01 ivcuiuf ky, to the Presidential Chair, as he is the head and lead er ot that nartv. and has nledyed himself to nursue the Federal policy, and carry out to their full extent, the ru-, inous measures, and dangerous political experiments of thesame. Moreover having openly pledged himself to j tamper with the Constitution, under which we have lived so long and so prosperously, and to destroy ormutuilate that power (the Veto,) which js now and was created i tor its safeguard, we cannot keep from viewing, as must every other other true Democrat, his elevation to that seat, which he is now. and has been seeking for so manv - a years, by every means in his uower. as an era in the political history of our government, that must be regar- 1 1 I . . " ... f I f ded by every true patriot with fear and apprehension, for the consequences that must ensue. Such being our opin ions with regard to Mr. Clay's political character, we shall hoist at the head of oar columns for President and Vice President of the United States, the nominees of the Democratic National Convention, James K. Polk of Ten nessee, and George M. Dallas of Pennsylvania; and shall use every fair and honorable means to ensure their elec tion.

The Capital of the Empire State Inundated! Seventy Thousand Democrats in tbe FIELD! We shall not attempt to convey to our friends at a distance, even a faint idea of tbe stupendous monster meeting of the Democracy of Central New-York, of which this city was the theatre vf-stprrln v Nnthincr like it was ever su n in this? section, or in any part or the btate before, m point of numbers, its strength was incalculable. It was on of those gatherings which puts at de fiance the process of compulation, and compels a resort to the mode of calculation in vogue with our opponents in '40, when men were computed by the acre. There were acres of democrats in the city and on the ground and acres passing and repassing to and from the field in counter currents, as unceasing, during the afternoon of yesterday, m is thfi flow of the Hudson. To altrniDt to I , , ,.. tUa ,u A j ' . . . . I I . , fh w cm.ju..aom, .... ..... By . ... anci niffn-tonea aruor wnicn prrvaueu as wun a .contagion, this immense mass would be rqually ! j jt waS the buoyant spirit of men, w ho had reason to be proud of their Cause, and proud of! their Candidates, and more than all, firm and unshaken in the beli f that with proper tffoit, on the part of the democracy of the state and nntion. a victory as signal and decisive as that of 1K00, would give to their principles and measures the complete ascendance in the stale and nntion. It was, in a word, that feeling of confidi nee and power, which must carry 113 through the cbntrst to a result, as brilliant ns it is ut stmeu to be (iiuur ing, and benign to all the great intertsts of the country. II was a feeling and tone that no party every exhibited but on the eve of a well fought bat tle and a great victory. Some estimate cf the numbers who came in from other places may be made, when we slate that there were six steamboat loads from New York city alone another fiom Brooklyn, another from Poughkcepsie, another from Hudson, another from Newburgh, one steamboat, and two large harge-loads from Troy many boat loads via t canaJ and fiTe heavily laden trains from I he he , -,l rt.r.,rt,:.. w Mrh Wlln Q locomotive. ind loner lines of cqts besides a great many v. ry hirrre vehicles from all directions within a circu t of thirty miles, ;nor,h south, east and west. The steamboats from ' . .. , . . - ,,,, . i:,0it, ,Mmmj tl,.. r,m . . ' . I roy, with MS two barges in tow, bnstl.d on both decks with men, numbering; several thou- requiring inree powenui engtn s, m inting toe " Tenlh Legion," the Montgomery delegations, tbe second batlallion from Oneida, and many even from Cayuga and Onondaga, in all several thou sands, came in just as the end of the procession reached the field, and did not join it nor was the Newburgh delegation here in rime to add their large numbers to the long; array. By railioad, steamboat, canal nnd ordinary conveyances, the gathering embraced the bone and smew of the democracy from Washington and Warren on the north, to Suffolk on the extreme south, nnd Ca yuga at the west seventy thousand nun, in all, upon a fair calculation. Though under the conviction that no pen can begin to do justice to this impressive demonstration of ihe power, spirit and energy of the democracy of the state, we proceed to give such details as time and Space will permit THE CITY. From an early hour in the morning, our prin- cipal streets exhibited the stirring indications of what was to come. Flags and streamers were susprnded across Broadway. Market, State, Pent I. , , . . . JJZ , .' .' . ' Chapel and other streets, and from hickories plant- eu oeiore ine ranying points oi me aeu ocracy waived the stars and stripes, inscribed with the nnmes of the democratic nominees, state and na tional. Among these was the vast and beautiful flag of the New-York Empire Club; and a flag from the Knickerbocker, politely furnished by Capt. St. John. State-street, being- the place of general rendezvous preparatory to the forming of the procession, soon presented a living mass, each separate delegation in its assigned position, and recognizable by its banners, of wnicn there was an Immense number. Some of them were of ihe largest, most costly, and highly finished grade, requiring; several men to carry them, nnd richly . .mi - J emblazoned with democratic emblems and cher ished sentiments. Conspicuous among them, and legible from one end of the street to the other, were the splendid banners of the " Empire," White Eagle," and " Ironsides " Clubs of the great city and the scarcely inferior banner, in size and execution, of our own a Rough Hewers Club." The movements of this great mass, as seen from below, to the music of some of ihe best bands in New-York and Albany as they march ed and countermarched to the places assigned them, was one of the most beautiful and exciting spectacles that could well be imagined and par ticularly as exhibiting the djep and strong impulse that is stirring the hearts and animating the hopes ol the democracy. THE PROCESSION. The procession, which did not include on im mense delegation from Troy, nor the great bulk of the monster delegation fro n Oneida, Herki mer, and Montgomery, nor the Hudson delega tion, full 500 strong, nor yet one entire steamboat load from Newburg (which having grounded on the overslaugh did not arrive until 5 P. M.) was one hour and ten minutes in passing the Argus office and numbered, by count, 8,977, or nearly 9.000 persons chiefly on foot There were, moreover, a great number of vehicles of all de scriptions, heavily loaded, and drawn by from two to sixteen horses. It is conceded by our op ponents to have been a magnificent and effective array. It certainly outnumbered their own on the 27th of Aguby two to one, at least; and in the number and splendor of the banners, could scarcely have been equalled any where. Com paratively few ot tbose on the ground joined the procession, but preferred proceeding thitMlfe ear lier, and as suited their inclinations or convenience. Indeed the great mass of citizens and those from a broad occupied the sidewalks and commanding po sitions on ihe route, naturally rather intent on seeing than making part of it As it was, it was larger and more brilliant than could have been anticipa ted, and much larger than our whig friends are willing to admit or would have been glad to see. We give such details as we were able to gather. First came a fine band of Music, of which there were many. Then the Banner of the Albany Republican General Committee, representing -a female figure rising through clouds and pointing upwards. The motto : "Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, The eternal years of God are hers." Next the carriages containing the officers and speakers.

This we described partially yesterday, when empty, and we shall not attempt to picture out the scene, which it presented yesterday afternoon when it was covered with a living, animated mass of Democratic Freemen. A double line of three hundred tents stretched across the north side of the field countless banners and flags fluttered in the breeze martial music was wafted to the ear from many points, as the procession coiled itself within the enclosure- while the cannon of the Empire Club responded to those on tbe heights west of the ground. There was apparently no end to those who in procession and in irregular bodies, poured through the principal gateway at the south-western corner of the ground ; whilst through other entrances, immense vehicles, inad missible elsewhere from the height of their hick ories, found their way in. Just as the end of the procession was passing the new track of the rail road, and when doubts were expressed whether the ground could holdall down came the im- mense extra trains from the west, column rrhori column pressing upon each other, compact and dense as a body of soldiers, Is swell the great ag gregate. A great macy vehicles passed on north, without entering the field at alt, whilst a large portion of ihe New York delegations, after mak ing the circuit of the field, passed out This large area, was nevertheless all occupied- dense ly crowded around tbe stands, and more sparsely filled elsewhere. Tbe scene was beyond the pow er of language to portray.
