Trust Sale of Land and Negroes.
By virtue of a deed of trust executed to us by
the late Clack Robinson, for purposes therein
spcified, dated the 8th day of March, 1843, and duly re
corded in the Register's Oflice of Warren County, we
will sell to the highest bider, on Friday the first day of
November next, at the plantation known as the Jones
plantation, all the Lands of the said Robinson lying on
the north side of Roanoke river, and about seventeen
likely Negroes. There is about two thousands two
hundred acres of Land, a good protion of which is superi
or river bottom ; the upland is of good quliry and well
timbered. This Land was purchased, by the said Ro
binson, of the late Francis Jones and others, and may be
conveniently divided into two or more tracts to suit pur
chasers. The healthy region in which this Land lies,
the fertility of the soil and its location, being in the im
mediate vicinitv of the Raleieh and Gaston rail road and
only about fifteen miles above Gaston, combines advan-
w . . t fPi a
tages rarely ottered in any couniry. i nose wisning to
purchase are requested to view th premises, which will
be shown bv Messrs. William or Allen Robinson, both
of whom live upon the premises, or by either of the sub-

IQ HIV1IV j . " J "

PROSPECTUS FOR

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. Tr iln thia wp parnpsllv anlioit at thn liorwla f io

and yet in the District where the Democrats have a n.a

not a single one with the exception of one small sheet.
Taking these things into consideration, we humbly
submit, whether justice to themselves, the cause and
Erinciples they profess, and a regard for the credit of the
district to which they belong, does not demand at their
hands some local vehicle of information on political sub
jects. Terms $2 per annum payable in advance, or $2 50
will be charged if payment be delayed six months. Per
sons forwarding six subscribers, with the subscription
money, will receive a copy gratis.
It is designed to issue the first number early in the

of the Raleigh Register.) Persons wishing to subscribe
will please forward their names immediately.

The Grreat Meeting
of the Campaign !
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

! 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

from Cayuga and Onondaga, in all several thou

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

These descriptions are necessarily imperfect,
but may serve to give some idea of the variety.
though they cannot indicate the splendor, and per
tinency of the great mass of them. Nor do they
include a great many devices, such as the coons
caged, caught, or otherwise captured or the
" Roorbacks," of which there were some, that
excited great merriment. We pass on to
THE FIELD.
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.
The call to order from the main staging, was
tbe signal for the commencement of the speaking
al the several stands about tbe field arid5 tbe muP 1
titude separated into some seven or eight cojppa
bodies any one of them large enough to pot to
th,k tb strongest lungs. From these several
points, and fiom, wagons throughout the ground,
some of the abe?t champions oT tbe democracy
addressed attentive and earnest Bsleneri and the
shout that went upjjtime.to time, all over tbe
ground, told witrMKffect, truth and for:e the
good oltf cause was vindicated, and the war car
ried into the camp of theenem. .What waasnid
and how it was said, at some of ; -'
