Mr. Nathaniel Allen, of the town
of Edenton, and one of the Company,
being desirous to sell his Interest in
said property, has authorised the Subscriber
to dispose of the same in his Behalf, and
has put in his possession -all the necessary
documents for the information of the per
sons disposed or inclined to purchase . The
Terms of payment are, one-fourth down out
the execution of 'he Deed or Deeds of Con
veyance ; the Remainder at two annual and
qual Payments, to be secured in the mot
unexceptionable way.
The manner in which said Property has
teeamanaged.since the year 1787, when the
company was formed, makes it a mostdesir
able acquisition to gentlemen of capital, and
ty far out weighs the inconvenience attending
property held in common ; as a Superin feud

f the whole, with one or two Overseers u

Valuable Lands fir Sale.
THE S"bsP,riler offTr fori
very valuable Tract of Land, lying m
Orange and Granville Counties, bounded by
Flat River on the West, by the RiveNeuse
on the South, by Knap of Reeds Creek on
the East, and by a straight line from n e
first to the last mentioned water-coarsestdh
the North containing 1200 Acres, abn
forming almost a perfect square. Better
than one-half of the Tract consists of rich
Low Grounds, the wnole being extremely
well adapted to the culture of Wheat, Corn,
&c. and jnuchofit Tobacco. No Planta
tion in the District of HiHsborough. is better
calculafedf "raising Stock of all kindr, and
particularly Hogs, as the uncleared Low
Grounds afford a most excellent Range for
them. On it, there is m rood Brick D wel
ling-House, containing five Rooms, Kitch
en, Smoak-house, &c. all of which, at a
very trifling expence, may be put into a con
dition suitable to the accommodation of a
genteel FaVnily. There is also on it, a large
well-built Granary, lately erected, and capa
ble of holding several thousand bushels of
grain.
If the whole Tract should be thought too
large for one Purchaser, it may be divided
into two compact Plantations.
Possession rray be had this Fall, as soon
as the growing Crop is taken off, and Wheat
may be sown earlier, if desired by the Pur
chaser. Such persons as may be disposed to view
this Tract of Land, will make application
to Mr. Richard Bennehan,1 who lives near
to it, and who formerly lived on it ; and for
Termsj application may be made either to
him, or to DUN. CAMERON.

"Sir, '
The time is approaching when
a Senator to represent the State of

in tht C
the United States must be appointed
to succeed me after the 4th of March
next. Doubts may exist in the
minds of Gentlemen respecting a
further tender. of my services for the
appointment. You are authorised to
say for me, that I am not a candi
date. Claiming nothing in the course
of past services, but the merit of ha
ving done my duty, it will be with
pleasure I shall retire. When I make
this declaration, to ' say that I would
withhold my services in any event
from the State and people amongst
whom Hive, and who have hereto
fore given me so many repeated .
proofs of their attention and confi
dence, would be more than I could
justifyLto my own feelings ; and if
any contingency should arise in filling
the vacancy that will take place, in
the opinion of Gentlemen, which
