THE PEOPLE
NEW YORK.
IMMENSE GATHERING ON THE ANDRE
GROUND.


bic, The sun smiled in h, aI,by autumn atmosphere,
and all nature seemed TO cooperate harmonlousIy
with the gadsome scene, Few occasions like the
present had been afford TO witness the gathering OF
warmly excited people, upon the spot where one
Of the most important evants in our rational emanc-
patton took place; which at the same time fixed an
ndelbe and illustrious impress upon the patriotic
fidelity of the humber CLASSES Of the PEG lie Of
this country; and which had been hallowed with the
most magnificent results and sanctions. The admir-
ration of the world has long rested upon the patriot
i,n and faiihiulness displayed in The capture of An
DIRE tie British spy, and in this country all HI arts
bound with JOY at the mere mention Of the circum-
stance, because all know that, under Pfovidence
upon it measurably attended the achievement Of the
lilo. rites of this happy and prosperous people
With feelngs OF this nature, the preparations for
the Mass Meeting begun early on that morning
in all parts of the county, and well indeed did the
Demo cracy answer the expectations Of their COM
mittees
And now to give faint outline of the gathering
The democracy of Greenburgh, in the van, came by
hundreds IN artificial hickory grove, formed by
a frame or ladder of large hickores, attached with
rugs and studded from the butt 10 the ends with
hickory saplings, set into the beams Of the frame
aordng shelter and support to the crowds OF demo-
crats IN that REGION on their way 10 the meeting and
the whole drawn by some dozen yoke Of oxen, and
bearing a splendid National Flag, with the names Of
the Denioc attic candidates floating in the breeze
At Porch,ster, the democracy arranged them
selves in masses and came forward in their strength
with banners, notices, &C., and IN their way JON
ed the Democracy of Harrison, Whieplans, Sears
dale, and formed most imposing procession OF car
rlges. The democracy Of New Rochelle, Pelham,

the rs that also brought the del, cations from
New York. The democra, of Poundrldge, Bed
ford Northcastle, Newcastle, &c, came IN grand
processi by the Bedfold road with banners, &c
l he democracy OF Somers, Yorktown, and part Of
Newcastle, sc joined with the procession at Sing
Sing, which together formed splendid procession,
with two bands of music, and many banners and de-
vices Of patriotic character. AT The latter place,
beautiful barge had been mounted upon wheels by
the democratic mechanics OF the Middle Dock, and
contain the Sing Sing band, headed the process
sion drawn by six horses. Besides these magnit-
cent proce-sions hundreds and thousands we may
say came to the place of meeting ia their own con-
yeyances; while The democracy Of Cortandt and
Hayerstraw, came down the river in the beautiful
little steamer Daniel Drew, and many others from
RocklaDd the ferry and other boa,s,-aDd from
New York, by the Columbus and the Sampson, came
hosts Of the democracy from the Metropolis, includ-
ing the speakers ands of music, singers, and several
OF their elegant banners.
As practicable, after the gathering OF these
warmhearted democrats drawn to one spot by COM
mon sympathy and sentiment, to honor event and
the actors in il, which contributed largely TO the es
Enlistment Of our national independence, process
sion formed, and ma ched TO the dock TO escort
the visters from the city, and other counties, &C.,
and afterwards marched through the principal streets
and entered IN due form upon The grounds OF Mrs
BeekmaD, contiguous To the copse wood where
Andre, the British spy was captured in 17oO. Up.
