A QUARREL AMONG THE NATIONAL DE
NOCRACY.

Two Conventions were held in II. Louis On the 9Th
81 Janpary--one BY the National Democracy and the
other BY the Free Democracy. The latter was largely
attended and full Of enthusiasm, while the former was
shm in numbers and cowardy i'll its uteranccs. There

No arsion was made to any ofthe geatquestonsoi the
day except that of Kansas and that was touched so
mildly and indirectly, and evaSVcly as to show mar
the overbcaring, tyrannical and multiplying spirit when
