From the st. Louis. News, 9th.
The Two Democracies in Council.
The two Democracies of this .city-the
Free Democracy, and the National Democ-
racy, met, according to announcement, last
night, to do honor TO the GLORIOUS Eighth"
The Free Democracy assembled at the Ro-
tunda, and the Nationals at the Missouri
Engine House. There was considerable
drumming, fling, speaking and resolving
done, and we presume the shade of "Old
Hickory" was delighted with the honors
paid to his memory.
The meeting Of the Nationals was "large
and enthusiastic" is, comparatively.
All the fice-seekers and office-holders were
in dutiiul attendance, but the masses were
not. The twenty-five gentlemen who ex-
pected to have been appointed notaries, un-
der that famous Notary Bill which did not
succeed in getting through the Legislature
last winter, were there. They were not quite
as cheerful as they would have been had
they succeeded in monopoizing all the mo-
tarlal business of the city; but they had on
their best looks, and acquitted themselves
"as we'll as could be expected" Judge
Krum was made Chairman, and Judge
Bowln and Daniel Donovan made speeches.
Nine gentlemen then withdrew TO draft
resolutions, expressive of the sense of
the meeting" This thinned the crowd
considerably. After awhile, however, the
Committee re-appeared with list Of res
olu,ions, which were adopted.
These resolutions congratulate the De
mocracy of Missouri on the late triumph
in this State-reaffirm the principles OF the
Cincinnati Platform-eXpress" "undiminish'
ed confidence inlthe wisdom, integrity and
patriotism of james Buchanan" endorse
the Presidents recommendation of a Bank.
rupt Law-"reaffirm our adherence to the
principles contained in the Kansas Nebras
ka Act"-approve the policy recommended
by the President for the admission of Kan
sas, &c., &c., SC. The resolution about
the Presidents Kansas policy ELECTED {
good deal of opposition, which shows thai
} there was not as much sweet harmony anc
subordination in the party as could be de-
sired.
Mr.. Mcbride offered supplementary
resolution, endorsing the position Of Sena
tor Douglas; but the Chairman squelched /
by deciding that it was out Of order. Blu
the crowd showed evident symptoms of re
gard for the "Lttle Giant" and woult
have passed Mr.. McBride's resolution ovel
the head Of the Chairman, had not som'
i shrewd gentleman, to prevent such a ca
tastrophe, moved an adjournment. TIL,
, crowd appeared to be rather woltish at no
being allowed to endorse the Little Giant.
The gathering of the Free Democracy a
the Rotunda was much larger and more en-
. thusiastic than the Missouri Engine Hous
affair. W. V. N. Bay was made Chairman
and speeches were made by Col. John d
: Stephenson and B. Gratz Brown. TIL,
resolutions passed compliment the "citizel
soldiers" who fought with Jackson at New
Orleans compliment "Old Bullion" as tn
"right arm" of "Old HickOry"-denounc
D the Administration Of James Buchanan 10

principles which illustrated the days of JET
d ferson and Jack SOM condemn the system
of espionage which the President has intro
duced- -denounce the selection of the Ar
kansas route for the California mail--ap
