LOCAL POLITICS.

Secretaries OF Democratic Clubs
Will confer favor upon the editors of this coli
umn by sending to the CRESCENT Office after each
meeting Of the several clubs which they represent,
q synopsis of the proceedings. We are COM
PEELED to ask this from them, as the rapidly in.
creasing number of Democratic clubs in the city
render it impossible for local force, however
large, to attend every meeting. We wish to make
this column a complete compendium of local
political intelligence, and, with the aid of our
friends will certainly do SO. But such assistance
is necessary. We trust that the Democrats of the
city will give it.
The Crescent City Club
Will TO- night meet at their wigwam, corner of
Prytania and jackson streets, where they will be
addressed by several prominent speakers. On
this occasion the Crescents cordially invite their
lady friends to be present, and We heartily in
ladies should not participate in the pleasure which
their gentlemen friends derive from political
speeches, and we hope this invitation will be gen.
orally responded to-
