LOCAL POLITICS. -
Secretaries OF Democratie Clubs
viii confer Q favor upon the editors Of this col.
umn by sending to the CRESCENT ofioe 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 a local force, however
large, to attend every meeting. We wish to make
this column Q 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 IL.
A German Democratic Demonstration.
Tonight our German population, tired Of Radi
cal misrepresentation that they are Ia the nam
Republicans, have determined TO make such de-
mon -tration will at once and conclusively pub.
lish to the world the fact that, TO man, they are
united in opposing the wies whereby our present
rulers would take away from every citizen his in-
aensble rights. They are to turn out in grand
procession. All the German clubs in town will
participate, and the members of other Democratic
clubs who are of German birth or German de-
scent are expected to take part. The affair will
be very handsome, and we earnestly hope that all
our German citizens will avail themselves Of this
opportunity of displaying their love for thstfree-
dom which they had hoped to obtain in our fair
land but of which they are now deprived. Let
the rally be great one.
