Secretaries OF Democratic clubs
VIII confer q favor upon the editors OF TINS col
umn by sending TO the CRESCENT office after each
meeting OF the several clubs which they represent
synopsis Of the proceedings. we are com
ptlled To ask this from them, as the rapidly In
creasing number of Democratic clubs In the city
render 1t 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, viii certainly do so. But such assistance
necessary. We trust that the Democrats of the
city will give it.

going. These sffairs are, we learn, to be contin-
