LOCAL POLITICS.

Secretaries OF Democratic Clubs
Will confer q favor upon the editors OF this col
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 a 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 PendIetop Guards
In this city, have elected the Hon. Geo. Il. Penile-
ton an honorary member of their excellent and
numerous club. The following is a copy of the

At the North the people are striving to the
government from eXtravagant and unconstitutional
misrUle. In Louisiana we are struggling 20 pre-

legislative acts boldly proclaim, and by their Sc
cret teachings seek TO enforce their determination

When success will crown the efforts of Democ-
