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 1t impossible for a local force, however
large, to attend every meeting. We wish to make
this column 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.
Politics and the Soldiers.
We cheerfully publish the letter below written
by Sergeant Stafford, of the sixth cavalry, but
would at the same time state that our reporter
was present at the meeting referred to, and saw
man wearing the uniform and ehevrons Of cavalry
sergeant rise and give expression to some polit
cal opinions" Being not aware of any other
cavalry command stationed at this post, the
reporters very justi6able inference was that the
sergeant belonged to the sixth cavalry:
"NEw ORLEANS, La, Oct. s, ls6s.
"To the Editor Of the n o. Crescent:
"Sir-In report Of the proceedings at meet
ing of the ExUnion Soldiers and Sailors Demo
cratic Club, which appeared in your issue of yes
teTday, 4th inst, mention is made that o sergeant
of Company G, sixth cavalry, was present, and
that he gave expression TO some political opin-
ions. The statement is incorrect, and would
respectfully inform you, on the part of the non-
commissioned officers of Company G, sixth cav.
airy. that. being Union soldiers, they have no
opinions, either conceived or expressed, about
the present state of politics.
