{" In most of our townships, especially the SINAI.
Ter Ones the election of township officers was not
made party question. Where the majority was
very strong, the elections generally went for the
party in the majority by default. Even where the
election was contested on party principles the
correct majorities are either not reported in the
local papers, or the votes OF former elections are
not given in many cases. but the papers barely
state that friends have carried their ticket
where our opponents were previously in the ma
iority,' or that there has been great gain to our
cause sc.
We are, therefore, only able TO ascertain, as
y vet. our gain and losses in about 40 townships
with any degree of accuracy. This number i'll
cludes Cincinnati, Dayton, Chilicothe, Circlevie,
Cleayeland, Canton, Wooster Newark, and Della
ware. GAINESVILLE went by default) In these 90
townships our gain is about $500, our losses lin
one or two townships only 2
sUnless some unforeseen event occurs TO change
the current of popular feeling, feel confident of
majority of twenty Thousand for Harrison and
Tyler in The State and should not be surprised il
it reached thirty thousand. The majority at the
October general election cannot be expected to be
so large"

Portage County. This county was dismember-
ed last winter in the erection OF Summit. IL was
the intention of the Legislature to make two loco
foco counties, by cutting off the Wing vote from
Portage, and counterbalance it in Summit by ut
tachng two strong Van Buren, townships from
Stark. The way it operates on Summit county is
known the highest Wing majority being seuen
hundred and eleren! Our friends now think of
carrying Stark-and judging from the result of
the township elections in Portuge the tria of
the movement there is likely to meet with poor
success. In Ravenns the average Wing majority
is 80 in '3S Shannon's majority was 50.
Cuyahoga County. The results in this county
far exceed our expectations. The Harrison boys
have carried majority of the Trustees in every
township hut one-showing in the aggregate ma
iortes popular vote of over $50 for Harrison
and Reform The Office holders had promised
Conquest OF Old Cuyahoga, by attaching por-
ton of the Wing strength TO Lake county. Their
disappointments are severe, and do not come sin
gle.
Trumbull County. We have only heard from
four townships in this county gam about lOO.
All right in Trumbull.
, HIGHLAND County. This county has been the
theatre of Mr. Haners anxious labors. We have
only from Hilsborough; Wing gain about 20

was said to have produced n wonderful effsctl--
from the above result we think so.
Fairfield County Liberty township, which last
fall gave the Van Buren, ticket majority of l40,

In Hooking township, (Lancaser) the Wing tick

ises that this shall be swelled to $50 in Octo-
Der. Amanda, late the brag ground of I.ocoioco-
ism, has elected The Wing ticket by majority Of
% Rushcreek and Walnut, duo, ditto. Fair
field has been one Of the strong holds of the par
~ in the State.
Hamilton County In Mill Creek and Columbia,
there has been handsome accessions 10 the Wing
strength. IN Delhi and Storrs no opposition. In
Miami North Bend,) the only Van Buren, candi-
date in nomination, came 10 The polls at noon, and
declined
Coshocton County. An election of Juiiice of
the Peace in Roscoe Jackson township, n Wing
gain is shown of 70. Linton township, hereto
fore one of the strongest holds of the enemy, has
elected good aud true Harrsonans.
Columbiana County In Centre township New
Lisbon) the Wing ticket prevailed by 80 majority
larger than il has been for some years past, by
90 or 80 votes. No other town heard from.
Carroll County. If township elections (says
the Free Press Of the I0lh) may be considered the
indications of public sentiment there can he no
doubt that the people Of Carroll county ARE iiar
sonian TO the core The friends Of Harrison and
Tyler carried the whole ora majority of the town

nj least nine OF fourteen townships in this county
