TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS,
"Ihe People are Coming"

Nay, they are HERE! In all the
townships of Ross county in which
the elections on Monday last were
tests of party strength, great, s. we
may truly say from their Importance
unexpected accessions are mani
fest to the cause of the People,
There is magic, or rather, rea-
lily in the popularity of Harrison &
Tyler, which bears down all serious
opposition i'll this quarter; and judg-
ing from late results, and the indo-
mitable patriotic spirit of our true
h earted Democratic Harrisonians.
Old Ross will come out at the con-
test in October, with shouts of vic
tory to the tune of 1000 majority
over the sub-treasury candidates-.
the advocates of a strong Execu-
tive, low prices, low wages, and a
standing army oftwo hundred thou
sand.

MORE BIG GUNS

The Harrison victories crowd
upon us SO rapidly, that we hardly
know where to begin the record d
them. We have this morning the
most gratifying intelligence from all
points, which we stop the press to
announce to our readers.
PIKE COUNTY.-From Waverly
we learn the log cabiners have flax
ed out the Vans to the tune of I67
to Is.
InPiketon, heretofore Admins
tration, the federal Van Buren,
party polled only fifty votes.
FAIRF1LD.-Mase soay for the
Germans! The Democratic Har-
rison ticket, in Baltimore Fairfield
county, was carried through tri-
umphantly. Last year the Vanites
were in the majority.
From Bloomington, Pickaway
county, we learn that the Republi-
cans polled 10 votes to the Mon
10.

1eTA report prevailed at New York, that
orders had been received from Washington,
to prepare forsea all the vessels Of war under
cover az Brooklyn. Whether the rumor be
true or not, we.think such measure of pre-
caution would be wise on the part of the gov
eminent. ''In peace prepare for war, is q
sound political maxim, and that it had been
better observed by Us, the boundary question
might have been ended before this. In eve-
ry controversy, il is q great advantage for
either party 20 itself into an armed and
formidable attitude. There is not so much.
rislthen Of being bulIied by an overbearing
and adversary. Until the United States shows
a resolution to vindicate her rights, Great
Britain will never believe US to be il earnest
about the boundary question. Ihe best plan

In 1898, the last time the siren.
9Th of parties in Newark was tried,
the LocOfocos had a majority of 48.
When it is considered that more
votes have beeu polled at this than
any other election, and that the con-
test was made upon party
grounds, this is a triumph worth re-
cording. Our average majority for
trustees is now 2I3.
