The elections thus far of 1856 have ter
minated most auspiciously for the Demo
craic party. Every S,a:c, county, or mu-
nicipal election which has been held has
shown either large Democratic gain or IL
full, complete, and overwhelming Demo
cratic triumph. According To dispa oh
from New Haven. received Yesterday, the
vote for Governor in Connec lieut. is as fol-
lows:
InSham (Dcmocrat) ,............-.... 32,32J

Wells BLACK Republican, ..-.... 6,olo

The Democratic candidate, it will thus
be seen, lacks few hundred votes of a
majority orer all his comprehensive COM
bined vote Of Minor, Wells and Rockwell
only amounting to 80, 972. The Democrat
ic gains in Connecticut, New Hampshire
and Rhode Island will exceed twenty thous-
and votes!
But it is not alone in New England that
our gains and triumphs have been confined.
The result Of the recent county elections in
Tennessee, it will be recollected, far exceed
ed the most sanguine expectations of our
friends The recent elections in Kentucky
indicate a great reaction in favor of the
Democratic party. The local elections in
Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Missouri have proved to be equally encour
aging. In Ohio, where heavy fusion
majority still remains to be overcome, the
Democracy do not appear to be at all dis
couraged and, as an evidence of the spirit
which now ac,ua.es the Democratic jour
nalists of that State, we make room for the
following article from the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, announcing the result of the munlc-
ipal election held in that city on the pre-
ceediug day:
Now, in the name of the American en-
gle and Ned Bun,line, where are those
Americans that were to rule America in
the city of Cleveland one year ago? In the
nsme Of George Hampden and Horace
Greedy. where are those 'shrieks for lIber-
ty. that have been ringing in our ears call
ing on the worshippers of ebony to rouse!
and put down the border ruffians' inhabi;-
ing these liber:y loving precincts! Where
is Jim MeIill and his 'Leavcrworih baby?
