The true Democrat., 1856-05-27
 The ODDOSitiOn losing Ground

In spite of the incessant dingdong, clang, noise and confusion of the anti ebraskals. the recent elections show clear as noondav that sham republication Is falling back. Besides the redemption of Maine last fall, the spring elections in the three States of New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut exhibit. upon very heavy vote for governor, A DEMOCRA- TIC GAIN OF OVER TWENTY THOU SAND. Michigan, too, has just given sure sign ot her determination-to throw off the fusion yoke, and resume her uprightness in Novem- Der. Every intelligent politician, whatever may be his wishes, must see that democracy is gathering strength in the free States which will render 1t irresistible in the presidential con. test.
 We continue to receive glorious reports from the municipal elections in Ohio Almost every important city and town heard from in that immense commonwealth has gone democratic some of them overwhelmingly so. and some, says the Columbus Statesman of the 10th, that scarcely ever before gave democratic maiorities and nearly all were .fusion one year ago. The Cleveland Plain Dealer thus records the triumph there:-
 The Nebraska democracy of this city put in nomination straight out Nebraska ticket avowed and known as such The opposition rallied under the same anti ebraska banner as last year, and attempted to gull the people and achieve a victory under the guise of [" peo. ple's ticket" All the opposition papers were down on the democratic nominees. The resul. Is, that we have elected the entire city aenaocra ttc ticket by an average majority of four hundred uotes, This is presidential year, and this is it's glorious beginning. There is not a ward in the city we cannot carry at the next election by the proper exertion. The city is rousingly democra. tic, and so will be the whole country in Noyem- Der next!'
 We never saw 80 many democratic victories in Ohio at the spring elections before. Cincin- natl, Toledo, SanduSky, Circleville Lancaster, Medina, Seville, Dover, Hamilton, Aberdeen. are a few of the places that have pronounced against fusionism
 In Indiana, too, the recent township elections show as far as heard from the heaviest kind of majoritics for the old line democracy In h. dlanapolis the capital where the black repub- hcan Know Nothing fusion ticket had three hundred majority last year, the democrats have now about the same majority, a net gain of 600. The Sentinel of the Sth says:
 The election yesterday, for township officers passed off quietly. Both parties had full tick cts, nominated by theiy respective conventions in the field, and the Know Nothngs and black republicans rallied every voter to the polls It was of no avail, however, for the people of the centre township long ago determined to repudate the midnight order and the abolition agltators. Anti-Nebraska appeals-Maine law appeals-secret leagues of frecdom-and fana- ticism in every shape, were brought into reoui. sition; but it all would not win. Indiana is sound to the core on the Nebraska bill-the ca- pital city has spoken--and three fourths of the towns and counties in the State will respond, Amenl"
 In Madison the democrats elected their mayor by 842 to 529 for all sorts of opposi. ton.
 Turning to Iowa. we find that the people of Dubuque could not be deceived by the secret tactics of the opposition. but defeatd them worse than they would have been beaten had they come out manfully. In Davenport Gill bert L. k. Mitchell, democrat, was elected by l5o majority, and seven out of the eight alder. men elected are democrats also. The victory IS complete, and the Know Nothing Maine law republicans are routed in every department Bost. Post
