THE DAILY UNION


We have watched exchanges from Alabama OF late
with than usual interest for the that have
understood that the know-nothings make large calcutta
tons upon their strength in that State The impression
le on mind is that there is much reason 70 fear
that the democracy have relied with much confidence
Ion their overwhelming numbers in Alabama Our apprs
hension is that the foe has taken advantage Of this
oyercoufdenceof democracy In its strength and has in
simulated his midnight organization into ranks 10 such
extent 70 endanger the result. Our democratic
friends should lose sight Of the that the enemy
they have encounter his schemes in the
dark and burrows under the earth, whilst honest men
suspeeting harm They should be taught by
the glorious example Of Virginia that the only
mode Of warning with such foe Is to drag him out
from his caverns and expose him 10 the light
Of bold and unsparing discussion We are grathed
TO see in latest exchanges from Alabama that
our democratic friends waking up to the import
of the pending contest They have yet full time to
render the result as triumphant for democracy as it has
been but insure such result there must be more
of energy, enthusiasm and Of action than have
been manifested for months past We look for good
results from the nomination Of Judge Shorrdge
ddate for governor by the knownohing council II was
until the know nothngs made their nominations in
virginia that the democracy were aroused 10 hat enhu-
siastic effort which crowned them with victory Judge
Shorrdge has heretofore been democrat and the very
fact that the knownothings who made up mainly OF
wings should select such their candidate is well
calculated open the eyes of such democrats have been
seduced into the order and to enlist the zeal and activity
of those who have heretofore felt the necessity of put
ting their armor for a vigorous contest
We glad to that in the Tuscaloosa district the
democrats have nominated Gen. Sydenham Moore for
Congress. Speaking of Gen. Moore the Tuscaloosa OBJ
server says
is known that Gen. Moore will accept the
nation. We trust however, that he will respond arma
lively to this marked appreciation OF his moral AMI intellect
ual WORTH Under the lead of standard bearer chiya al
and heightened and well fitted combat ad expose
the odious and proscrptive tenets of know
sanguine Of May he give heed to this call Of
party tho involved in the approach
ing demand that champion should be whose
true democracy is unquestioned."
The Greensboro Beacon announces the acceptance of
Gen. Moore in the following complimentary terms;
Though decidedly to engaging at this time in a
political know that he is and though he dis
ncy informed the delegates from this county that he did
not wish his name brought before the convention as it would
be in his power to become candidate yet yw Of the
circumstances under which the nomination made the
urgent solicitations Of friends and the fact that tho election
is at hand that other nomination could be
made in time for the nominee to anything like the
entire district, he has concluded accept the Our
limits will not allow say this week, except that
tho nomna of the best that could have teeh made
and will be- have doubt entirely acceptable every
county in the district"
