THE ELEcT1oN oF GEN. MOORE.

The election of General Moore in the 4th congress
sional district of Alabama by majority Of nearly
fifteen hundred over his know-nothing opponent,
Mr.. Smith, is subject of the warmest congratula-
tons with the democracy in all sections of the Union
The Alabama Beacon, published at Greensboro, the
residence of Gen. Moore, thus alludes to this bril-
liant democratic triumph
When Gen Moore was nominated many OF his own
friends thought he destined to encounter another de-
feat whilst Smiths supporters proessed to believe that
there would scarcely be any coleso easily and sig
nay would he defeat his t,ce beaten competitor Some Of
them went to declare that Smith would carry
the district by larger majority than he did two
years ago But neither their boastng and Dragging
the apprehesons of of Moore's friends, ever
caused for the first moment to entertain any serious
fears doubts to the result The victory how
ever has been signal than even had anticipated
ssAnd now word to our democratic brethren out Of
Alabama many of whom have felt the most lively inter
est in the of the democracy in this contest In
place of the very Embodiment of the worst features of a
aotasm political wcather-cock, who has belonged to
every political party which has existed in the South for
the last twenty years. and deserted eachthe one to
which he now belongs excepted-as suited his viewswe
have elected the representative in Congress Of the
fourth district Of Alabama consistent true and reae
dsmocrdtl man of handsome talents, ardeny devoted
10 the rights and interests of his scctiona high toned
chivalrous gentleman unbenshed character and who
enjoys in an eminent degree the confidence and respect
of all who know him To the democracy of the nation,
as well as to the democracy Of Alabama s Gen Moore
election a cause for heartfelt congratulations.

BLAcK-REpuBLIcANIsM IN OHIO.

The back-republicans of Ohio have renomnated
Chase for governor and body of associates Of the
same stripe for State officers.
The Cincinnati Enquirer represents the convention
"a fiat failure; there not being half the number of
delegates present that attended the first convention
which presented Chase to the people of Ohio two
years ago. The only life and spirit exhibited by it
were exerted by the presence Of the venerable old
monomaniac, Joshua r.. Giddings, who was called,
he declared to be present by special inspiration
old Boanergan style, on the equal rights of negroes
with whites, and the duty of all good men to receive
them at their resdes in their pews in their schools
and everywhere else"

THE TRIUMpHs OF KNOW .NorHINGIsM.

The know-nothings (says the Raleigh Standard)
have one member Of the House of Representatives
from the three sovereign States of Virginia North
Carolina, and South Carolina. just think of lone
member from three States and that member is Mr.
Gilmer, of the Guilford district, who recently
defeated for governor by only thirteen thousand ma
jority.
The triumphs of fknow-nothingsm are indeed strik-
ing and impressive. They have rendered themselves
object of general attention. Everybody congrat-
uates them on their success and all eyes arc turned
upon Mr.. Gmer the lone "dark-antcrn" from vir-
ginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.

THE OHIO DEFALCATIoN.

The great deficit in the Ohio treasury recently dis
covered, causing the disgraceful resignation of the
black republican treasurer of State, has created not
little sensation throughout the entire country, and
seems destined to enter largely into the ensuing po
litica contest in that State. AS was to have been
expected notwithstanding the republican party has
had exclusive control of the legislative and execu-
tive departments for the last two years. and this de-
fct has occurred during their administration des
perate effort is being made by Governor Chase and
his abolition press to throw the responsibility on the
democracy. All their ingenuity has been exertcd to
shift the odium from their shoulders. Thus at one
time they charge it all to the malfeasance of Bresn
the predecessor Of Gibson, and who was elected as
democrat; and again they seek to incupate former
democratic legislatures for not passing more srin-
gent laws for the protection of the treasury and to
prevent improper uses being made of the public
funds.
At this stage of the proceedings letter from Mr..
Atkinson, late senator in the democratic legisa-
ture has appeared in the Cincinnati Enquirer, giving
an ainside view" coupled with extracts from the
records of the Legislative action the subject when
the democratic party in power, completely turn
ing the tables the opposition and fixing on them,
beyond the possibility of escape, the responsibility
for the laxty of the laws regulating the financial CON
Germs of the State, under of which the treas
ury has been depleted of nearly million of dollars
We take pleasure in transferring this letter to our
columns. tits the pride and boast of the democratic
party that all financial questions, whether national
or State its public have been the first and fore
most in frowning down corruption, of whatever
character active in fcrreting out abuses and prompt
to correct them, providing by stringent laws for the
protection Of the treasures of the people and re-
quiring at the hands Of public agents unbending in
tegrity and strict accountability in the administra-
ton of public fiscal concerns We proud to
find that in the great State of Ohio the action of the
democracy has formed in the main, no exception to
the general rule in this respect, thus leaving the OPP
position to enjoy there, as well as elsewhere, the
bulk of the nfamy which ever should attach to those
who are faithess to the public interests and lend
their aid to the preparation of such unmitigated
wrongs. We trust that with this severe lesson be-
fore them, this dearypurchased experience, the peo
pic of Ohio will dispense with the further rule
of black republcanism which has proven itself to be
only on par with the corruptions and pecuation of
the Mattesons and Gberts of the national Congress.
The State convention which came off few days ago.
we observe, made the enactment of law for the
safekeeping and disbursement of the public funds
similar in its principles to that Of the independent
treasury of the Unonone of the planks in the dem
ocratc platform.

THE GREETING THAT NORTH CAROLINA SENDS
TO THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.


A large space in the Raleigh Standard of last
Saturdays issue is devoted to the returns of the
election held in North Carolina for members of Con-
gress the 9th instant. After giving the names OF
the members elect published in the Union few
days since,) the Standard says:
rsThe majority for Mr.. Gilmer in a district largely
K N, is not than 500 to 900 while the majori-
ties for Mcssrs Ruin, Winslow, Branch, Craige, and
Clingman each will range from 900 to 1000.
''Ashe county has not yet been heard FROM but we
may safely estimate the majority for Mr. Scales at 700
No brilliant political victory achieved than
that by the democrats of the sixth district And Is
complete, conclusive ii is brilliant majority of
366 has been turned and in addition to that the de-
mocucy have rolled up from to eight hur red for
their worthy standard bearer Well may the de mocrats
of the sixth district rejoice They have a right to be
proud of the result of their abors and of their nexibc
adherence to principle.
Ihe election of Dr. Shaw is conceded by the oppo-
ston. His majority will be about fifteen. Taking all
the circumstances into consideration this is brilliant
victory The district has been whg by decided major
y and the revolution in it has been achieved by hard
work. aided by the force of truth and principles
Mr. Smith, the competitor of DR. Shaw is the strongest
the opposition could have in the district and
every effort resorted TO to elect him One Of his lead
ing friends, Mr., Pool took the stump for him and
though his will good and he earnestly strovc to ben
eft his friend yet doubt whether he increased his vote
to any perceptbe extent Certainly he did not in Halifax
where he handsomely and gallantly met by Mr..
Ransom, of the champions Of democratic principles
owe point with pride and qualification TO the demo-
cratic representation in Congress from this State They
all able and true unconditional democrats will
give cheerful and cordial support to the administration
of Mr.. Buchanan"

of recent voyage the Atlantic by yacht of only
