 Moore was on the Circuit bench in 1857. when. June l. the State ,Conven- ton of the Democratic party met at Montgomery to nominate a candidate for Governor. There he won noble victory. Six eminent names were put in nomina- ton before the convention. The contest was on the nomination, for at that early time the Democrats controlled with cer- tainty the polls. On the first ballot Cir cult Judge John Edmund Moore of Lau- derdale led, A. B. Moore came second, then John Cochran of Eufaula. William F. Sanford of Macon, Felix G. Norman of Colbert. finally, the mighty man of the people, David Hubbard of Law renee.
 "Jonce" Hooper said the next day in his Whig paper The Montgomery Daily Mail: "fhe Democrats have done well. The Whigs will not oppose their nominee. They have given us a man who Is a friend to Montgomery, a man of good, sound sense, pleasant manners and good heart"
 Associated with the personal history of this honorable victory, stands an import ant political incident. In January, 1856, Governor Winston led a movement to as- semble the people regardless of past parsy sympathies by their representatives in convention at the Capitol. The object was

Peace Congress, to meet in Washington City in February. The Governor replied it was without his province to appoint: that the proposed Congress promised nothing.
 The Governor found several hundred old cannon at Fort Morgan. At Mount Vernon he found 16OO00 pounds of powder. 2.0OO "Mississippi" rifles and 20,OOO old Tsuskets.
 Governor Moore was succeeded in Au- gust, tS6I, by Judge John Gill Shorter Of Eufaula. Moore remained for quite a while in the Executive oflces, after Gov ernor Shorter took charge, giving the new officer the benefit of his experience in the exacting duties of his place.
 The executive abilities of Governor Moore were of great value to the troops in the camps preparing for war and of great value to the people in their homes in the discipline he enforced among civil officers. Prejudice against the third term was so deep rooted that no one ever thought of rc-electing him in the war time. His life of availability to great public good was thus cut short.

timony of the ability, patriotism and hdel-
 ity of Andrew B. Moore, Governor of the
 State of Alabama" who had promoted and advanced by his bold and daring ac- l arms" of the United States, the inter-
 ests of Alabama.
 In June, 1865, Governor Moore was liv- inG quietly on his plantation in the Ca-
 haba Valley Perry County. and was | there arrested by United States soldiers
 and under guard taken to Fort Pulaski for Imprisonment pending trial by the Federal courts for crime, in the same dis 1 charge of official duty for which the joint
 resolution had immortalized his name in the archives of the State.
 Let us in Alabama take this bull by the horns.
 Admitting, for sake of argument, that Governor Moore seized the forts and ar
 senal, ten days before the Ordinance of
 Secession, and thus became amenable to
 the charge of precipitate disrespect of the
 authority of the United States.
 He was, even with this admission, no more nor jess than the fifteenth
 Governor in order of action who
 had demonstrated a like disrespect to the authority of the United States in the progress of the same events. The other fourteen recalcitrants were Gov ernors respectively of the fourteen States, east of the Rockies, who had cast their votes in November, 1860, for Mir. Lin coin.

John Brown came along, travelling by wagon for Kansas. He seized the arms, as many as his wagons could carry. and went on his way. The Governor made no effort to capture him. When Brown reach- ed Kansas a United States marshal at- l tackled his camp to rescue the arms and capture him He used the weapons suc- cessfuIIy and beat off the marshal.

GOVERNOR
 " ANDREW BARRY MOORE

The ordinary student of the science of politics cannot fail to give high rank in the evolutions of organic law to the three Constitutions of the State of Alabama ordained within ths generation of men now living. The history of local society in that period Is the Just interpreter of the triumph of these three Constitutions, respectively, over the combination of re- pressing and compelling forces from with out. In no example were the builders free to erect fabric of fundamental law upon natural conditions within the sphere of the domain of the structure.
 Having thus established its true claims to eminence In the high art of free gov- ernment. no humiliation of patriotism could be more poignant to this genera ton than well grounded apprehension that postsrity may forget the record and forfeit the spirit of it's day.
 It is our duty to apply known princi- ples as well as to search for new princi- ples. Looking back over the life of the State, since 1885, 1t becomes manifest that we do not go far enough back to obtain the facts upon which public opinion in Alabama has reached phenomenal unity of purpose and expression.
 Within fifty years our tax rate has doubled and our taxable assets lost half. In the earlier time railroad building was an enthusiasm of the people; now the peo- pie build no railroads. Then every dollar of stock of the roads built and under con- tract was owned here; now no railroad stock Is owned here. The banks that were owned here then supported an export commerce from Mobile of $45, ,000,0o0 a year, domestic industry, rapidly increasing: now those decisive items of prosperity in a people, interest. commissions and profits in trade are not known in the life of Mo bile or any other entrepot of our com merce because the banks that were are not. That which is grown out of Biruiing- ham and all the name stands for. was conceived, ready for parturition from the mind of the generation that built the things that were and had prepared for all that is or will be.
 The history of Alabama must be de- tended on its own principles or. in ignobie neglect. be abandoned to the lust of its traducers. "s---
