apter lie comprised III those words, In con.
gress. he has not proved himself A ttan Of

would sacrifice it rather than perform ONT

reverse Of all THE, and on the business Of pfi
,atu land claims would have been, perhaps
the beat man that could have boon sent irsn
the district. We, OF THE district, have i'm
mense interests OF this nature now pending
all of which must Ito over indefinitely. ant
some be Totally lest, for want Of a representa-
tive Ia tho lower ~1iauRe, to advocate, urge
aud protect them. It Ia difficult TO perceive
wherein a people DESTROYS of being represented
in congress should prefer Gen. Dawson t.
Mr., Elan,
But we have a word or two to say, before
closing our remarks, to cur friends Of Tho AL
dietriet. You certainly were not aware o
the inertia Of Judge Moore, and the important
services he rendered you during his short. bu
useful aud honorable career IN Congress, or
YOU would not have thus dismissed him from
your service. We have taken aolno pains t.
inform ourselves Of Judge Moere's s%tanding II
Congress, and have enquired into the mannoI
in which he discharged tho duties OF his office
Upon tho very best authority we can say, ant
without fear Of contradiction do say, that there
we're few, II any, more useful memher il
tho 9th Congress than Judge Moore an
tina, Louisiana lever had n more laboriou
and efficient representative than he was, ILL
labofad unre,nittingly, and for n constituent,
far broader than his district. While otho
members alops. or played, or whilod avn!
their time in idle conversation or wordy dc
bate, the steadily advancing hours found hin
always at the post o fduty. lie rarely ATTENDED
n party. or spent in evening in pleasing re
creation. The tolls of tho day were contin
ued by him at night, aud often has the re
marks been made by other members as the.
passed under and saw the light Of his window
when returning al two, three or four o'elocI
in the morning from a night of ~reyelry-
"Thcrc's Old Moore, digging away, a
usual ~ lie was not a slow worker, and III
amount Of labor he performed was %astonisl
ing. His correspondence alone was s%utlicier
employment for an ordinary worker, aud va
his correspondence was never allowed 10 in
~terfero with his arduous duties in the House
Immediately after the extra session of q
Judge Moore was placed at the head of on
Of the most important and laborioas commit
tees of the H~ouse-the committee on priYat
Land Claims. On this committee he serve
as chairman during two sessions and ho'
did he acquit himself in that responsible si'
tion1 According 10 the testimony of tn
members of said committee, given publicly Q
the floor of the House, In a most noble All
faithful manner" But we need not 90 beyon
the limits of his own district to find numeror
witnesses of Judge Moore's diligence and efi
, cheney as a member of Congress, and esp,
: cially as chairman Of the above named con
! mi,tee. There went up to Congress from 7
) State as many private land claims as from II
: inhabitants of Judge Moore's district alone
. and we fearlessly appeal to them to say,
they ever found him remiss or negligent
attention TO their business! We ask the
: if il Is not a fact, that a larger number OF lar
claims were favorably acted on by the Ia
congress-, than have been passed BY congre
