MEMPHIS APPEAL
TUESDAY, JANUARY 81, 1852
LAYING IN WAIT FOR HIM.

Since the delivery OF his maiden speech
w. r. Moore, our sweet-sceuted mem
Der of Congress, has endured world
Of bufeting and contumely. Every
body has kicked him in imagination,
and wrung his large ears in savage joy. The
mere mention of his name excites in the
human breast sentiments of fury and burn
ing desire to fall upon and destroy him. He
furnishes a bad case OF great expectations
sadly disappointed. 1t will be seen from our
Washington letter that the pestiferous gang
of correspondents that infest that wicked
city are laying in wait Tor the temperance
of Moore in grand debate, and they will not
have long to wait, for brazen impudence,
such as Moore and Guiteau possess, is imper-
vious to either ridicule, contempt, or scorn,
and coon our member OF Congress will
prance ont, and, like old Father Grimes,
with his coat call buttoned down before, will
make things hum again. Then the fun will
commence 10 good earnest. The correspond
ents will hurl at him a whole brick house,
one brick at time. They will all
impale him on the point OF their pencils
one will stew him, and another will fry him,
and all will unite in making hash OF him.
But the APPEAL suggests that w. r. Moore, in
his next speech, dive so deep into meta
physics that he mystify and silence the
correspondents laying in wait for him.
Daniel O'Conner silenced virsgo that was
abusing him by calling her a "hexahedron
Parallelopopindeu," and we suggest that
W. r. Moore throw the pesky correspond
ents into confused pile of rupturous amaze
ments, such as prevailed at Babel, in the land
OF Shinar, by delivering a speech something
ike the following: "Now, Mr.. Speaker, in
the name of the civilization OF the nineteenth
century, my point is this, to-wit, namely:
That in the scale of moral balances there
are articles which are-nsy, must-by Law
be computed, and if not 50 computabIe obtain
in ethics no standard of weight, meas
these articles is the article now
in evidence, to-wit: the bogus GER
ti6oate OF Bun Chalmers, which, in the
res digesto OF the case, as my friend General
Bragg, of Wisconsin, has authorities to bear
me out, expand, enlarge, rotundify, and, if
you please, sweH in the human gas
tronomy when associated with fluids sufficient
10 Lner purposes, and lhat, SO innatlng, they !
produce effect upon the perfunctory parts of
our imperfect nature similia simiii5us, as the |
ancients bad it, to-wit: collie. Now, Mr.. |
Speaker, to-wit: In the distribution of world
ly equities l am working on the plane of
July, honor and justice, to-wit: in those por-
tons of structural man termed the inferior
or abdominal, and they are, or ought to be,
or might have been, or thitherward, inHu-
entail throughout the arcana of society, being
pis inertia, coevaI, coagulate, coordinate and
co-extensive, that Chalmers therein bulldozed
the "Shoestring" district, and is here paral-
ielogram.7 Its only by such trategie move
ment as his that Moore can silence the cor.
respondents who are watching him like SO
many detectives watching the burglar. Con-
fuse them, w. r. Moore, confuse 'em.
