From the above abstract /. will be seen that all the
important COmmfteef IN DOtn House,, 10 VnOm ques-
tons relating to Slavery likely to be referred
carefully made up Of picked men. While the large
pro-SaveTy majority in Congress makes it impossible
for Freedom 10 carry anything by storm, the Commit
tees are an additional safeguard against its getting
anything by surprise.
Parliamentary usage, everywhere except in Con-
gres while yielding the control of Committees to the
msjority yet is always careful TO secure the minority
place and fair hearing. But there they are put
wholly in the hands of one eide. And this unprece-
den'ed course not peculiar TO the present Congress.
II hiss been pursued aad submitted TO for long series
Of years.
This explains why is that every scheme Of Slavery
finds such ready attention and such quick passage
through the Houses. while motions, resolutions,
bills, and amendments, proposed by its oppo-
nepts suddenly and unaccoHntably fall 10 the ground,
under the operation Of some unheard Of rule" and
are not ever allowed TO reach a vote.
Nor is ii alone with reference to Slavery that such
things happen. Propositions commercial, mechanical,
agricultural political, which supposed, directly
indirectly, to benefit enterprises or individuals of
the Free States, are sumnarly overslaughed by the
same process.
The time for the Reformation Of these Congress
sonal abuses we trust, lie at hand. II they are not
reformed at the next session. il will be the fault of
the Free States themselves. And if not reformed
now when everything fsvors such action, it is hard
to say when there viii be another opportunity
