Discretionary Committee in the Tent
Would respectfully report that much difiiculty
was experienced in ascertaining what particu-
lar articles were to be subject to their exami-
nation, as in several cases the Special Com-
mittee on specific classes of articles referred a
part of the articles properly belonging to those
classes, to them, while in other cases, articles
not enumerated, received notice in the reports
ofthe Special Committees. . ~
In order to obviate similar difficulties in fu-
ture and facilita,te.the proper action of the
Discretionary Committee, they would suggest
that the Chairmen of the several Committees
in the Tent constitute the Discretionary Com-
mittee, which course would remove the diffi-
culties alluded to, and bring to notice many
articles overlooked under the present system.

ATLANTA, GA., Friday, Sept. 5, 1856;.’
"2b'tlié E:{i’t37-"o}‘iliE" Ddiliftlfiliilész ‘
I used to delight in being a Re-
publican. The name of “ Republican”
hasnow become odious here at the South
where I live. It is regarded here as
treason for in man to avow Republican-
ism. Not being allowed to be a Repub-
lican, I thought I would call myself a
freeman. This term is quite as treaso-
nable as the other. Nothing is friendly
to“law and order” and loyal to the South
but Slavery and JAMES BUCHANAN. As
I cannot consent to become a Slave ‘to
any man or any party I am "doomed to
silence, unless I can find 'a Northern
press that will speak for me. If the
Times is still free I shall get a hearing
through it ; not only shnll'I: be ‘heard
but three fourth of the people‘ of the South
will be h-3ard' through me as their organ.
The idea prevails in the-North that the
great uuspeaking mass of whites; inthe
Slave States are so completely under
the control of party leaders that they
dare not think for themselves at all. It
must he confessed that the almost total
silence of this portion of our people, in
regard to the political movements affect-
ing the welfare of freeman everywhere,
would seem to give color to that view
of their condition. But there never was
a greater mistake. The human heart
with its unconquerable instincts is the
same upon the Savannah and the Mis-
sissippi ao it is upon the Miami and the
Hudson. The small farmers, the me-
.chanico, the men .of progress, the free
catholic spirits of "every grade and pro-
fession are getting .to be clamorous for
‘expansion. ‘ Tbeyliave long-been-"wait-"
ing for a partisan press, bad for partisan
orator: to exhaust their store of sophis-
try and jargon. They have been hoping
that braggartism and "blaster" and bully-
ing would cease to characterize the
policy of our Southern statesmen and
Southern presses. They are becoming
impatient for the iiiauguratiou of a dif-
ferent policy—a return to soberness and
honesty and reason.
I assume to speak for the undisguised
nerve and sinew of the whole South.-
I am myself one of this class and know
what I am saying. A true word sent
out from auearnest heart is not the ex-
pression, alone, of him that utters it; it
is the voice of every heart that has not
been deadened by interest or choked by
corruption.
There is a crisis in the operation of
our Federal Governinent. I do not
mean that there is danger of disunion.
If I were a Southern editor trembling
with oolicitude for my subscription list ;
if I were a servile instrument of power,
and dreaded otarvatioii more than deg-
radation and thraldom; if I’ were an
aspirant for honors and preferred the
sacrifice of spiritual freedom to a life of
independence and obscurity, I should
adopt the blatant custom of this latitude
and trumpet the prophecy of disunion,
till the very hills should tire with the
echo. But‘ as I am a simple citizen,

quences to my own poor life or fortune,
I venture to talk of things as they are,
and as they must be, till God or his
creatures shall change. This crisis does
not threaten the Union of the States.-—
It does worse than that. It threatens
to destroy the equal participation of the
Free States in the benefits of the con-
federacy. It threatens to give the pre-
ponderance to despotism in Congress
and in the Federal Administration. It
threatens to exclude the people of the
North and the lovers of free speech--a
free piess—a free soul and free expan-
sion of human energies, everywhere,
from a home _I in our Territories. ‘It
threatens, force, to thrust into the
fertile valleys of Kansas in race of lord-
lings to exhaust the soil in breeding
cattle that contribute nothing to schools
nor society, nor an, nor science, nor
Ietters, nor to the advancement or ame-
lioration or elevation of our race. It
threatens to make fifty of these cattle
cast thirty ootes—not only in the Legis-
lature of the future State, but in the
Congress of the nation. Fifty stupid
asses, that are more property to be
whipped and spurred, are to be equal to
thirty men—whice men—men that can
read and write—men that can expound
the gospel and the laws of the land-
men that can edit newspapers and write
books—men that can fight like heroes
in'the field and die like .niartyrs in a,
noble cause--men that can strike the
lyre with Ap'ollo’s "skill and move the
world by the magic of eloquence.
. Such are some of the consequences
involved in the present issue between-
not the North and the .South—but be-
tween stagnation and progress—barba-
rism and" eivilization——Liberty and
Slavery." The catalogue of evils, not
only to the people of the Free States,
but to the people of the entire Repub-
lic, might be extended till it embraced
the fate of our common country. And
can any man of thought and observa-
tion fail to see that the unchecked march
of bogus Democracy will ultimately
subdue the free spirit of our people, and
end in lashes and gags upon the bills of
New England, as well as the valleys of-.

frightened. many of. the statesmen of the
Noi-ili.. ‘He would be the President of
a few barking Senators and a few servile

millions of the people.

I will tell you.
Are you an Abolitionist, and are you
resolved to vote for none but an Aboli-

waves of encroachment upon the rights
of the States. He will never counte-
nance any movement towards disturbing
the property of Southern Slaveholders.
He will protect them as rigidly as he
will the people of the Free States.
The Missouri Compromise—how does
he stand towards that '.' -
,.He stands just where all right. mind-

solemnly agreed that Slavery might

forever have Kansas and all above her..
Slavery took her part under the contract
and secured it. , Thirty years ‘passed:

high and competition iirlabor is great in
the older States. He cannot emigrate-

refuse to let the traitorous Republican
enter among them unless he .w'ill abjure
free schools, free speech, free social rank

decided to curtail its liberal donations
and appropriations in that direction ;
these States andtheir Lakes are too far
North—they smell too much of freedom
—they babble too much about abuses
and corruption and servility in the Gov-
erument. What a slave Senate fails to
to do to sound the measure of his suffer-
ings, a slave President will be sure to
complete by his veto—his appointments
to office and the secret workings of Ex-
ecutive machinery.
What is it that can remove and avert
these evils? Is it the election of BU-
