In closing his Message, Gov; Packer
arrays hiMself by',thc side ofJudge Doug

demns the theory- that it is the, 'duty of
Congress to protect Slavery in the Tern:
tories, and denies that any construction
favoring Ouch theory can fairlvlDe given
to the Dred Scutt decision. He also con
demns the theory . that this country must
eventually become all Free or all Slave
and plants himself broadly upon, the doc
trine of Popular' Sovereignty, *hich he
calls the ;"life blood of our free institu
tions and the , palladium of our safety."
Applying this to the question; of State
Rights, he deprecates the overshadowing
iufluence, of the Federal GOvernment, and
recommends watchfulness.

'ter As announced as our intention in
our last issue, we took a brief but pleas- i
ant journey to " the land of our Fathers," I
—having returned to our post a week-az,
Tuesday, after an absence of tea days.
We annex a condensed sketch of our trip.
We left Coudersport,, by private con
veyance, (the horse and buggy of our ac
commodating young friend, H. W. Rath
bone, the Oyster Saloon ke4er par excel
lance of this village,) at noon'of Dee. 26th,
and, with no very marked :incidents by
the way, arrived at the Olean House, Olean,
at 8 o'clock P. M., and . consigned •our
welfare for the night to the care of the
well-known and gentlemanly . clerk, CHAR
LEY COPELAND, and his estimable wife.
Charley is famous as a first rate. hotel
clerk all along the Western Division of
the N. Y. S. E. It. it., and his treatment
of ourself and companion, (most of thu
time unconscious of the 'distinguished
guest he was .entertaining,) induces us th
say that his fame is well deserved. Mi.
Humphrey, the proprietor, was abseiit,
and we did not see him; but Charley, be
ing anxious to get better.aequainted with
the people of this county,' banded us the
card of the house for publication in the
JouttNAL, where it will be found as a new
advertisement. •
We left Olean at 6 A.' M., Mond . ay
morning, on the Emigrant Train, the. only
one going %vest that day,, and arrived at
Dunkirk (a distance of 65 Wiles!) at
40 A, M. At Dunkirk we, took the Mail
Train of the Buffalo and Erie It. It. at 2'
o'clock P.M:, and reached Erie (45 mileS,)
at 4 o'clock.' Left Erie by stage—an ez.-
cruciatingly miserable two-horse
at 5 o'clock, and reached the hol3pitable
hotel of our-old friend, Jon M. ALLE:sr,
in Waterford, (15 Miles,) at . -8 o'clook.
John's corporeal limits are extendirig; rap

ourselves under the care ,of our old friend
JEssc BOP end: lady, !wild keep-a real
traveller's. !resting and feasting plead in
the metropolis of ...Old Crawford." ..
Wednesday, morning, visited some
_of
our friendS, and- made the . acquaintance
of BURCEIpELD,, the editor, and BROOKS,
the foreman, of the Free -Press, (a new
and spicy little 'paper) both !of whom we
found to be i gentlentanly and clever fellows,
and "printers at home." At 10 (Mick
A. M.,
.we left. Meadville for Tituiville,
the home of ourparents,, where we arrived
just in time for tea. The object of 'our
trip being! to via-it our home; we. of course
mailed ourself of every means of making
our brief Stay of fog; days there (the in-
eidents Of which would be . uninteresting
to our readers) .pleasant-to our - friends:lnd
ourself—and' we were not disappointed.
We found and left them enjoying, gener
ally, pod! health and goad living—all that
could be expected these hard - times.
On our return, we left Titusville at 6
A. M., gonclay morning •in private con
veyance, !reached Erie at 5 P. M., (45W
went to bed till 12 ; took the Ex
press Train et 10 o'clock A. M. Tuesday,
reached Wellsville, N. Y.; at 9 A: M.
sane day; took breakfast at Van Buren's,
made the acquaintance
. of SBAUT, of the
Budget--(which first-rate little paper, by
the way, has just. donned a new, beauti
fully designed . and engraved " head"
which cost s4o,)—and left in the stage,
on excellent sleighing, for Coudersport at
10 o'clock A. M., where we arrived, safer
than sound, on Tuesday evening at 4/
o'clock. This was the first time we Iliad
been wore than 10 miles distant' from our
office since the, 14th ! of AuguSt, 1856.
Few editors can exhibit so brief a diary
!of travel in so long a period of time.
We could, with equal truth, say that few
er editors receive so little pecuniary en
couragement to stay so elosely at home as-I
we do. Is it any wonder then that we
should desire - to let uur readers and breth
ren of the press know :hat we have been
out seeing things ? Nay, verily.
The health of Mr. Sumner.
Letter from Ids PleOician in Paris.
(Correspondence s : f the Y. Bee. Post.]
WASIIIGTON, December 14.—Letters
have been 'received in Anis city from lion.
Charles Sumner and his physicians, by
his colleague, Senator \Vtlsou. Annexed
is the letter from Dr. Heywood, orßos
-ton, who has been residing in Paris dur
ing Mr. Sumner's sojourn there. Mr
Sumner states that he shalt yield to•the
requirements of his physicians and re
main iu Europe. for the present. Here is
Dr. Hey Wood's letter :
P.xnis, November 19, 185?
HoN.Nal.• ArmsoN—Sir: As the colleague
of the Hum Charles Sumner, I thought you
would be glad to learn the result of the medi
cal consultation held to-day in his case. There
were present Profes , mr Traussau, one of the
most eminent practitioners in Europe. Dr.
Brown-Seguard, the attending physician, and
myself. Carefully inquiring into the history
of the case, and a minute examination of his
present condition, satisfied ns that he is still .
sutforing from the injuries he*.reccived more
than two yvts and a half ago; but it is our
unanimous Opinion, c :pressed with great con
tide,wc, that ..urely recover, but hot{•
soon it is impossible to tell.
It wns :Ono considered inadvisable for him
to return to public duties during the pres
ent virter ; awl :al of us unite in urging his
euntin:Linee in Europe fur the present, as very
iniOrtant, if not. essential, t 5 the completion
of his cure.
Having seen Mr. Sumner on his arrival" in
Paris, 1 :ul/ happy to assure you that he has
improved very much sine? then ; that some of
the alarrhing symptoms that existed at that
time _have aiready if not q•tite -disappeared,
and thatall of them have been essentially mod
ified, r'retnaia, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant, . HEYWOOD.
If the Lroming G4tre; will-copy the
above letter, its readers. Will be able to
determine whether its sneers at Mr. Sum
ner's injuries Were justifiable or not..
TUE - HOUSE COMMITTEES, as now ap
pointed, set t'orth Cul. Orr's sectional un
fairness in a very'striliitig light. He has
given the chairmanship dfuurtern im
portant committees to southern members,
and but-four to the Mirth; and on every
committee which -has any decided influ
ence ou'legislation, has placed five
southern to four northern members.—
Though the free states have more than
three-fifths of tlie House, he has appoint
ed southern men to fill all the vacancies
caused' by death or retirement.—:lT Y.
Eve: Post. -
- This is an additional evidence of the
truth of Senator Seward's assertion; that
freedom and Slavery will be perpetually
at war until 'ono or the other' shall be
everywhere in the ascendent.

MR. EDITOR—In your last' issue,
noticed the call for , the "A4r,ricultur,al
Ball," the . proceeds of which were to be

aural 'Society." Upon inquiry, Ifound
that very few had been consulted, and.
still : fewer, Were to receive pecuni.

wore honorable means . But if those &itilli 4UllEtllsElittlits
philanthropic gentlemen:, otßoudersPort, .
with their meritorious heels:, (less in the
head, and, still less it the heart,) persist
in their charitabfe puryOses, perhaps they
can assist some Other society where.their
g ifts will ' be betw.appreeiated. I, would
suggest the cornniencement of a Liinatie
Asylum for Coudersport: ',_. B.
The above is dated the'2sth ult:, but
we :give it a place at this .late day. 7 We
cannot see what harm there is in a danc
ing man contributing to the fund of the
Agricultural Society in the way that best
suits 'him, The managers not ex
pect church .members t., contribute!.eith
ea.theit money or their presence on this
occasion--and no doubt used :they term
"Agricultural Ball" more as-an experi
went now, than with the hope of adding
any very. .considerable sum to the fund
of the Society. The amount of the prof
it to the Society. we learn, was $2.75
the amount received over and above the
expenscswhich was paid to the Treas
urer of the Society on the morning after
the ball. The result was not very en
couraging either to the 'Alanagers : or the
Society, and we are iocliued to think
that will not soon again have occa
sion to deprecate au "Agricultural Ball"
in Coudersport.
While on this subject, we will say
(though without any, desire to prOvoke
newspaper dismission of its merits;) that
we are not of those who regard dancing
as an unpardonable sin—and we earnest
ly believe that if a vote of the Agricul
tural Society—numbering the most re
spectable citizens of the county—was tak- .
en to-day, a large majority would sustain
dancing, properly, conducted, as an inno
cent amusement. We du not claim, how
ever, that we cannot be mistaken in this
view
