that the Vermont Congregational ministers are in
favor of both polygamy and slavery? We don't
see what else we can make of it. Vermont must
be cursed with pious doughfacos as well as States

CONDITION OF Mr.. SuMNER.-On Wednesday we
had the pleasure of meeting an old friend who
has been for several years an intimate personal
friend of Mr.. Sumner, with whom he passed two
days during the last week at Cape May. lie states
that Mr.. Sumner, though better in some respects,
is still suffe1ing from extreme weakness,
pre;luding at present either physical or ment-
al exertion. II the opinion of his consulting
physician his constitution, though of great natural
vigor, Isl of the class which recover slowly from the
effect of severe sickness or physical injury. In
the judgement Of our friend there was little or no
reason for apprehending any serious permanent
injury to Mr.. Sumner in case he was removed from
all cause Of excitement, but his recovery must be
II work of time.
Mr.. Sumner, while at Cape May, was in tae fam
lily of Mr.. Furness of Philadelphia, from whom he
received every possible attention. lie has since
left for the Alleghanies for the benefit of the noun
tain air. In the opinion of his physician his es-
cape with his life was almost a miracle. He him
self remarked, with great emphasis, that uEder
God he owed his life to DR.. Perry and a good con-
stitution.- Dedham Gazette, august 2.

they so anxiously sought, but the contempt of all
honorable men, In one township half a dozen oc
them drew their pistols on an unarmed woman, who
refused to allow them to search her house for the
runaways.-IHS. Disprtch, dug 0.

AcADEMIcAL HONOR BESTOWED UPON SENATOR
SUMNER.-The corporation of Yale College have
given a very appropriate testimonial not only of
their respect for the scholarship of Senator Sumner
of Massachusetts, but of their approval of the
position he has taken on the great question before
the country. They have conferred upon him the
honorary decree of Doctor of Laws.
Old Yale is known to be. yeryichary of her honors.
The honors which she has conferred in this case,
however, will be repaid to her tenfold in the credit
which she will gain in the intelligent public
sentiment of the country. She has thus defined
her position in a manner not to be mistaken, on
the subject of slavery and has administered a time
ly rebuke to those who are plotting to extend this
institution over the territories.
The announcement, by President Woolsey, Of
the honor conferred upon Senator Sumner ELECTED
a hearty round of applause from the audisnce,
The degree of Doctor of Laws was also confer
red upon Hon. William Hungerford, of Hartford,
Connecticut.
Francis 2. BLAIR, Jr., the Representative elect
from the city of St. Louis, is a we'll posted and
strong man, and as brave as the bravest. 1t will
be remembered that at the Pittsburgh Convention,
Mr.. Blair was appointed upon the Republican
National Committee, and that he addressed a letter

anti-slavery as to astonish every one with its
bravery, living as the young gentleman does, in a
Slave State. His nomination by the Benton Dem
ocrats, was thought to be a very handsome act on
the part of those men, but nobody dared hope for
his election. But there is more freedom in St.
Louis than people knew of. The lords Of the lash
are no longer omnipotent there. The business men
of that growing city are aware of the importance
of maintaining the freedom of their great river,
and of Choking the Rufianism of their upper
