what chance slavery would have wituout
any of these aids, it would not be difficult to
foretell. If the twenty millions of active,
intelligent and energetic freemen cannot
outstrip the half million of idle and ener
vated slave holders in the possession of the
Territories, it would be passing strange in
deed The Chicago platform says Con
gress shall legislate to keep slavery out of
the territories ' when necessary.' Is it
1 necessary' in the case of New Mexico,
&c., to legislate? Ido not believe it, nor
do I believe a single Republican in Con
gress does. Under a pro-slavery govern
ment and pro slavery Federal office h#ld
ers of every shade, with all their influ
ence, but twelve slaves have been introdu
ced there in the past eight years. Is it
possible that under directly opposite influ
ences the institution is likely to increase,
or even live?
Rut I have already said more than I in
tended, and I shall stop with the single re
mark that I prefer peace and the preserva
tion of the Union to war and dissolution,
when it can be had on honorable terms, and
without the sacrifice of any valuable prin
ciple. Relieving that neither dishonor nor
a sacrifice of principle was involved in the
terms proposed, and that the interests ot
freedom and progress, the happiness and
prosperity of my country are all on the
side of peace, I therefore thought it my du
ty to agree to the settlement.
Whether I did right or not my constit
uents must decide, lours, &c.,

A Talk with our Subscribers.
This is the only month in the year in ;
which we favor our subscribers and patrons j
generally with a dun, making shift the rest
of the year as best we can. For some
years our receipts at this season have fal
len oft with rather an increase in business,
a fact for which we can account in no other
way than that many suppose as we succeed- :
ed in paying off our indebtedness on the !
property occupied as a dwelling and office |
we no longer need money 1 In order to j
do away with this impression, we beg leave
to state that being iwiablc to build a new
office, w have purchased the house adjoin- i
ing our dwelling for a printing office ( into !
which we removed during the past week,)
and have gone into debt Jor it —so
that those who owe us, either for subscrip- j
tion, advertising or job work, can lay aside
the notion imbedded in their noddles THAT
, . I
WK HO NOT NEKII MONEY, and give us a
call at their earliest convenience.
There are some who have been owing
us too long, but as we have made ample al
lowance lor hard times and other excuses,
these need not be surprised if they do not
receive the Gazette after April court.

The Philadelphia Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, in session at
Philadelphia, adopted a report in favor of
the repeal of the new chapter in the
Church discipline on the subject of slavery.
They also concurred in the resolutions of
the East Baltimore Conference on the sub
ject, and recommend the General Confer
ence to empower each Annual Conference
within whose bounds slavery exists to make
their own regulations on the subject. An
address was also adopted to the Metho
dists of Delaware, and the Eastern Shore
of Maryland and Virginia, assuring them
of the profound sympathy of the Confer
ence in the present disquietude and agita
tion. The action of the Conference on the
subject was altogether conservative.

The Connecticut State election took place
on Monday. The Republican candidate
for Governor was 1\ . Buckingham, and his
competitor James C. Loomis, upon whom
the whole of the opposition were united.
The Republican State ticket was elected
by an increased majority, and the same
party have carried the First and I bird
Congressional districts, but lost the Sec

fully heard from.
A fatal affray took place "during a parade
at London l'ri icre, in Frincess Anne coun
ty, Virginia. oa Saiurday, between James
M. Lairu and William Crimstead. The
latter run his bayonet through Laird, kil

farmers and men of families. Such things
are becoming common in the South, and
are a certain prelude to anarchy.
The Postmaster at Chicago has been
summarily removed by the President on ac
count of the discovery of a deficiency in
his payments. The office has been placed
in charge of a special agent.
A rencontre occurred at Richmond on
Saturday, between Mr. Ballard, of the
Legislature, and Hugh L. Gallagher, con
tractor at the Kip Haps. A pistol was tired
but neither party was injured. Nest day
Mr Gallagher accidently shot himself and
is not expected to live.
The Virginia Senate has concurred in
the resolutions directing the State authori
ties to take possession of and purchase the
guns cast at the liellcna foundry for the
Federal Government. Nine Senators pro
tested again i the resolutions, but the Sen
ate refused to i t the protest be entered on
the journal. The Richmond Whig pub
lishes a letter from Mr. Cameron, Secreta
ry of War, stating that no order had been
issued by the Government for the transfer
of the guns to Fortress Monroe.
It is asserted that eight hundred men
on board the 1 . S. vessels off Pesacola,
are detailed to reinforce Fort Pickens on a
signal from Lieutenant Slenimer. The
Administration, it i- asserted, is determin

its poscsssion.
A de-patch from Montgomery reports an
active movement of troops in the Confed
erated States. Two thousand troops are
expected to concentrate at Montgomery
this week, and exertions were making to
complete the railroad communication with
Pensacola. There is nothing later than
Saturday from Charleston On that day
the members of the Convention visited the
fortifications in the harbor, when there was
a general firing of the big guns. There
were no new developments in relation to
the evacuation of Fort Sumter
The Quaker City, arrived at New Vork j
from Havana, brings intelligence that San |
Domingo (that portion of the Island of j
Ilayti occupied by the Dominican Repub- '
lie), has been annexed to Spain. Spain, j
who has long been desirous of obtaining \
possession, it appears prepared the way by !
a system of emigration, and at the proper :
time these emigrants have raised the Span- j
ish flag and invoked the protection of Spain.
Three frigates with a force of soldiers on
board, immediately left Havana for the Is
land to consummate the annexation. It is j
believed that the annexation of the remain- j
dor of the Island, occupied by the Repub
lic of Ilayti, would soon follow with the
consent of France. A naval and military
force of ten thousand men are said to be
on their way from Spain to Cuba. Among
the passengers from Havana by the Quaker
City are Fx-President Miramon, of Mexi
co, and his family.
The Pari- correspondent of the New
York Timr . nnounces that France and
England are fitiin_ .-.i powerful fleet of
war steamers for the t nit d States coast.
The suggest'on came front England. —
France furnishes thrc< tiist class frigates,
and the English contingent will perhaps
be larger. The fleet will sail with sealed
orders. Spain is also preparing to send a
formidable force to the Gulf of Mexico.—
The announcement may perhaps be in ad
vance of the fact, but such a measure upon
the part of France and England, in the
i face of the unsettled and threatening con
| dition of affairs here, is too probable not to
gain general credence. A year ago such a
demonstration by any foreign power, or
; even the seizure of San Domingo by Spain,
I as announced above, would have aroused a
! storm of suspicion <tid of patriotic excite
| ment throughout the T"i..jn. Now we will
have to accept it as part of the humiliation
which is to be endured as the penai. of
1 our national disruption.

A CANCKR CASK. —In common with
hundreds of citizens of this county, wc
can testify our knowledge of Mr. Dun
mire's case, having seeu him repeatedly
while afflicted to such an extent that we
had little expectation of meeting him
again alive and in apparent good health.
He was formerly Commissioner of this
county, has always sustained the character
of a christian and highrainded gentleman,
and his statement therefore may be implic
itly relied upon. Although in the nature
of an advertisement, we publish the state
ment at a moderate charge, because of in
terest to many afflicted persons :
For five years I have been afflicted with
cancer on my lip, and also on the cheek be
low the eye. For two years 1 paid but little
attention to it, from the fact that I did not
know what it was. I consulted some physi
cians, who told me they the ught it was not
cancer, and that if it was not troublesome, I
should not touch it, but let it alone. Meet
ing with a doctor of a neighboring county,
who was cuueidored by many to be able to
cure cancer, I requested him to examine my
lip. He pronounced it cancer. I ask-M him
if he could cure it. He said he thought he
could. I went immediately and stayed with
him about two weeks, during which time he
applied his medicine every day, and removed
a lump or tumor, and sent me home as cured,
except healing it up, requesting me to c me
back if it did not heal in two or three weeks,
which it did not. During this tin e five or
i six of our physicians examined ray lip and
; the side of my cheek, which was now becom
ing sore. Two of them contended that it was
I not cancer, but urged me to go to Philadel
: phia immediately. Having promised to go
back to the doctor who had been treating it,
I felt it my duty to do so. On examination
he found that there was still disease remain
ing. He gave me his application home with
me, requesting me to apply it regularly,
which I did for about two months, without
any change for the better. I then took let
; ters of introduction from our physicians at
1 home to some of the most eminent physicians
in Philadelphia, with instructions to have it
examined with the microscope to know if it
wis . sneer or not, and then to go to the em
inent Professor for advice, and whatever he
bought would be best to be done, I should
submit to, which I intended to do. I bad it
examined with the microscope and it was pro
nouneed career. I then wont for advice and
was informed thai the disease had gone be
yond the reach of the knife, from the fact
"that the glands of my neck were affected, r.nd
therefore to cut would only add to my suffer
ing. All that could be di.no for me was a
course of constitutional treatment, and then
I no promise of anything certain. I then went
to see two other eminent surgeons, one of
them being from home. The other pronoun
j ced it cancer and thought it yet curable with
the knife, seeming anxious to cut. My cheek
below the eye being sore, the centre and side
of the lower lip being an open sore, and the
glands being enlarged, I inquired of him how
much he would have to cut away iu order to
effect a cure. lie answered me by saying he
! would uot hurt me—he would give me a lit
tle ether. This answer did not satisfy my
mind, and I asked him how large a piece he
would have to eut away, lie then answered
me by saying "I'll cut all the disease away."
Wishing to be true to my instructions I went
back to him by whose advice I was to be gov
erned. God bless him—he was so candid. I
told him what had been said about cutting it
away. lie looked at me a moment and then
j said, "My dear friend, I have no doubt that
he and others who are expert with the knife
would he willing to eut; but I tell you bon
! estly as a friend the knife can never effect a
cure in your case." All that could be done
was a course of treatment as he first named.
! Having been informed that a course of con
stitutional treatment could not possibly cure
cancer, ail it could d > would be to retard its
; progress, and that would surely last while be
ing treated, so I returned home. After my
return the doctor that had been treating me
first came to see me and gave me his opinion
that he could still cure me if I would come
houio with him. I did so, and was with him
about five months, during which time he re
moved that part of the disease on my cheek
! below the eye. It healed up. lie also in
I formed me that the disease was removed from
i the lip All that was to do was to heal it up.
j But I could not get it healed.
After some time I went to Baltimore.—
Meeting with but little encouragement, I re
-1 turned without having anything done. Our
most eminent physicians told me they thought
I never could be cured if even I could gettbe
tumor removed from the lip. It would then
i break out on my neck or in the mouth, which
would add to my suffering, I then concluded
to do nothing more, and submit patiently t >
whatever was before me. Receiving intelli
gence by some friends that there was a per
| son in the State of Ohio who could cure al
| most any case of cancer, and being strongly
! urged by my friends to go, I went, and en
j dared a course of treatment, without deriv
\ ing any benefit whatever, and came home
without any hope of ever being cured. Be
coming quite feeble, some times my lip would
bleed quite freely, discharge more or less all
the time, with an odor si offensive that I or
the family could scarcely endure it. 1 tried
as patiently as I could to übmit to Ilim who
will not suffer a sparrow to fall without his
1 notice. For more than a year I made no
| further effort to get it cured. Tho tumor
grew out and rolled down towards my chin,
and became quite a burden to me. No one
; that saw me affected thought that it was pos
| sible for me to be cured. In December, 1859,
! Mr. Dull of MeVeytown, requested me to go
! and see Mr. Dill, near Kittuiiing, Armstrong
| connty. who was said to have a cure for can*
! cer, also handing me a letter from his 60ti,
A. J. Dull, giving information of some most
remarkable cures ho had performed. The
son and Mr. Dull himself urged me very
j strongly to go and see him. Notwithstand-
I ing all the efforts that 1 had made to get eur
; ed had failed, 1 informed him that J had quit
| a year ago duinji anything further, as I had
! been informed by the most eminent physic
ians that I never could be cured, lie te
quested rnc to write to him and tell him ail
; that I had done and what the doctors said
about it. I did so. Keeeiyed his answer im-
mediately saying, from what I said about my
case it was exceedingly bad, but he believed
he had cured as bad cases, if not worse.—
But he could not give an opinion unless he
could see me. Mr. Dull still urging me to go, I
concluded to do so. But I must confess that it
was more to satisfy him and a few of my
friends that I went, than expecting a cure,
for my hopes of a cure had fled. When
Mr. Dill examined my case, he told me it was
a bad one, and if I did not get it stopped soon,
I could not expect to live long. But there
was hope yet. By God's blessing the means
he believed I might be cured. I took his ap
plication and to the astonishment of myseif
and all that knew me, I have been cured.—
My lip is gone, but entirely healed. There
has not been any appearance up to this time
of the disease returning. My general health
has become quite good. My advice would be
to all that are afflicted with the terrible dis
ease, to apply immediately to Mr. Dill, for
his remedy is the most sure and certain that
can be had. Any number of witnesses can
be procured to prove that Mr. Dili has cured
a great many cases of cancer, and some that
had been very stuborn. I have seen five per
sons that were cured by him. Mr. Dill is a
quiet, unassuming christian gentleman, and
so moderate in charges that none need dis
pair on account of it being out of their reach.
If there are any that have doubts regarding
my statement, I will refer them to Mr. C.
Dull of MoYeytown, who is well known
throughout the State, having been Canal Com
missioner. Gen. John Ross of the same
place, who also >s well acquainted with my
case. He traveled with me some time while
going to and from some of the places named,
and filso furnished me with material aid.—
Col. Pemplon of Kittanning and Mr. Bavard
near that place, are two gentlemen who were
cured by Mr. Dill. The latter, Mr. Bavard's
case, was a remarkable one. Persons will do
well to inquire of him to know what Mr.
Dill's medicine will do. Those wishing to
write to Mr. Richard Dill, will please direct
to Davis's post office, Armstrong county, Pa.
