PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
THURSDAY, APRIL Q, 1912.


This subject begins to be agitated in our
sister states. The republican members of
the Virginia Legislature have nominated
their electors, all of whom will support the
reelection of JAMES MADISON as Chief
Magistrate of the United States. The
members of the Legislature Of Pennsyya-
MIA have also had meeting on the same sub
ject-and il is stated were unanimously in
favor of Mr. Madison.
That Mr.. Madison will have the general
support OF the republican electors at the en-
suing election, there Cannot be much doubt
And why sh ,uld he not be reelected -
Certainly he has sustained his exalted sta
ton with reputation TO himself, and profit
to his country. He remains the same in
flexible patriot and able statesman as at his
last election. And we feel ourselves iusti-
fed in saying that he retains the confidence,
and will command the suffrage, Of the re-
publican party-the opposition of a fe7u dis
contented ambitious editors to the contrary
Notwithstanding. W
We perceive strong prediction in some
OF the New York editors 20 bring forward
MIR. Dewitt Clinton for the Office of Presi-
dent instead OF Madison. According TO our
views OF the subject this augurs nothing in
favor of the harmony that always should ex-
ist in the republican par y--and if persisted
in, mayseriously affect the future standing
ottheir favor.c candidate. This is not the
time to make change. If Mr.. Madison has
not Forfeited the confidence reposcd in him
by his republican brethren (Which we con-
ceive he has not) lct hhh serve another
Presidential tern, when no doubt he will.
IKE his lilustrious predecessor, retire and
then, 1t the northern or middle states can
produce candidate rs worthy our conf.
lence as any that Virginia may propose
we shall be ready to give him our decided
support

Cure for the Cancer.-The following re-
ceipt for the cure of Cancer, is recommend
ed upon very respectable authority as an ca
sy, sure & simple remedy /; it is copied from
the Belfast News letter. Boil the West Tur-
key Fig; in new milk, which will thicken by
being boiled in it. Apply them broken or
whole to the affected part, and the part must
be washed every time the poult;ce is changed
with some milk. Remember always to use
fresh poultice night & morning, and at least
once more in the day and drink about
quarter of pint of the milk that the figs
are boiled in, twice in the % hours if the So
mach will bear it. This course must be
steadily observed for three or four months
at least. The cure of an old man who died
at the age of one hundred and five, was eff
fected with about lbs. of figs only. The
Cancer which began at a Corner of his mouth
had eat through his jaw, check, and half
way down his throat; yet was so perfectly
cured as never to shew any tendency to re-
turn.-But ON any such appearance the figs
should be applied. The frst application
will be attended with good deal of pain ::
but afterwards the patient will find case and
relief from every dressing. A woman red
by this remedy had been afflicted with the
Cancer for above ten years-and her breast
bled excessively. Twelve pounds of figs Gu
red her.
On Monday, the 16th.March, George Bord,
Tavernkeeper, on the Turnpike Road, between
Columbia and York, about three miles from
York, hung himself in the carriage-house. No
reasonable cause has been assigned for this act.
He possessed one of the best Farms in Penn
syivanis, and lived in concord with his family
He was friendly in all cases where his interest
was not concerned, and was very honest. But
he was a miser. Upwards of THIRTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS in SILVER, and more than
an HUNDRED POUNDS WEIGHT of GOLD
were found in his Cellar.

A letter from the Hon. E6en'r Saver,
member of Congre IS, 70 the Editors of the
Boston Patriot, dated Washington, March
Essays,
Lest any individual should doubt the va
lidity of the letters and documents, accom-
panying the message, permit me to state
what took place before the committee of
Foreign Relations, to whom they were COM
mitted. Immediately on the adjournment
of the House, the Committee directed their
Chairman to request the attendance of Mr..
MONROE, the Secretary of State, to meet
with them i'll the evening, at7 o'clock, which
he did, and he exhibited to the Committee
the original papers, copies of which had
been communicated with the Message.--
These papers being examined, Mr.. Monroe
was asked, if he knew the hand writing of
Lord Livcrpool-and he did not hesitate to
say, that the letters, from lord Liverpool to
SIR Geo. Provost, 7vere signed by him he
further stated, that Mr.. Pinkney, our late
Minister at London, was we'll acquainted
with the hand writing of lord Liverpool, and
Robert Peel, and with the hand writing of
the clerks, employed in those Offices, and
that he declared them TO be authentic docu-
mcnts. And further, one gentleman of the
committee is well acquainted with the hand
writing of j. Fl. Craig late Governor of Can
ada, and els fully convinced that the in
structions No. 2, and the commission No. 5,
numbered in the DOCUMENTS were signed by
him.
There was stipulation on the part of CO.
vernmcnt, that the names of persons con-
cerned with Henry, in America, should not
be insisted on; this was a condition on
which he consented to give up the papers.
He expressly said he never would, under
any circumstances, betray the confidence
they had placed in him-and that he should
not have betrayed the confidence of the
British Government, if they had not been
perhdious to him.
Yours, &c.

TIE CLEANER

On Saturday evening last three seamien made
their escape from an board the British ketch
Cleaner lying off this harbor Before they
reached the shore they were observed by some
on board, and several cannon and a number of
small arms were fired but without effect. or
even lettering them from their object. They
were however quickly pursued BY three or four
officers and number of men armed with musk
cts, &c. and notwithstanding they had been in
formed by a justice of the peace that there was
no authority By which the desertcrs could be
apprclIcnded or delivered up, or that would
justify wanton an insult to the dignity of an
Independent nation, Chcy determined to compel
the return of the desertcrS { ii found by force
of arms. They had not proceeded far before

teen citizens who, Eunder the impression of the
deserters being impressed Americans had

were met on their return after fruit,ess search
