CANCER.

WE, the subscribers, do certify that DIR. P
wv Davidson Of Albany sued Dr. Alden
March, professor of surgery in Albany, for SLAM
der in the first degree for asserting that Doctor
P. Davidson had killed woman Doctor March
strove to prove, by number Of physicians, that
what he said was true-Doctor Davidson produ-
ced host of witnesses, and ourselves amongst
the number, and satisfied the jury and the audi
ence of the unbounded success of his practice in
curing cancers. The result ofthe trial was, doc
tor Davidson got a judgment against doctor
March, in the Supreme Court, first day of July,
1912. We give it as our candid and firm belief
that Doctor Davidson's manner of treating can
GERS is altogether superior TO the practice of doc
tors in general. We were subpoenaed to the
Supreme Court to testify to the cures he had per-
formed on us and otherS, and we do advise all
who are afflicted with cancers to call on doctor
Davidson in time and getcured
Jared Holt, breast; Joseph Whelan, David Ar
man, nose; Margaret Easterly, breast; Malina
Avery Rose, cancer in the mouth, and covered
the lower part of her face. Peter Vhroman, on
the knee and leg, very bad, and helpless for
three years regular doctors attended ne to no
effect, and wished TO take my limb off above the
knee.
Doctor Davidson was authorized by the law
of the state to practice in 1809-the act is on file
in the Secretary's office. Residence, A Ferry-st.

The TOcsin of Liberty and Rev. G. T.
TorreV

The TOcSln OF Liberty and Rev. e. Ts
Torrey.
| The 4th number of Vol End, of the above
paper, contained, as. we have previously sta
ted, vile, and uncalled for attack upon the
principles and conduct of this paper. We
reviewed the article and proved the utter want
of sincerity of the I0csirs and its party, be-
yond the power oftheir pinned
the LIBEL upon the clerical robes of C. T.
ToRREY, established our grave charges
upon the LIBERTY PARTY, of having made
g a virtual tender of their principles and IN
t1uence to the WHIGs,'' to the entire satisfac-
tion of every candid and rejecting man, be
his complexion what it may We here reit-
crate the charge, and are prepared, and will,
at no distant day, prove the facts. We now
come to the 5th number of the above paper,
though we will pass over its frivolous charges
of ''gradUaHsm and pro-slavery, as being
basely false, and beneath the dignity of our
sober criticism. AS to the 6 bad grammdr''
and 'wrath" alluded toby the Req. "g gen.
tleman," we will frankly add, that we never
made pretensions to good :" grammar We
were not born and educated at the South; the
blood, and tears, and groans, and sighs from
the rnanacled and lacerated bodies Of the poor
sldUc, were never taxed beyond the power of
of human endurance, to feed, and clothe, and
educate us in idleness, and furnish the means
to teach us good 'grGmnlar. - Can the Req.
G., 4. IOrrey say as much We pause for
reply. We would further say to- the Editor
ofthe :" I5csan Of Liberty,'' that while he was
lolling to rest, in comparative ease, In the lap
of the AlaG mater, we were teiling night and
day, to defend the rights of our oppressed
countrymen, and taking lessons during the
while from that great TEACHER, that such
men among the whites as FRANKLIN,
AMEs, and SOUTHWICK, were proud to
acknowledge as their teachers ; and among
the colored men of our country, CEsER
LINDEN, BENJAMIN BARRACKER and
PAUL CUFFEY, and we have never made al
legiance to any other master. But we thank
COP, notwithstanding our g bad grammar, -
that the &c I0csin'' complains Of, in the alb
sence of reason or argument on their part,
to rebut our wholesome truths and realities,
we are able notwithstanding to cope with any
driuelling diuine, that has lowered himself
ss downa'' from the sacred calling of the MINIS
TRY, to" become' the scribbling hack and
touch stone of a political 1unto. 30 Great
,cork to perform and cannot come do,cn;"
forsooth the editor has indeed descended al 5
ready, and has but one step lower to take,
that is, confess all his falsehoodS, as he has
one of them, and reform his errors altogether.
Whit remark, we dismiss this part of the
subject for the present, that the C STAR" not
withstandng its Sc bad grammar" will exist,
be read, and Effected upon long after the Edi-'
tor and his TOcSin shall have ceased its silly
vibrations upon the ear of time

Tile difficulty between the Post Office Depart
lilont and the Wcstcrn Railroad Corporations, oc-
cnsons excessive annoyance in the way OF getting
urncws. We get our papers from Boston twenty
four hours in advance of the mail, and the same is
true Of news from Albany. The statement Of Geo.
Bliss in the Boston Advertiser presents the facts
fairly, and citizens generally approve of his
course with one exception. We protest most
earnestly and loudly aganstany proPositonf for
carving the mail over our road on Sundays. In
deed, we think it an outrage upon Us, COM
nuntv. that we should be taxed for constructing =
railroad, that our dcpots might be kept open-our
citizens cmploycd-nnd our streets disturbed with
the hum of business on Sundays. We would sub
nit to present annoyanccs sooner than have our
cars panied, and our thoughts distracted with the
laundering trend Of s'thc Iron Horse" throug our
streets on ''tho day Of rest. We are astonishcd
at the ignorance Of our Postmaster General when he
said. .'Nat the great mail route bef7rcen albany
and Boston is By aray Of New York" lihe will
come this way we will show him that the quickest
route from ADdng TO Ne'c York IS 6y rag o.

1t may be gratifying to some of your readers to
know ,ha, we arc doing great things here. As well
as others elsewhere, in the way OF Washington
temperance. In the space of about two months
something like $500 names had been annexed TO
the Total Abstinence Pledge, in our town; over
2000 Of which were added in this our principal
village. The influence is spreading through our
whole country like fire over the prairlcs On the
:22.2d wc have a grand county celebration.
There is some talk ot little Legal Reform here
III our Bay State, which stands least fair chance
of complexion. 1t proposed TO consolidate our
Supreme Court and our Court of Common Pleas,
and the general impression is gaining ground, 'lat
BY this arrangement our business will be as well
done and far more cxpcdiriou<ly.
