EVENING STAR.
WASHINGTON:
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY i, 1853.

Reception OF The President Elect.
We learn from our exchanges that in his
well written reply to the authorities of Bos-
ton, General Pierce deliberately declines
the public honors proffered him on his way
to Washington. His recent affection is
sufficient excuse.
But his letter has interest in it for the
public, which is worthy of being noted He
certainly does not mean to give any encour-
agement to the enemies of the Union, how.
ever tolerant he may be of diverse opinions
In regard to the honors rendered to him, he
says:
"1t is gratifying to me to feel that they
spring from nobler motive THAN personal
Claims and that you proposed to receive
NE as the representative of principle
which is uppermost in our hearts. The ba-
sis of that principle is the sacredness of the
Union."
There is certainly much propriety in with
holding all unnecessary public parade at the
present time. The silent tear, the warm
grasp of the friendly hand, will speak more
eloquently of the real feelings of the nation,
than the thoughtless shout or the wild
huzza.
1t is gratifying to notice the course pur-
sued in this vicinity by the members of the
party to which General PIERCE chiefly owes
his election. They have wisely abstained
from the customary festivities, while uniting
to render becoming honors to the new Chief
Magistrate of the nation.
The following notice, which appears in
the Union this morning, has been handed
US for publication:
.'Presidentiat Reception and Inauguration.
"The democrats of the cities of Washing
ton and Georgetown, and of the District of
e lumbia generally, and such democrats of
the States as may be here at this time, are
Invited to meet at the hall over tie store of
Messrs. George and Thomas Parker, on
Pennsylvania avenue, ON Tuesday, the 1st
OF February, at I o'clock.
"The object of the call is to make suit
allie arrangements fer the reception of the
President elect, in cooperation with the
city authorities, who have already taken
steps to meet the occasion.
Arrangements will also be adopted for
participating in the Inauguration of the
President, on the 4th of March, in co-opera-
tom with the national authorities"
The meeting, it will be perceived, takes
pace this evening. Our democratic friends
will doubtless attend in good numbers, and
nc once take the steps becoming the occa-
sion. 1t is a fitting time to soften the as
perities of party-the hour of domestic
affection with the most distinguished citizen
OF the Republic-and We trust all classes OF
our people will unite to do themselves honor
i.y honoring the President elect.

Many years of trial, instead of impair

has won for it an appreciation and notori-
ETY. by far exceeding the most sanguine en-
pectations of its friends. Nothing but it's
| intrinsic virtues and the unmistakable
benefit conferred on thousands of suffer
ers, could originate and maintain the rep>
utation it enjoys. While many inferior
remedies thrust upon the community, have
failed and been discarded, this has gained
friends by every trial, conferred benefits
| on the afflicted they can never forget, and
produced cures too numerous and too re-
markable TO be forgotten. ...
While it is fraud on the public TO pre-

the CHERRY PICTORIAL does not only as
general thing, but almost invariably, cure
the maladies for which it is employed.
As time makes these facts wider and bet

Physicians can employ for the more dan

milder cases, and for children it is safe,
pleasant, and effectual to cure. In fact,
some Of the most hattering testimonials
we receive have been from parents who
have found il efficacious in cases particu-
