Patriotic Platform.

The New York Tribune is greatly in
censed, because the following paragraph
appears in the address of the Democratic
members of the New York Legislature:
In the midst of the surrounding gloom, with
desperate struggle forced upon us, the duty
ly discerned. 1t is to furnish to those in au-
thority all constitutional means for the success
full conduct of the war till the armed force of the
rebellion-the object and aims Of which we
heartily condemns broken, and to struggle per-
sistently against dismemberment of the Union.
We must cling to the Union and stand by the
constitution, and uphold the cause of law and
order. We must save our own noble State
from anarchy while we maintain with con-
stancy and patience its inalienable rights of
sovereignty and independence. While the
elective franchise is left free and the courts of
justice are maintained in their functions, we
must trust to them for the vindica.ion of po-
litical and personal rights. We must support
the administration in all constitutional meas
ures to suppress rebellion; we must even up
hold it in its functions, lest, in its mbecity of
judgment and lack of moral courage, it sink
out of existence before the appointed day of its
expiration; lest we should realize by its death,
as we have by SO many acts of its life, the fear
full calamity of the Reorganization OF the very
form and function and framework OF our Fed
eral system. If we do this, if we are firm and
constant, patient and reliant upon the provi-
dence of God to override the follies OF men,
we shall yet save the Republic.
The abolitionists are enraged because
they cannot force the Democracy into
false position. Such utterances as the
above are so true, constitutional and pat
riotic-so indicative of the success of the
party from whom they proceed, that the
defendants of the Administration every
where. fly into rage, and practically ask,
"Why will you be patriotic ?-why don't
you aid US by destroying yourselves?"

LIEUTENANT Moreau Forrest, United

timore, presented with most beautiful
and elegantly finished sword and navy re-
volver by the Hon. Thomas Swan, in be-
half of larger number of the citizens of

HoWard's Corps.

The telegraphic dispatches state that
the 18th corps, the one the New York
Times correspondent designated as the
" cowardly Dutchmen, " redeemed itself in
the battle of Monday and Tuesday. The
account of it's fight, it will be noticed,
represents that it was set upon by at least
1000 rebels, probably to or three in NUM-
hers to its own.

Return or Capt. Nrnthews.

Capt. @. H. MATHEWS, Of the s0th
Ohio, has resigned his commission and
returned to New Philadelphia. he en-.
listed in the fall of 1861, and has never
been of duty. He was with the regi-
ment every day from the time it left our
county to the day Of bis resignation, and
passed u1scathed through the battles Of
Iuka and CoFinth. After Major Lam.
MING was killed, Capt. MATHEWS was
acting Major Of the regiment, and in
December last was commissioned by
Gov. ToD as Major. But having devo-
ted neor year and a half in the service
of the Union, he now retires to attend
to his family and private business. As
our army correspondent, and as a good
and faithful soldier, the people will long
remember him. ...
We have received, from the officers,
the following resolutions passed by them:

At q supper given by the officers in
honor of Capt. @. H. Mathews, late of
this regiment, the following resolutions
were offered and unanimously adopted !:

of Capt. @. II. Mathews we regret to
have to part with gentleman whose so.
cial powers, urbanity of manners, and
gentlemanly department, have deserved.
ly won him the high esteem and. lasting
respect Of every officer of this command.
Q. Resolued, That in the resignation
of Capt. G. II. Mathews the regiment
looses faithful and efficient officer and

R6TWe have been shown document sign
ed BY the Mayors in Office Of the cities Of the
United States and Canada, certifying to the
superior excellence of DR.. Ayers Compound
Extract of Sarsaparilla and to the value Of all
his remedies as articles of great public utility.
Such evidence from such high sources bears
US out triumphantly in the position we have
long maintained with regard to Doct. Ayers
preparations, or more particularly our adver-
tisements Of them. No publishers need be
more opposed than we are to the promulga-
ton Of quackery in any shape, but we knew
when We began that his remedies were above
any suspicion of deception-that they were
about the best it is possible to produce for the
cure of disease, and that they have the conf
dence of all communities where they are best
known. Not alone because the Mayors of the
whole country believe them useful to their
people, but because we know from experience
that they are so to ours, do we believe we are
rendering substantial service to our readers
in making their virtues known to them. .-Cou-

Saint Valentines RaY.

Tomorrow is Valentine Day, 1.-THE an.
niversary Of Saint Valentine. How the
idea of'sending valentines originated, is
a query. Valentines were originally
written in chaste aud graceful style,
breathing sentiments Of pnrity and love,
and often lead to happy alliance. But
in these degenerate days all kinds Of
horrible looking figures are transmitted
through the Post Office. There are
many who embrace Valentine day as q
favorable opportunity to give vent to q
long aud cherished feeling of revenge.
The practice of sending valentines, how
ever, is gradually going out Of date.
