The reception of the First Regiment
Monday was Of the most enthusiastic and
heartfelt nature, and but for the gale of
wind that thoroughly sanded everybody
that ventured out of doors, it would have
been of more imposing character. It
was, however, creditable to our citizens,
and merited by our gallant soldiers. The
regimental flag, torn and tattered by bull
let's aud other casualties of the battlefield,
was a spectacle that spoke volumes, if not
a whole history, for the glorious boys who
have so often fearlessly and nobly rallied
around it. The soldiers presented an ex-
ceedingly hardy and healthy appearance,
and were in excellent spirits, notwithstand-
ing many of them were thoroughly chilled

the veterans !-they have fought nobly for
a noble cause, and their example, together
with the respect and gratitude evinced for
their heroism, will, let US hope, stimulate
others to emulation. io1 Fr. rH.,tsa51

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-[ Special to Com
nserci0. There Is an evident disposition on
the part Of Congress to- grant authority 70 Sec
rotary Chase to sell the surplus geld in the
treasury. His friends assert that the receipts
at custom houses between now and July list
will be more than sufficient to meet the specie
demands that will be due at thxt time, and that
q judiciOus sale of even one half of the twenty
two million dollars Of gold now in the treasury
will put q stop to the speculation in gold.
Others, however, fear that this gold If taken
from the treasury, will be sent abroad. and
thus have disastrous effect on Our finances.

cannot be difficult to establish beyond cavil
the truth or falsity Of such q charge; and
it will stand as monument Of public

Execution of a De.er.er.

Some two or three months ago, SOL
der named ARMsBEE, deserted from the
I'd Massachusetts cavalry, went over to
the enemy and joined MosEBY's guerillas.
About two weeks ago he led rebel cav
airy charge against his old regiment, was
captured, tried by drum-head court mar
tial, and condemned to be shot, which
sentence was carried into execution at
Vienna, on Saturday. A cavalry brigade
was drawn in hollow square upon an open
field, and the prisoner marched around in
review. He was then taken to the stand
and asked if he had anything to say, to
which he replied in firm voice, "Fare-
well, comrades" After prayer by q
chaplain, he took his seat unassisted on
the coffin, and barring his breast, ordered
the squad to fire, which was done, and he
fell dead pierced by several bullets.

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM.
AdOpted at Chicago, August 80. 1861.

RESOLVED, Tha: in the future, as in the past, we
will adhere with answering fidelity to the Uni
on under the Constitution as the only solid ioun-
dation of our strength. security and happiness as
a people, and as a framework OF Government
equally conducive to the welfare and pros perty
of all the States, both Northern and Southern.
RESOLVED, That this convention does explicitly
declare, as the sense of the American people. that
after four years of failure to restore the Union
by the experiment Of war, during which, under
the pretense of military necessity, or war
power higher than the Constitution the Consti-
tuition itself it has been disregarded in every
part and public liberty and private right trod-
den down and the material property of the
country essentially impaired-Justice, humanity,
liberty, and the public welfare demand that i'm
mediate efforts be made for cessation of hostil-
tiles with a view to ultimate convention OF
the States, or other peaceable means to the end
that at the earliest practicable moment peace
NAV be restored on the basis OF the Federal Union
of the States.
Resolved. That the direct interference oil the
military authorities of the United States in the re-
cent elect ons held in Kentucky, Maryland, Mis-
souri, and Delaware was shameful violation OF
the constitution. and a repetition of such acts In
the approaching election will be held as revolu-
tionary and resisted with all the means and power
under our control.
Resolyed That the aim and object of the dem
ocratic party is to preserve the Federal Union
and the rights of the States unimpaired; nj they
hereby declare that they consider that the adj
ministrative usurpation of extraordinary and
dangerous powers not granted by the constitu-
tion. the subversion OF the civil by military law
in States not in Instruction; the arbitrary mil
tary arrest imprisonment, trial and sentence of
American citizens in States wherethe civil law
exists in full force, the suppression of the free
dom of speech and of the press, the denial of the
right of asylum, the open and avowed disregard
of State rights, the employment of unusual test
oaths. and the interference with and denial OF the
ri oht of the people to bear arms in their defence
is calculated to prevent restoration OF the
Union and the perpetuation of Government
deriving its just powers from the consent of the
governed.
Resolped, That the shameful disregard OF the
Administration to its duty, in respect to our fell
low citizens who now are, and long have been
prisoners of war in suffering condition, deserves
the severest reprobation, on the score alike Of
public policy and common humanity
RESOLVED, That the sympathy otthe democratic
party is heartily and earnestly extended to the
soldiery of our army and sailors of our navy who
are. and have been in the field and on the sea-
under the flag of their country; and, in the event
of its attaining power, they will receive all the
care. protection and regard that the brave sol
ders and sailors of the Republic have so nobly
earned,

One of our government officials just returned
from Peru tells us that among the first and most
frequent Inquiries made Of him there about our
public men was, whether he knew or had ever
seen the celebrated American Chemist, Dr.. ~
Aver, OF Lowell. His remedies are found IN
every village from the elevated slopes oil Inc
Andes down to the coast, and their remarkable
cures seem to attract even more attention there
than in this country. The sentiment OF wonder
at their effects, takes far deeper hold on bali
civilized and superstitous people than it does
with us where the rationale OF medical problems
is so much more generally understood. No other
American has made himself so Familiarity known
