We have lived sufficiently long, how. tver to learn, that names are but too often iilusory and deceptive, and that the arts 01 impostors are seldom put in pradice, except under cover of some specions and imposing lppellation. We shall not therefore rest our claims upon a name, but invite tne severest scru:iny of our readers to the fidelity with which our professions as an editor are main tained and practised. . As the only legitimate object of a republi can or democratic government ia the equal protection of the rights, and promotion of the welfare and happiness of all ; it follows as an irresistable conclus;on, that that administra tion, or system of measures which is most conducive to these ends, is best entitled to the appellation of democratic. And as the only true test, of the merit of measures or adminis trations, is to be found in the effects produced on the interests and moral character of soci ety, it is by this standaid alone that we silall aim to be governed in passing judgment upon them. We believe the doctrines or rather the dog mas of party as inculcated by (he lenders o that scl oo laying exclusive claims to democ racy, to be the most dangerous, because the most insiduous enemy to the interests and in stitutions of the country that it demands oi ts votaries passive obedience to the order ol leaders, regardless of the claims of patriotism. ol count-y, or the constitution. Our endeav. or shall therefore be, to expose and counteract the dangerous ai.d enslaving tendency of this doctrine, and enforce as far as in our power lies the higher obligations ol duty to ourselves and to our country, believing that where the requirements of party are thus urged by its leaders, the proceeding carries on its lace the most conclusive evidence, that it is Hit ir own nterests and not those of the country they are laboring to promote We beiicve that the wealth, happiness and independence of our country, depend on the encouragement and protection of the labor and industry ol our own citizens, and the cultiva tion of our own resources in all practibable cases for the supply ot our wants. 111 prefer ence to v reliance npon a precarious supply, to be drawn from abroad, subject to the cap rice of the world and the contingences offer eign commerce.

We are allowed to make use of those things which Heaven has been pleased to bestow upon us for the prolongation of life, and by judicious care, and strict atten tion, we are enabled to extend our days. The human system is so constituted that i s liable to disease at any moment, and unless the greatest precaution is used, it beeomes a V ctim, and withers away like the fresh mown grass before the noon-day son. When sickness lays its blighting hand npon us when fever parches the lips, and the eyes lose their lustrewhen the body is racked with pain, and vitality seems about departing then we regret not having made use of med icine, the beneficial results of which has been tested in thousands of instances. Nature's Tkue Remedy' consists in entirely discarding all animal and mineral substances, and resorting to The Vegetable Ki.ngdox. The most eminent medical men in all conn, tries, and in every sge, agree that the safi et. best.cnd in fact the only medicine which should be used, is that which is compounded entire ly of vegetable substances, because : SZTlt is of a nature best adapted to purify the blood. CTlt enters 'at once into the system, thour- oughly eradicating all humors which have an injurious tendency. iLTlt removes all undue biliary secretions, and promotes the insensible perspiration. 0lt renovates, restores and strengthens the fystem. Stain Bran's Vegetable Extract Pills possess the true medical properties of sue plants, roots and barks as have been proved by long experience to possess a curative virtue for ihe various maladies incident to the hu man frame, and nothing bnt the finer and pu rer parts are used. By the process of the newly invented machinery the essential quail ties are alone taken in a concentrated form thus separating them from the grosser and fibrous parts. Stawbceh's PILLS will immediately attack the seat of disease, and gradually, by means of their purgative operation, most surely ante out ail disease rom the system. Are You SurrEEixs From Rbevx atism pains in vour back, or in your shoulder, hip or knee joints ? The Vegetable Extract Pills are eminently adapted to alleviate your sufferings. That portion of rhem which has a peculiar tendency to cor. ect the secretions, will stir up and unloosed this trying disease from its hold, while their aperient action will carry on the humors which occasion pain From Gout severe pains m the smaller joints, or the lower extremities, attended by swelling and innamation. Ihe same success must immediately follow a course of the Veg etable Extract Pills, if taken according to the directions which accompany each box. From Constitutional or Habitual Costive ness tbe extract 1 1'ls wi;i, it taken in small nd oft-repeated doses, so strengthen and en courage to action the digestive organs, and at the same time so thoroughly cleanse from all obstruction the large intestines, that this most discouraging and very fatal malady must be expelled from the system. Fbom ax Accumulation of Bilk in the stom. aah, producing rising in the throat, sick bead ache, loss of appetite, etc.? If you neglect those symptoms, and use no means to relieve your stomach, a bilious fever will surely over, take you From Scrofula, or King's Evil producing runniig tumors on the glands of the neck or on the shoulders ? The alterative and purify, ing principle of Sarsaparilla, so powerfully yet so minutely contained in Stainburn's Pills, will immediately attack tbe seat of disease, and expel it from the system. In all cases of recent Sickness snch as a cough, headache, shivering, pains in the limbs ,or back, occasioned by having taken cold, or a sudden change of weather, STAINBURN'S VEGETABLE EXTRACT PILLS will be found to give sure and immediate ease, by re iieving the various outlets of the system which the cold had shut up. If you have pain in the stomach, attended with dysentery or relaxed bowels, occasioned by change of climate, or by eating improptr and unhealthy food, the Extract Pills will car ry off all cause of pain, aod restore a healthy regularity. (DBk wise in time and delay not for i you neglect proper advice and despise high medical authority, you must expect to fall a victim to your own inertness. Families should always have Stainbcrn's Vesetablb Extract Pills in the house, so that they can be resorted to at any moment in case of sudden sickness.

Once fully organized, they will advance to certain, glorious and benefit cent victory. , The Publishers of the New.Yoek Tribune, having been urged from several quarters to issue a cheaper paper devoted to the irnpor tant work of d Musing to every dwelling cor rect and convincing information with regard to .h6 character, principles, objects and meas ures of the tsro great parties, have hesitated to issue a smaller sheet devoted specially to this purpose, since it would subjeet its patrons to the same postage that is charged on our present ample sheet, and miis-t necessarily exclude those portions of the Literature, Gen eral News of the Day, and accurate and exten sive reports of the transactions in the Money and Produce markets, which the Tribune has the ample means of presenting, and which -every family should in some form possess. They have concluded, therefore, to publish an extra edition of the Weekly Tribu..e as it is, containing the same matter that is trans mitted to our regular subscribes. This Ex. tra edition will be commenced with the num. ber of December 9th, cotaining the Presidents, message at the opening of the new congress, and continuing to ihe number which in Nov ember, 144, shall announce the result of the Presidential election, (being fifty weeks ofnnmbers.) Ofthis extra edition, we will send through the who'e term Twenty Copies to one address for Twenty Dollars. Where the papers are required to be sent to different Post Offices, or where the name of the subscriber is required to be written on each, we must insist on our uniform price- Two dollars for a single copy per year; Ten copies or more at the rate of one dollar and and a half each. Do not ask us to swerve from this tule, frieuds! for the thing is impos sible. The character of the Tribune is by this time generally known. It aims to reconcile the largest freedom of Thought and Action with a profonnd reverence for Law and obe dience to rightful Authority to be the stern foe of all discord, anarchy and turbulence, but he champion of every generous idea, how ever novel or unpopular, which has for its end the upraising of the oppressed and the lowly. While it proffers no claim to the abused name of Democracy, so long the cloak of political Phraieees, the cant ol designing demagogues. it will be, as it has been, in the legitimate sense of the word, truly Democratic the ad. versary of every wrong, the exposcr of hollow profession and scheming knavery, and the ad vocate of every movement tending to the dif fusion of true Freedom and upward Progress of the Human race. The Weekly Tribune is published in this city every Saturday morning, but despatched by the Mails of Thursday and Friday. It is of the largest size, folded in eight pages, so s to be about the average size of two com mon new pa per s. Subscriptions are respect ulty solicited. GREELY &, McERATH.

CODEY'S LADY'S BOOK. FOR 1843. EDITED BY MRS. S. J. BALE AND OTHERS. TO THE DEMOCRATIC WHIGS OF MICHIGAN. MASS STATE CONVENTION. The Whig State Central Committee, in ac cordance with a resolution adopted at the last State Convention, hereby give notice that a Mass Convention of the Democratic Whigs of the State Michigan, will be held at Mar shall, on the Fourth day of July next, at ten o'clock in the forenoon of that day, to respond to the uominationi of HENRY CLAY for iPresident, and THEODORE FEELING- The long established arbitre of Taste and Fashion, Belles Lettres for the Ladies of America. 4Ti ODEY'S LADY'S BOOK having been, HJH for so long a series of years, universally recognized as the indisputable guide to the -air sex. in matters of taste, fashion and literature, the only work conducted by distinguished female authors, who have won for themselves a high place among the guiding sp;rts of the age the only work whieh in point of fact has been EXCLUSIVELY DEVOTED TO THE LADIES, its favor with its lair patrons has not been less remarkable than its perfect adaption to their feelings and tastes and their require, meots. In entering upon a new year the pub lisher without diminishing in the least that STERLING AND USEFUL LITERATURE which has long resulted from laying under contribution the native good sense and elagant ancyofour AMERICAN FEMALE WRU TERS, will as each successive number ap pears, present in the several departments of LITERATURE, FASHION, AND PICTO RIAL EMBELLISHMENT, a constant and ever varying succession of New and striei.ng features. Nor does he promise without am- pie ablity to perform. The best literary tal ent, the best efforts of the most distinguished artists in the country and to crown as well as adorn the whole, the most perfect arrange, ments tor the reception of the Americas, Lon don and Paris fashions, far in advance of any other publication in this country, enable him to assure the patrons of the Lady's Book that the forthcoming volume will more than justify us well earned title of the magazine of maga zines, for the ladies of our coutitry. It has passed into custom to assert that dress is a matter of trifling importance, but this every lady knows to be false. Taste in dress is universally felt to be the index of a thousand desirable qualities in woman, while a deficiency in this respect always injures one in the estimation of strangers, and even of her intimate friends .he beaty ot Helen and tbe wit of Aspasia, would hardly commend to gen eral favor an acknowledged dowdy in dress. HEYSEN for Vice President of the United j Hence the importance ot an accredited guide o the fashions. This useful office, already filled for fourteen years with universal accept, anbe by the Lady s Book, the publisher pledges "himself lo discharge in future in a style sur passing all his former, efforts. The Ladies know perfectly weft tdat our Magazine's is the highest authority in fashion. No lady considers herself well dressed who cantravenes this authority, and in our own city, in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Louis States ; and also to nominate five Presidential Electors to be supported at the ensuing No vember Election. Tha Whig county com. mittees are respectively requested to take the necessary measures, to insure a-tun attend ance at the Convention oi the whigs of their espective coun'ies. Let the convention be worthy of the cause and the man. The Committee avail themselves of this oc casion, to congratulate the whigs of the state npon the bright prospects, and glorious tri-iyiHe, Lexington, Su Louis. New Orleans, umphs that every day attend the Whig cause. Harmonious in feeling, cordial and united in action, with purposes well understood, and with principles well settled, the Whies under the banner of their favorite cbeaftain, march forth once more to the rescue of the country.

The Publisher's means of increasing the beauty of the Lady's Book are accumulating year by year. To Ins already inestimable list of contributors, he :s constantly receiving ac cessions both at home and abroad. His ar rangements with respect to original paintings, from such Artistsas Rotheimel, Frankenstein,. Chapman.
