The National Era in a weekly newspaper, devoted to Literature and Politics. la Literature, it eimfe to unite tho Beautiful with, tho True, and to make both i in mediately subservient to tho praotioal purposes of every day life. In Politics, it advocates the Rights of Man, and tho Equality of Rights, and opposes what ever violates or tends to violate them, whether this be Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis lation, the Selfishness of Capital, the Tyranny of Combination, tho Oppression of a Majority, or tho Exactions of Party. It holds no fellowship with the Whig and Democratic organizations, believing that tho main issues on whioh they have been arrayed against each other are obsolete or settled, and that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional Interest of Slavery, to impair the lovo of Lib erty natural to tho American mind, and to subjugate the American Peoplo to its rule. Dis claiming all connection with them, it yet sym pathizes with those of their adherents who are honestly seekiug through them to advanoe tho substantial interests of the country, although it must believe that they have not ohosen tho better way. It is a supporter of the Independent Democ racy, whioh holds that tho Truths of the Dec laration of Independence are practical, that in their light the Constitution of the United States is to be interpreted, that to thqpi tho lawB and institutions and usages of the coun try should be oonformed?a Party, whose motto is, Union, not for the sake of Union, but for the sake of Freedom and Progress; and Law, not for the sake of Law, but for the Protection of Human Rights and Interests? tho only sure foundation of order and oonoord. In no Bense is it tho organ of a Party, or a mere Party Paper, but absolutely " free aud independent," claiming to speak " by author ity * for nobody exoept its editor, and recogni sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe its oourse and policy. Tho Eighth Volume of tho Era will com mence on the first of January ensuing, and be enlarged by the addition of four oolumns. We have neglected no means that oould promise to make it an agreeablo companion for the House hold, and an efficient co-adjutor to the enlight ed Politician. It has secured able correspond ents at home and abroad, and no journal in the oountry can surpass the Era as it respects contributors to its Literary Department. The Era publishes condensed reports of the proceedings of Congress, explains movements in that body, the causes of which do not always lio upon the flurfaco, and from its position is onablod to keep a constant watch upon the ac tion of the Fodaral Government in relation to all questions at issue between Liberty and Slavery. The only journal at the seat of the Federal Government, representing the Anti-Slavery ?Sentiment of the Republic, while the Pro-Sla very Sentiment is represented here by four daily papers, nearly all of them being liberally sustained by Governmental patronage, it asks tho support of all who believe, in sinoerity, that tho Union was formed to socure the blessings of Liberty, and not to perpetuate tbo curse of Slavery. Payment in advanoo is invariably requirod. To prevent annoyance and Ions to ourselves and rcivdern, to preserve their files unbroken, and to oniiMe us to know how large an edi tion of tho paper to issue, all subscription* ?hould bo renewed before they expire.

Washington, December 15, 1853. INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, AUGUST 12,1852. Having, assembled in National Conven tion as the delegates of the Free Democra cy of the United States, united by a com mon resolve to maintain right against wrongs, and freedom against slavery; con fiding in the intelligence, patriotism, and the discriminating justice of the American people ; putting our trust in God for the triumph of our cause, and invoking his guidance in our endeavors to advance it, we now submit to the candid judgment of nil men the following declaration of prin ciples and measures: I. That Governments, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, are instituted among men to secure to all, those inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, with which they were endowed by their Creator, and of which none can be deprived by valid legis lation, except for crime. II. That the true mission of American Democracy is to maintain the liberties of the people, the sovereignty of the States, and the perpetuity of the Union, by the impartial application to public affairs, with out sectional discriminations, of the fun damental principles of equal rights, strict justice, and economical administration. III. That the Federal Government is one of limited powers, derived solely from the Constitution ; and the grants of power therein ought to be strictly construed by all the departments and agents of the Gov ernment, ?ml it is inexpedient and d?n g?:rous to exercise doubtful constitutional I towers. IV. That the Constitution of the United States, ordained to form a more perfect union, to establish jifrtice, and secure the blessings of liberty, expressly denies to the General Government all power to de prive any person of life, lilterty', or prop erty, without due process of law; and, therefore, the Government, having no more power to make a slave than to make a king, and no more power to establish sla very than to establish monarchy, should at once proceed to relieve itself from all re sponsibility for the existence of slavery wherever it possesses constitutional power tojegislate for its extinction. V. That, to the persevering and impor tunate demands of the Slave Power for more slave States, new slave Territories, and the nationalization of Slavery, our dis tinct and final answer is?no more slave States, no slave Territory, no nationalized Slavery, and no national legislation for the extradition of slaves. VI. That Slavery is a sin against God and a crime against niRii, which no hm^n enactment nor usage can make right; and that Christianity, humanity,and patriotism, alike demand its abolition. VII. That the fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is repugnant to the Constitution, to the principles of tin? common law, to the spirit of Christianity, and to the senti ments of the civilized world. We there fore deny its binding force upon the American People, and demand ks imme diate and total repeal. VIII. That the doctrine that any human law is a finality, and not subject to modi fication or repeal, is not in accordance with the creed of the founders of our Gov ernment, and is dangerous to the liberties of the people. IX. That the acts of Congress known as the Compromise Measures of 1850, by making 4he admission of a sovereign State contingent upon the adoption of other measures demanded by the special inter est of Slavery; by their omission to guar anty freedom ip free Territories ; by their attempt to impose unconstitutional limit ations on the power of Congress and the people to admit new States ; by their pro visions for the assumption of five millions of the State debt of Texas, and for the payment of five millions more, and the cession of a large territory to the same State under menace, as an inducement to the relinquishment of a groundless claim, and by their invasion of the sovereignty of the States and the liberties of the peo ple, through the enactment of an unjust, oppressive, and unconstitutional Fugitive Slave Law, are proved to be inconsistent with all the principles and maxims of De mocracy, and wholly inadequate to the settlement of the questions of which they are claimed to be an adjustment. X. That no permanent settlement of the Slavery question can be looked for, except in the practical recognition of the truth that Slavery is sectional, and Free dom national; by the total separation of the General Government from Slavery, and the exercise of its legitimate and consti tutional influence on the side of Freedom; and by leaving to the States the whole subject of Slavery and the extradition of fugitives from service. XI. That all men have a natural right to a portion of the soil; and that, as the use of the soil is indispensable to life, the right of all men to the soil is as sacred as their right to life itself. . XII. That the public lands of the Uni ted States belong to the people, and should not be sold to individuals nor graft ted to corporations, l?ut should be hold as a sa cred trust for the benefit of the people, and should be granted in limited quanti ties, free of cost, to landless settlers. XIII. That a due regard for the Federal Constitution, and sound administrative policy, demand that the funds of the Gen eral Government be kept separate from banking institutions; that inland and ocean postage should be reduced to the lowest possible point; that no more reve nue should be raised than is required to defray the strictly necessary expenses Of the public service, and to pay off the pub lic debt; and that the power and patron age of the Government should be dimin ished by the abolition of all unnecessary offices, salaries, and privileges, and by the election by the people of all civil officers in the service of the United States, so far as maybe consistent with the prompt and efficient transaction of the public business. XIV. That river and harbor improve ments, when necessary to the safety and convenience of commerce with foreign nations or among the several States, are objects of national concern, and it is the duty of Congress, iu the exercise of its constitutional powers, to provide for the same. XV. That emigrants and exiles from the Old World should find a cordial wel come to homes of comfort and fields, of enterprise in the New ; and every attempt to abridge their privilege of becoming citizens and owners of the soil among us ought to be resisted with inflexible deter mination. XVI. That every nation has a clear right to alter or change its own Govern ment, and to administer its own concerns in such manner as may best secure the rights and promote the happiness of the people, and foreign inteiference with that right is a dangerous violation of the law of nations, against which all independ ent Governments should protest, and en deavor by all proper means to prevent; and especially is it the duty of the Ameri can Government, representing the chief Republic of the world, to protest against, and by all proper melius to prevent, the intervention of Kings and Emperors against nations seeking to establish for themselves republican or constitutional Governments. XVII. That the independence of Hayti ought to be recognised by our Govern ment, and our commercial relations with it placed on the footing of the most favor ed nations. XVIII. That as, by the Constitution, " the citizens of each State shall be en titled to all privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States," the prac tice of imprisoning colored seamen of other States, while the vessels to which they belong lie in port, and refusing to exercise the right to bring such cases lie fore the Supreme Court of the United States, to test the legality of such pro ceedings, 1s a flagrant violatiou of the Constitution, and an invasion of the rights of the citizens of otther States, utterly in consistent with the professions made by the slaveholders, that they wish the pro visions of the Constitution faithfully ob served by every State iu the Union. XIX. That we recommend the intro duction into all treaties, hereafter to be negotiated between the United States and foreign nations, of some provision for the amicable settlement of difficulties by a re sort to decisive arhitratioft. XX. That the Free Democratic party is not organized to aid either the Whig or | Democratic wing of the great Slave Com- I promise party of the nation, but to defeat i them both ; and that repudiating and re nouncing both, as hopelessly corrupt, and utterly unworthy of confidence, the pur- l pose of the Free Democracy is to take possession of the Federal Government, and administer it for the better protection i of the rights and interests of the whole people. XXI. That we inscribe on our banner, j Free Sou., Free Speech, Free Labor, { and Free Men, ami under it will fight on j and fight ever, until a triumphant .victory shall reward our exertions. XXII. That upon this Platform the Con vention presents to the American People, as a candidate for the office of President j of the United States, John P. Hai.e, of I New Hampshire, and as a candidate for I the office of Vice President of the United States, George W. Julian, of Indiana, and earnestly commends them to the sup port of all freemen ami parties. T. ft.
