In Literature, it finis to unite the 'Beautiful with the True, and to make both immediately subservient to the practical purpose* of every day life. , In Politics, it advocates the Rights of Man, and the Equality of Righto, and opposes what ever violates or tends to violate them, whethor this be Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis lation, the Selfishness of Capital, the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression of a Majority, or the Exaotions of Party. U holds no fellowship with the Whig and Democratio organizations, believing that the main issues on whieh they have been arrayed against oaoh other are obsolete or settled, and that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional Interest of Slavery, to impair the love of Lib erty natural to the American mind, and to subjugate the American People to its rule. Dis claiming all connection with them, it yot sym pathises with those of their adherents who (ire honestly seeking through thom to advance the substantial interests of the country, although it must believe that they have not chosen the better way. It is a supporter of tho-Independent Democ racy, which holds that tho Truths of the Dec laration of Independence aro practical, that in their light the Constitution of the United States is to be interpreted, that to them the laws and institutions and usagos of the coun try should be conformed?a Party, whose motto is, Union, not for the sake of Union, but for the sake of Freedom and Progress; and Imw, not fiw the sake of Law, but for tho Protection of Human Rights and Interests? the only sure foundation of order and oonoord. In no sense is it the organ of a Party, or a mere Party Paper, but absolutely " freo and independent," olaimipg to speak " by author ity'' for nobody exoept its oaitor, and recogni sing 90 authority in any quarter to prescribe its course and poliov. The Eighth Volume of the Era will com mence on tho first of January ensuing, and be enlarged by the addition of four oolumns. We have neglocted no means that oould promise to make it an agreeable companion for the House hold, and an efficient co-adjutojr to the enlight ed Politician. It has secured able correspond ents at home and abroad, and no journal in the oountry oan surpass the Era as it respocts contributors to its Literary Department. The Era publishes condensed reports of the proceedings of Congress, explains movements in that body, the oauscs of which do not always lie upon the surface, and from its position is onabled to keep a constant watch upon the ac tion of tho Federal Government in relation to all questions at issue betwoen Liberty and Slavery. The only journal at the soat of tho Federal Government, representing the Anti-Slavery Sentiment of tho Republio, while the Pro-Sla very Sentiment is represented here by four daily paners, nearly all of them being liberally sustained by Governmental patronage, it ask* the support of all who believe, in ainoerity, that the Union was formod to secure the blessings of Liberty, and not to perpetuate the cursc of Slavery.

In no souse will it bo tho organ of n Part^ or a mere Party Paper, hut almolutely ' fire? and independent," claiming to speak by " au thority ' for nobody except its editor, and rec ognising no authority in any quarter to pro scribe its course and policy. In Literature, it will aim to unite the Boun tiful with the True, and to make both immedi ately subservient to tho praotical purposes of every-duy life. Able correspondents, at home and abroad, have been secured, and ample provision has been made for its Literary Miscellany. It will publish condensed reports of the prd- - coedings of Congress, explain movements in that body, the oautes of which do not always lie upon the surface, and from its position lie able to keep a constant watch upon the action of the Federal Government in relation to all questions at issue between Liberty aud Slavery. The extensive subscription ol the Weekly Era, which, daring tho year about to close, has reaohed the number of twenty-eight thousand, must make it an eligible medium fur advertisers. Tho Daily Era will be issued on a sheet as largo as that of the Daily National Intelligencer, on the 2d day of January, 1854, and daily there after, until tho 1st of September, 1851, (or long er, should Congress contiuue in session,) at fivk dollars for that pkriou; and sJiould the result then warrant, the publication will be resumed on tho 1st of Soptombor following, by the year. As but eixteon days intervene betweeu this and the 2d of January, it is important that subscriptions be forwarded at once. Payment in advance will be invariably re quired. G. BAILEY. Washington, December 15, 1853. INDEPEiNDENT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. ADOPTED AT PITTSBURGH, AUGUST 12, 18i2. Having assembled in National Conven tion as the delegates of the Free Democra cy ol (he 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 guidaifce in our endeavors to advance it, we now submit to the candid judgment of all 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 publip affairs, with out sectional discriminations, of the fun damental principles ol equal rights, strict justice, and economical administration. III. I hat 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 aud agents of the Gov ernment, and it is inexpedient and dan gerous to exercise doubtful constitutional powers. I V./rimt the Constitution of the United Sfates, ordained to form a more perfect union, to establish justice, and secure the blessings of lil>erty, expressly denies to the General Government all power to de prive any person of life, liberty, 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 to legislate 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 filial answer is?no more slave States, no slave Territory, no nationalized Slavery, and no national legislation for the extradition of slaves. * VI. I hat Slavery is a sin against God and a crime against man, which no human enactment nor usage can make right; and that Christianity, humanity, and patriotism, alike demand its abolition. VII. That the fugitive Slave Art of 1850 is repugnant to the Constitution, to the principles of the 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 demaud its imme diate and total repeal. V III. That the doctrine that any humah 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, ami in dangerous to the liberties of the people. IX. That the acts of Congress known as the Compromise Measures of 1K50, by making the admission of a sovereign Slate contingent upon the adoption of other measures demanded by the special inter est of Slavery ; by their omission to guar anty freedom in free Territories; by their attempt to impose unconstitutional limit ations on the powcT of Congress and the people to admit new States ; by their pro visions for the assumption of five millions of the State debt of Tqxas, 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 ol 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 iio |M*riiiauif*nl settlement of the Slavery question can tie looked l??r, except in the prartii itl recognition of the truth that Slavery ih sectional, ami Free dom national; by the total Maturation of the General Government from Slavery, ami the exercise of it* legitimate ami cousti tutioual inllueiice on the side of Freedom; and hy leaving to I he State* the whole subject of Slavery and th^ e\tradition 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 lift*, the right of all men to the soil is as snored as their right to lite itself. XII. That the public lauds of the Uni ted StateM belong to the people, and should not be Hold to individual*! nor granted to corporations, but should be held as a sa cred trust lor the benefit of the people, nnd should be gruuted in limited quanti ties, free of cost, to landless settlers. XIII. That a due regard for the Federal Constitution, rind sound administrative policy, demand that the funds of the Gen eral Government be kept iieparulc from hanking 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 ami patron age ol the Government should lie dimin ished by the abolition of all unnecessary ollices, salaries, and privileges, and by the election by the people of all civil officers in the service of the United States, so far as may be 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 Slates, are objects of national concern, and it is the duty of Congress, in 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 ami fields of enterprise iu the New ; and every attempt to abridge their privilege of becoming citizens and owners of the soil among us ought to be resisted withvtnllexible 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 interference with that right is a dangerous violation of tin 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 means to prevent, the intervention of Kings and Emperors against nations seeking to establish for themselves republican or constitutional Governments. XV II. That the independence of Hayti j ought to be recognised by our Govern- I ' ment, and our commercial relations with it placed on the footing of the most favor j ed nations. XVIII. That as, by the Constitution, " the citizens of each State shall l?e 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 be fore the Supreme Court of the - United j States, to test the legality of such pro ceedings, is a flagrant violation of the Constitution, and an invasion of the rights of the citizens of otther States, utterly in consistent with the professions inane by the slaveholders, that they wish the pro visions of the Constitution faithfully ob served by every Slate in the Union. XIX. That we recommend the intro duction into all treaties, hereafter to be negotiated between the United Stales ami foreign nations, of some provision for tin amicable settlement of difficulties by a re sort to decisive arbitration. XX. That the Free Democratic party i?* not organized to aid either the Whig or Democratic wing of the great Slave Com promise party of the nation, bnt to defeat them both ; and that repudiating and re nouncing both, as hopelessly corrupt, and utterly unworthy of confidence, the pur pose of the Free Democracy is to take possession of the Federal Government, and administer it for the better protection of the rights and interests of the wjiole people. XXI. That we inscribe on our banner, Frre Soil, Free Speech, Frke Labor, j and Free Men, and under it will fight on 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 of the United States, John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, and as a candidate for the office of Vice President of the United Slates, George VV. Julian, of Indiana, and earnestly commends them to the sup port of all freemen and parties. T. *.

The cost of this starch is about the same as common starch, the entire cost not exceeding five cents per quart, and is made just as quick. It pre serves the clothes, and gives thoin a glossy and enam elled apj<earaneo, that no othor starch can do. This is an entiroly new discovery, and the first time ever offered to the public. I ask a fee of only one dime for imparting the knowledge how t? make this starch , and I exj?ect to make more out of it at that low price than 1 could by selling it to a few of the rich for five dollars, which has bcon done. Now, ladies and gen tlemen, send on your dimes, and gst this information, which some of you woald not be without for fifty times its cost.
