The Eighth Volume of the Era will com mence on the first of January ensuing, and be enlarged by the addition of four columns. We havo neglected no means that could promise to make it an agreeable companion for the House hold, and an efficient oo-adjutor to the cnlight 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 Coagreas, explains movements in that body, the causes of whiah do not always lie upon the surface, and from its position is enabled to keep a oonstant watch upon the ac tion of the Federal Government in relation to all questions at iasuo between Liberty and Slavery. The only journal at the seat of the Federal Government, representing the Anti-Slavery ?Sentiment of the Republio, whilo the Pro-Sla very Sentiment ia represented hero by four daily papers, noarly all of them being liberally sustained by (iovern mental patronage, it asks the support of all who believo, in sincerity, that the Union was formed to secure the blessings of Liberty, and not to porpotnate the ourse of Slavery.

Washington, December 15, 1853. INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. ADOPTKD 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 tiding 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 judgmeut 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 sovereignly of the Stales, 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 ernmeiu, and it is inexpedient and dan gerous to exercise doubtful constitutional powers. IV. That the Constitution of the United States, ordained to form *a more perfect union, to establish justice, and secure the blessings of liberty, 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 pewer 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 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 man, which no human enactment nor usage can make right; and that Christianity, humanity, and patriotism, alike demand its al>olition. VII. That the fugitive Slave Act of 1K.50 is repugnant to the Constitution,'to the principles of the common law, to the spirit of Christianity, and to tho senti ments of the civilised world. We there fore deny its binding- force upon tin* American "People, and demand its imme diate and total repeal. VIII. That the doctrine that any human law is n 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 li|?erties of the people, n IX. That the acts of Congress known as the Compromise Measures of iKnO, by making the 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 in 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, ami for fhe 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 clatfh, 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; liy the total separation of the General Government from Slavery, and "the exercise of its legitimate and ^insti 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, a? the use of the soil is indispensable to lile, the right of all men to the soil is as sacred as their right to lile itself. XII. That the public lands of the Uni ted States belong to the people, and should not be sold to individuals nor granted to corporations, but should be held 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 pointthat no more reve nue should be raised than is required to defray the strictly necessary expenses of the public service, and to pay oft" 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, ami 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 States, 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 in the New ; and every attempt to abridge thpir 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 iuteiferenre 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 means to prevent, the intervention of Kings and Emperors against nations seeking to establish for themselves republican or constitutional Governments. X\ II. That the independence of Hayti ought to be recognised by our Govern ment, and our commercial relations with it placed on the fooling of the most favor ed nations. XVIII. That as, by the Constitution, j ," the citizens of each State shall be en titled to all privileges and immunities of citizens of the several States," the prac- | lice of imprisoning colored seainen?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 States, to lest 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 made by the slaveholders, that they wish the pro visions of the Constitution faithfully ob served by every State in the Union. XIX. That we recommend the intro duction into all treaties, hereafter to be negotiated between the United States and I foreign nations, of some provision for the i amicable settlement of difficulties by a re 1 sort to decisive arbitration. XX. That the Free Democratic party is not organized to aid either the Whig or J Democratic wing of the great Slave Com I promise party of the nation, but to defeat them both ; and that repudiating and re nouncing both, as hopelessly corrupt, and | utterly unworthy of confidence, the pur- j 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 whole people. XXI. That we inscribe on our banner, I Frke Son., Free Speech, Free Labor, ! and Free Men, and under il will fight on and fight ever, until a triumphant victory j shall reward our exertious. XXII. That upon this Platform the Con- | vention presents to the American People, as a candidate for the office of President of the Hnited States, John P. Hale, of New Hampshire, and as a candidate for the office of Vice President of the United Stales, George W. Julian, of Indiana, and earnestly commends them to the sup port of all freemen and parties.
