WASHINGTON, D. C. P&0CPECTUS Of IBM HQBTH VOLUME OF THE MATIOTAL EBA. O. BAILKY, BUITOR AMD PROPRIETOR. JUHN 0. WHirTIKR, 0ORRKSPONDINU KUITOR. WASHINGTON, D. C. The National Era in a weekly newspaper, devoted to Literature and Politioa. In Literature, it aims to unite the Boautiful with the True, and to make both immediately subservient to the praotioal purported of every day life. In Politics, it advocates the Rights of Man, and the Equality of Rights, and opposes what ever violates or tends to violate thorn, whether this be* Involuntary Personal ^rvitude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Clone Legis lation, the Selfishness of Capital, the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression of a Majority, or the Exactions of Party. It holds no fellowship with the Whig and Democratic organizations, believing that the main ussuoh on whioli tboy have boon arrayed against each other arc obsolete or nettled, anu that they are now chicHy uecd by the Sectional Interest of Slavery, to impair tho love of Lib erty natural to tho American mind, and to subjugate tlfe American People to its rule. Dis claiming all connection with thein, it yot sym pathises with those of their adherents who are honestly seeking through them to advance the substantial interest? of tho country, although it must believe that they havo not chosen the better way. , ^ _ It is a supporter of the Independent l)omoc racy, which 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 intorproted, that to them the laws and institutions and wages of the conn try should be conformed?a Party, whose motto is, Union, not for tho sake of Union, but for the sake of Freedom and Progress; and Late, not for the sake of Law, but for the Protection of Human Rights and Interests? the only surtrfoundation of order and ooncord. In no sense is it the organ of a Party, or a mere Party Paper, but absolutely " free and independent," claiming to speak " by author ity for nobodv exoept its editor, and recogni sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe its oourse and policy. The Eighth Volume of the Era will ooin menoe on the first of January ensuing, and be enlargod by the addition of four columns. We have neglected no means that could promise to make it an agreeable companion for the House hold, and an efficient oo-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, tho causes of whioh do not always lie upon the surface, and from its position is enabled to keep a oonstant watch upon the ao tion of tho Foderal Government in relation to all questions at issue between Liberty and Slavery. The only journal at tho seat of the Federal Government, representing the Anti-Slavery Sentimont of the Republio, while the Pro Sla very Sentiment isr represented here bv four daily papers, nearly all of them being liberally sustained by Governmental patronage, it asks the support of all who believe, in sincerity, that the Union was formed to sooure the blessings of Liberty, and not to perpetuate tho curse of Slavery. Payment in advance is invariably required. To prevent annoyance and loss to ourselves ' and readers, to preservo thoir files unbroken, and to enable us'to know how largo an edi tion of the paper to issue, all suliecription* should be renewed before they expire. We have no credit-eubsoriliers on our books. . TERMS. Single oopy ? - - f 2 Three oopies ... 5 Five oopies - ? . ' 8 Ten oopies - - - IS Single oopy six months ?

PftOIPECTUa OP THE DAILY NATIOWAL ERA I shall issue, on the 2d day of January en suing, the Daii.v National Kra, a Political and Literary Newspaper. In 1'olittct, it will advocate the Rights of Man, and the Fquality of Rights, and oppose whatever violates or tends to violate them, whether this be Involuntary Personal Sorvi tude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, ('lass Legislation, the Selfishness of Capital, the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression ol a Majority, or the Exactions of a Party. It will hold no feUosmhip with the Whig and Democratic organization*, believing that the main issues on whioh they have been ar rayed against each other are obsolete or settled, and that they are now chiefly used by the Sec tional Interest of Slavery, to impair the love of Liberty natural to the American mind, and to subjugate the American People to its rule. Dis claiming all connection with them, it will yet ijnpathiie with those of their adherents who are honestly seeking through them to advance the substantial interests of the oountry, although it must believe that they have not chosen the better way. It will bo a supporter of the Independent Demoora v, whioh holds that tho Truths of tho Declaration of ladependenoe are practical; that in their light the Constitution of the United States is to be interpreted; that to them the laws and institutions and usages of the oountry should be conformed?a Party, whose motto is. Union, not for the sake of Union, but for the s*ks of Freedom and Progress; and Law, not for the sake of Law, hut for the protection of Human Rights and Interest#? the only Hiiro foundation of order and oonoord. in no sense will it be the organ of a Party, or a mere Party Paper, hut absolutely ' free and independent," claiming to sneak by "au thority " lor nobody except itc* editor, and rec ogniHing no authority in any quarter to pre Horibe its <yurso and policy. In Literature, it will aim to unite tho Beau tiful with the True, and to make both immedi ately subservient to the practical purposes of every-day lift. Able correspondents, at home and abroad, have been uocurcd, and ample provision has boon made for its Literary Miscellany. It will publish condensed reports of the pro ceedings of C ingress, explain movements in that body, the cautes of whioh do not always lie upon the surfaoe, and from its position be able to kqep a o,instant watch upon the action of tho Federal Government in relation to all questions at issue between Liberty and Slavery. The extendi?o subscription of the Weekly Kra, which, during the year about to close, has roaohed the number of twenty-eight thousand, must make it an eligible medium for advertisers The Daily Era will bo issuod on a sheet as large as that of the Daily National Intelligencer, on the 2d day of January, 1854, and daily there- ' after, until the 1st of September, 1854, (or long er, should Congress continue iu session,) at FXVK DOLLARS FOR THAT PKIilOUJ and should the result then warrant, tho publicat:on will be resumed on the 1st of Septembor following, by the year. As but sixteen days intervene between this and tho 2d of January, it is important that subscriptions bo forwarded at once. Payment in advance will be invariably re quired. G. BAILEY. Washington, Decemlter 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 onr cause, and invoking his guidance in. our "endeavors to advance it, we now submit to the candid judgment oi 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 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, 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 pwrfect union, to establish justice, and secure the blessings of liberty, expressly denies to the General Government all power to de prive any |>crson 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 ; 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, lo the persevering anil 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, uo nationalized Slavery, and no national legislation for the extradition of slaves. VI. That Slavery is a sin. against God ami a crime against man, which no human enaetment nor usage can make right; and that Christianity, humanity, and patriotism, nlike demand its abolition. VII. That the fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is repugnant to the Constitution, to thr principles of the common law, to thr spirit of Christianity, and to tlm senti ments of the civili/cd world. We there fore deny its binding force upon the American People, and demand its imim diale 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 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 ami 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 fife 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 ai d maxims of De mocracy, and wholly inadequate to the settlement of thf? 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, ami 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 granted to corporations, but should be held as a sa cred trust Ibr I he 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, ami to pay oil'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 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 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. I 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 wiih that right is a dangerous violation of the law of nations, against which all independ ent Governments should protect, and en deavor by all proper means to prevent; and especially is it the duly of tin; Ameri can Government, representing the chief Republic of the world, to protest against, I and by all proper means to prevent, j the intervention of Kings and Kmperors against nations seeking to establish for themselves republican or constitutional Governments. XVII. That the independence of Hayti j ought to be recognised by our Govcru j incut, and our commercial relations with ii placed on the footing of the most favor ed nations. I XVIII. That as, by the Constitution, I " the citizens of each State shall be en tilled to all privileges and immunities ol citizens of the several States,'' the prac lice of imprisoning colored seaincn ol oilier States, while llie vessels to which lliey 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 I lie citizens of otther Stales, utterly in consistent with the professions made by the slaveholders, that lliey 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 arbitration. XX. That the Free Democratic party is not organized to aid either the Whig or Democratic wing of the great Slave Com promise parly of the nation, but to delist ihern both ; ami 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 il for the,better protection of the rights and interests of the whole people. XXI. That we inscril?e on our banner, Kree Soil, Frep. Speech, Free Labor, and Free Mem, and under it will fight on and fight ever, until a triumphant victory shall reward ofir 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. Hai.e, ol New Hampshire, and as a candidate for the office of Vice President of the United States, George W. Juuan, of Indiana, and earnestly commends them to the sup port of all freemen and parties.
