promulgation ofthe principles that distinguish
the present VEig party of our country.
TlIe fearful strides made, and attempted to
be made by the present National Akminstra-
ton, towards strong Central Government at
Washington, admonishes every true lover of
his country, of the danger TO be apprehend-
ed in the reelection of Martin Van Buren, to
the presidency, and of the necessity of cores
ponding exertion to recover and sustain tho
purity of our American Institutions

THE EMPIRE sTATE.

Weekly Newspaper of the largest size,
IA published in New York, edited by j. K.
Moore and X. Jarvis.
(tFThis paper, which enjoys very larg-
circulation, commends itselfto general patron
age, by the extent ofits ample pages, its taste
full arrangement, and beauty OF mechanical
execution as well as by the spirit, variety, and
ability of its contents. The novelty OF the
arrangement of its columns, under the en-
blems of the several States, most beautifully
executed, has attracted almost universal atten-
tion, and drawn forth the warmest commen-
dation from the press, and the reading public.
The plan, also, of combining sound political
discussions with literary and miscellaneous
reading, is also generally approved; as no one,
in times like the present, eau be supposed to
be indifferent to public affairs. A brief out
line OF the plan adopted is here given.
Poitics.--The 9 Empire State,' like the
noble Commonwealth from which it takes its
title, will give its earnes: support to sound
Democratic Wing Principles, as the only Sc
cure basis of National Freedom and Prosperi-
ity. 1t will give warm support to the Pa
triot Farmer and Statesman, Gen. HARRI-
SON, for the Presidency. The aid of expo
rienced and veteran writer's has been secured
the most ample correspondence established
--and every arrangemement made, whereby, a
journal worthy OF the spirit and taste of the
age, and combining the advantages both ofthe
best political and neutral papers, can be pro-
duced. In addition to full and vigorous cdito-
rial discussions and correspondence, the best
Speeches of our most distinguished public
men, on the great questions of the day, will,
from time to time be given.
Luerature.--In each number of the paper
will be presented an amount and variety of or
iginal tales, popular essays, poetry. biography.
historical novelties, anecdotes, anf general
miscellany, equal 20 that of any OTTER pc per.
The best articles contained in the English Pc
riodicais. and extracts from new works OF ner-
it, which appear from week to week, will also
be presented.
.Neos.--!n this department the Empire
State is without rival. No paper publish
ed in the country devotes so large space to
the concerns of the States, or presents ut
earlier date. more accurate, full and interest
ing details of News, ForAgn and Domestic.
Congressional Debates will form distinct fea-
ture in this paper.
The design oc the publishers is to present
a valuable political journal, devoted to sound
principles, and at the same time to furnish a
variety of literary, miscellaneous and amusing
matter, as shall render the : Empire State not
only useful and welcome vstant in every
subscriber to the paper the double advantage
of possessing in one. all the attractions fur
hished both by political and by neutral papers.
0FSpecimen numbers will be sent where
ever desired. Letters must be post paid, in
order to secure attention.
Terms--Three Dollars per anpum, or Five
Dollars for two acopies--in all cases in ad-
vance.

point out its various applications to the i'm

customs ofsociety.
