THURSDAY, APRIL Ia, 1853.
TO OUR sUBSCRIBERs.

We have been repeatedly solicited to issue
monthly, for gratuitous distribution by clubs
and individuals interested in the spread of Free
Democratic Principles. The time has come for
undertaking such work. five intend to OBJ
tain the control of the Government we must
get the people on our side; but we cannot do
this without convincing them that we are right
What they need is, Light, and thiswe intend
to give in our FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE. 1t will
not be newspaper, or take the place OF any
Free Soil newspaper; it will not be furnished
even to single subscribers. The object Is two
fold-to supply a document monthly, full OF
facts and arguments, suitable for reference, and
calculated to make converts to the cause OF
Free Democracy. And, as we consider the
support of the State or local Anti-Slavery
papers vital, we shall keep standing, in each
number, their titles, places of publication,
terms, &C., so that new adhcrents to the Party
may know where to supply themselves regular
ly with newspapers of kindred principles.
Every individual has his field of labor--every
club has its town, district, or county. They
will be glad to secure a document, every month,
TO circulate among those disposed to inquire
into the principles and policy of the Free DEM
ocratic movement We ask their aid in obtain
ing hundred thousand readers for the " Facts
for The People,"
PROSPECTUS OF FACTS FOR THE PEOPLE.
On the LIST of June next VIC shall commence
the publication of FAcTs FOR THE PEOPLE,
monthly designed for preservation as a docu-
ment for reference, or for general circulation,
as Free Democratic missionary especially
among those not yet familiar with the Anti
Slavery movement 1t will be composed chiefly
of articles from the National Era, adapted par
ticuarly to the purpose named
Each number will contain eight pages and
DO printed on good paper, of the size Of the
Congressional Globe in quarto form, suitable
or binding.
1t will be furnished at the following rates, by
he year, twelve numbers constituting q vol
me:
6 copies for SlO0
30 copies for 800
100 copies for 1900
Any person or club may, in this way, by
aising sl2, supply Anti-Slavery reading every
month"; for whole year, to one hundred read
rs.
All payments must be in advance.
AS we wish to begin on the first of June
ext, and be able to supply the demand for the
rst number, orders should be sent in immedi-
tely. G. BAILEY.

P. S. Editors of newspapers favorable to the
regoing, will entitle themselves to six copies
the monthly, by publishing the Prospectus,

THE NATIONAL ERA WASHINGTON D. c., APRIL IA, 1853

! for the publication Of the debates in the Ma
tional Era On this amendment he made an
effort to secure the yeas and nays and had Mr..
Seward acted with him, he would have sue
ceeded in obtaining such record but he de-
clined. Mr. C. then, as he had right to do, de-
manded division he and Mr.. Sumner voted
for the amendment, and the Chair would have
been glad TO announce the amendment as lost,
but Mr.. c. demanded that those opposed should
be counted. He was appealed to to withdraw the
demand; but he is not a man to be moved
from his purpose. Justice to the people, the
duty of defeating a profigate expenditure of
the public money, and proper respect for the
Party and Principles represented by the Ma
tional Era, required that he should neglect no
fair means of withstanding an overbearing ma
jority. 1t would have been cowardly to shrink,
and he persisted in his demand. The result
was, no quorum voted, the resolution and
amendment went over, and the Senate ad-
journed.
We do not desire any favor from the Senate.
The movement of Mr.. Chase was upon his own
responsibility, and was not undertaken at our
instance. He asks nothing for the National
ErG--hc is opposed to the whole system of pen
sonng presses at the seat of Government; but,
while he is determined to put it down, if pos
sible, he is also determined that the National
Era, the representative and advocate of the
principles of Free Democracy, shall not be
overlooked or ignored in the Senate.
We repeat, We do not desire or need any
kind Of Governmental patronage, nor would
we accept of it except as a fair equivalent for
business services, such as we would accept
from subscribers or advertisers; but We do not.
like to see Representatives and Senators, claim
ing to be Anti-Slavery, ashamed or afraid to
recognise the equality of the only Ant-Slavery
paper at the seat of Government in position
and rights, with its Pro-Slavery neghbors.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

The news by the latest arrivals from Eu.
rope is not very important. BY one, intelli'
gence was brought that there was something
critical in the affairs of Turkey-that the Sui
tan haughtily rejected the demands Of Russia
that England and France were prepared to
sustain him, and a general war might result;
but the next arrival announced the amcsbe
settlement of all disputes, the whole difficulty |
having been arranged in manner satisfactory
TO all parties.
MIR. Ewart, a member of Parliament had
published a letter from the French Minister OF
Marine, denying that there had been any in
crease in the war armament of France, and
avowing the most friendly disposition towards
England. The idea of an invasion of England
by Napoleon could hardly be entertained by
any but crazy man.
Great preparations were on foot for the re
ception of Mrs. Stowe and an address, with
signatures occupying 26 folios, was on public
exhibition at London.
The English are unpopular at Vienna on
account of their liberal opinions, and the hcspi-
tality extended by them to foreign refugees.
Austria has revised her passport laws, and
made them more rigorous than ever upon Eng
lish travellers 1t is honorable to England to be
thus watched, distrusted and hated by des
potism.
Mr.. Rives, our Minister at Paris, will return
home, it is said, in May.
Santa Anna has been elected President of
Mexico by the votes of eighteen States against
those of five. On the 9th ult he was on
board the British steamship Avon, at Havana,
on his return. The people of Mexico were
preparing to receive him with due honor San.
ia Anna is filled with an implacable hate Of this
country, and appears to think that tho chief
danger to the nationality of Mexico lies in the
aggressive spirit of our Government. His tor
egn policy will probably be controlled BY TINS
idea, and there are rumors that he Will seek
the protection of European alliance, even II
it involve the loss of independence. The ha-
vana Diairo says
"The question of race, the Spanish race, IN
oil its magnitude, rules in the mind Of me Ju'
ture Governor, and impresses HIM ic'fh me nc
eessrty of system analogous TO the tone 81 o"'
own ideas in recognizing the State"
The Maine Liquor Law seems rather 20 DC
carrying the day, except in its birthplace, rory
land. where Neal Dow, its father, was Largely
defeated for Mayor. The returns from RHODE
Island show that it is to stand there; and the
principle, il is said, has carried the Connect
cut Lower House. The Pennsylvania Senate
| has passed resolution submitting the law 10
the people at the next election. In the Legs

The LOFTY AND THE LowLY.n-A cor.
respondent says of the book, that it eyinces
more talent than has been common to its
class-has considerable power in its plot and
contains respectable share of good writing
and had the author kept off the enchanted
ground, his book would have been very fair
one." He proceeds however, to criticize the
book with much severity. He will please ex
cuse us if we omit this portion of his remarks
Mrs Mcintosh is rather fayorite of ours,
and we are sure that if she has done injustice
to the North in her book, she did not intend
it. At all events we do not think the North,
or its free institutions likely to suffer at her
hands.

STATISTICS OF AN EDITORS TABLE.

We now have on hand the following commu-
nicatons for the Era:
Poems-ll0; one of II pages another of %
pages, another Of 80 pages, the rest of all sorts
and sizes Many are excellent some indiffer-
ent many not yet read.
Sketches and Tales-ls comprising in the
aggregate, 179 foolscap pages, not including
the story of Mrs Southworth, now in course of
publication.
Anti-Slauery Commun'eations-44, compris-
ing in the aggregate, 1874 ioolscap pages,
1t is really laborious business to examine
all this manuscript, great deal Of it not re-
I markable for the brightness of its ink or the
distinctness Of its chirography, and our CORES
pondents will therefore see the necessity of cx
ercising a little patience.
In the foregoing tables we do not include
the letters of Grace Greenwood the occasiona
communications from our California CORES
pondents, the letters lately provided for from
an accomplished correspondent in the West In
dies, and those which we expect from Mrs
Stowe should she find leisure to write us from
England.
Notwithstanding We are 50 amply supplied
scarcely week passes in which we do not re-
ccive one or more proposals for new contribu
tons, in prose and poetry, to be furnished or
reasonable terms.
1t is a happy circumstance that nobody
vanity can suffer from the non-appearance o
his communication in the Era, or from oul
declining new engagements; for, in the alb
sence of any other reason, he may find q suffi
cient one in our editorial statistics

the foregoing was written.

EDUCATION OF IDIors-The education Of
idiots is one of the most signal achievements
of the humanity of tho nineteenth century
The small size and peculiar conformation Of
their brain necessarily limit their intellectual
and moral development, but experience shows
that they may be reclaimed from brutishness
and trained to habits of cleanliness, selfpreser
walton, and industry.
We have just read with much interest ar
appeal put forth by Bishop Potter, Professor
Cleveland, and others, Of Philadelphia, fo

provision shall be made for the children of tn
