PROSPECTUS or THE EIGHTH VOLUME OF THE
NATIONAL ERA.

JOHN q. WHITTIER, CORRESPONDING EDITOR.
WASHINGTON, DC.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics
In Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiful
with the True, and to make both Immediately
subseryient to the practical purposes Of every
day life.
Ia Politics, it advocates the Rights of Man,
and the Equality Of Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Scryitude Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legs
lation, the Selfshness Of Capital, the tyranny
of Combination, the Oppression Of Majority,
or the Exactions of Party.
It holds no fellowship with the Whig ana
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled, ana
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love q Lib-
erty natural to the American mind, and to
subiurate the American People to it's rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, it yet sym
pathizcs with those of their adherents who are
honestly seeking through them to advance the
substantial interests Of the country although
it must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
II is q supporter Of tho independent Democ-
raoy which holds that the Truths OF the Dec
laration Of Independence are practical, that IN
their light the Constitution OF the United
States is to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and usagcs 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 Lasc, not for the sake Of Law, but for the
Protection of Human Rights and Interests
the only sure foundation of order and concord.
In no sense is it tho organ Of . Party, or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely 9 free and
independent" claiming to speak by author
ityn for nobody except it's editor, and recogn-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe Its
course and policy
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
have neglected no means that could promise to
make. it an agreeable companion Tor the House
hold. and an efficient co-adjutor to the enlight-
ed Politician. 1t has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal in
the country can surpass the Era NJ it respects
contributors to it's Literary Department.
The Era publishes condensed reports Of the
proceedings Of Congress, explains movements
in that body, tho causes of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from its position is
enabled to keep q constant watch upon the ac-
ton Of the Federal Government in relation
"a all questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery
The only journal at tho seat Of the Federal
Government, representing the Anti-Slavery
Sentiment of the Republic, while the Pro-Sla-
very Sentiment is represented here by four
daily papers nearly all of them being literally
sustained by Governmental patronage, it asks
the support Of all who believe, in sincerity, that
tho Union was formed to secure the blessings
Of Liberty, and not 10 perpetuate tho curse OF
Slavery.
Paymcnt in advance is invariably required.
To prevent annoyance and loss to ourselves

and to enable us to know how large an edi-
