WASHINGTON, d. 9.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted TO Literature and P0litics.
In Literature, it inns to unite the Beautiful
with the True and to make both Immediately
snbservient to tho practical purposes Of every
dny 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 Scrvitude, Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Logis-
lotion, the Selfshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exacti0ns of Party.
II holds no fellowship with the Wing and
Democratic organisations believing that the
main issues on which they have boon arrayed
apainat each othor are obsolete or settled, and
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair thc love OF Lab
erty natural to the American mind, and TO
subiugate the American People to its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, II yet sym
pathixes 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.

ed Politician. II has secured able correspond
cnts at homo and abroad, and no journal IN
the country can surpass the Era as it respects
contributors to it's Literary Department..
The Era publishes condensed reports of the
proceedings of Congress, explains movements
IA that body, the causes Of which do not always
lie upon tho surface, and from its position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the nc-
tion Of the Federal Government in relation
to all questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery.
The only journal at the scat of the Federal
Government representing tho Antl-Slavery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pro Sla-
yery Sentiment is represented here by four
daily papcrs nearly all of them being literally
sustained by Governmental patronage it asks
the support of all who believe, in sincerity that
the Union was formed to secure the blessings
of Liberty, and not to perpctuate tho curse OF
Slavery.
