day life.
Ia Politics, II advocates the Rights OF Man,
and tho Equality Of Rights. aud opposes what

this be Involuntary Personal Servitndo Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Ahsolutism, Class Legss
lasioon, the SelAshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression of Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
It holds no Fellowship with the Whix and
Democratic orgdnizafio,s believing that the
main issues on which they have boon arrayod
against each other are obsolete or settled, anc
that they arc now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest of Slavery, to impair the love Of Lid
erty natural to the American mind, ana 70
subiugate the American People to its rule. psa-
claiming all connection with them, 10 yet sym
pathizes with those Of their adherents who arc
honestly seeking through them to advance the
substantial interests Of the country, although
it must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
It ia a supporter of the independent Democ-
racv which holds that tho Truths Of the Dec.
laration of Independence ere 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 conformod--a Party, whose
motto is, Union, not for the sake Of Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom and Progress !;
and LaaD, 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 the organ Of Party or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and
independent claiming to speak by author
ityn for nobody except its editor, and recogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe its
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume of the Era will COM
mencc 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 for the House
hold, and an efficient co-adjutor to the enlight-
ed Politician. II has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal in
the country 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, the causes of which do not always
lie upon the surface and from its position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the ac-
ton 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 the Anti-Slavery
Sentiment of the Republic, while the Pro Sla-
very Sentiment is represented here by tour
daily papers, nearly al of them being Literally
sustained by Governmental patronage, it asks
the support of all who believe, in sincerity, that
the Ui.ion was formed to SECURE the blessings
Of Liberty, and not to perpetuate the curse OF
Slavery.
