WASHINGTON, D. G.
Tho 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
subservent to tho 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
Despotisnl, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis
lation, the Seifshncss Of Capital, tho Tyranny
OF Combination, the Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
II holds no fellowship with the Whig and
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they havo been arrayed
against each other arc obsolete OF settled, ana
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest of Slavery TO impair the love Of Lib
erty natural to tho American mind, and to
subiugatc the American People to its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them it yet sym
pathizes 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 10 o supporter Of the Independent Demoe-
raoy which holds that tho Truths OF the Dec
laration Of Independence ore practical that IN
their light the Consultation OF the United
States is to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and usages OF the conn
try should bc c0nformed-a Party, whose
motto is, Union, not for the sake Of Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom and Progress
and Law, not for the sake Of Law, but for the
Protection Of Human Rights and Interests
the only sure foundation Of 0rdor and concord.

mere Party Paper, but absolutely " free and
independent" claiming to speak by author

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

the country can surpass the Era as it respects
contributors to it's Literary Department
The Era publishes condensed reports OF tho
proceedings of Congress- explains movements
in that body, the causes Of which do not always
lio upon the surface, and from its position ia
enabled 10 keep constant watch upon the ac-
tion of the Federal Government. in relation
to oil questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery.
The only journal at the scat Of the Federal
Government representing the Ant-Slayery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pro-Sla-
very Sentiment is represented here by four
daily papers, nearly ali 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
