expected to drink tea together on social equali-
~, it was with the understanding, on our part,
OF condescension. In that place, and ct that
time, there were supposed 10 be no distinctions
In society. Indeed, the hired man or woman
was regarded with more Difference than the
members of the family, and extra-nice dinners
and suppers were served at such times as the
farmers and their wives required assistance );
for, till Mr. Richards came among us, we never
heard of seruaats. But our provincial habits
were novel to him, who had been born and
bred under the influence of the most aristo-
cratic portions of our country, though he made
at first vigorous efforts at assimilation, and
with most of his neighbors the seeming damoc-
racy was genuine. So, that we should be in
vited to pass the evening as we were, was quite
natural under the circumstances.

DAILY PAPER AT WASHINGTON.

DR.. Bailey announces, to-day, the cessation
of the Daily Era. This, of course, was to be
expected, as, at the commencement, the publ
cation of the Daily was only intended to be
continued during the session.
The Daily has fallen far short of defraying
its own expenses-much farther short of it in
deed, than was snticipated-and its publica-
ton will not probably be resumed next winter,
unless there be manifested will to support it.
The question, then, is, Shall there be daily
paper, devoted to the Liberal Cause in Wash
ington? There are four political dailies, all of
which derive more or less means of support
from the Government All of them are Pro-
Slavcry-three of them, intensely Pro-Slavery.
Whatever else they may be, they are the or
gans of the Slave Power. That aristocratic
power has thus four daily papers devoted to its
interests in Washington. Shall not the Peo-
ple-the working masses, the independent
thinkers and voters among the professional
and business men-have one?
The popular movement now organizing itself
over the country for practical resistance to the
usurpations and sggressions IF the Slave Power,
and for the restriction Of Slavery to State Inn
its and State legislation, and its final eradica-
ton by the constitutional action of the Federal
and State Governments within their respective
spheres, must have daily paper at Washing
ton, or it cannot have the efficiency it should.
We throw out these hints for the considera-
ton Of the liberal press and the friends of Free
dom everywhere, and hope that such an inter
est will be awakened and manifested that DR..
Bailey may be induced to resume the Daily at
the next session.

CLOSE o. rHE DAILY NATIONAL ERA.


Supposing Congress would continue In ses-
sion till the first of September, we announced
in our Prospectus that the Daily Era would
be continued till that time, or longer, should
the session be protracted beyond it. Our wise
Legislators have done better than we expected;
and, as they, in effect, adjourned yesterday we
adjourn to-day. With this number closes the
Daily Nosional Era. The names of subscri-
bers will be transferred to the list OF the
Weekly Era, which they will receive till the
first of December next, and which will be
more than an equivalent for the fraction due
them for the numbers of the Daily they would
have been entitled to, had it been continued
till the first of September.
We need hardly say that the undertaking
has been costly one, involving as In pecu-
mary loss of between four and Eve thousand
dollars. But we fully couated the cost before
we commenced, and have no disposition now
to complain. Under the same circumstances,
and with the means, we should do the same
thing again. Indeed, SO deeply are we i'm
pressed with the importance of having Daily
Press here, at the seat of Government, to vim
dictate the claims and protect the interests of
Freedom, that, were we q millionaire, we
would establish permanently and maintain at
our expense, such Press making it complete
in oil its departments and appointments In
our Judgment it would be greater, and more
benefcent work, than to found a dozen col
leges, rivalling Yale or Harvard in reputation
and influence.
Meantime, we shall, henceforth, devote our
selves more assiduously to the Weekly Nation
al Era, hoping, by the increase of its subscrip-
ton list, to repair in time the losses sustained
from, tho Daily

RENEWALS AND NEW sUBscRRuo1S.-
REsPoNDsf

/
The time has come when We must call upon
subscribers whose terms have expired and are
| about expiring, to renew; and, while doing so,
to send new names with their own. The first
half of the present volume Of the Era closed
with the month of June. We have sent out a
special request to our voluntary agents, to
/ join In determined and vigorous effort to en-
large our list. The time is suspicious People
are aroused on the subject Of Slavery, and
need information. Only the first great tri-
umph of the Slave Power has been won. Fur
ther and more dangerous sggressions are medi-
tated. The Anti-Slayery sentiment OF the
country needs organization. To promote the
great cause of Union for the sake Of Freedom,
the most active efforts ought now to be made,
to increase the circulation OF newspapers OPP
posed to Slavery.
Tie Era needs special movement in IFS
favor. Some of its best agents during the Lest
twelve months have diverted their labors to the
establishment of local Anti-SIavery papers.
We do not complain of this, but could they
not now spare few weeks to the Era which
has no local support, and must depend alone
upon the general interest felt in the Wig orous
maintenance of such a paper at the seat of
Government? In brief terms, let us say that,
should they succeed in adding to our Weekly
list six thousand subscribers, il would not re-
pay the loss we have sustained in under taking
to carry on a Daily Era, although it would
enable US to relieve ourselves from the embar-
easements in which that has involved US.
Let every agent use his best exertions for
the paper. Let every subscriber whose time is
about to expire, renew promptly, and send us
at least one new name We reprint our
Terms, and shall keep them standing, as
guide to the efforts of our friends:
