PROSPECTUS or TIE DAILY NATIONAL ERA

! shall issue, on the I'd day Of January en-
suing, the DAILY NATIONAL, Era. Il Political
and Literary Newspaper. .sts
In Politics, it will advocate the rights OF
Man, and the Equality Of Rights, and oppose
whatever violates or tends Ia violate them,
whether this be Involuntary Personal Servi-
tude, Civil Dcspotism, Spiritual Absolutisni,
Class Legislation, the Seifshness Of Capital,
the Tyranny Of Combination, the Oppression OF
q Majority, or the Exactions Of Party.
II will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organizations, believing that
the main issues ON which they have been ar
rayed against each other ara obsolete or settled,
and that they are now chiefly used by the Sec
tional Interest of Slavery, TO impair the love of
Liberty natural to the American mind, and to
subjugate the American People to its rule. Dis
claiming oil connection with them, it will yet
sympathize with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them to advance
the snbstantial interests OF the country although
it must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
1t will be . supporter OF the Independent
Democracy, which holds that tho Truths OF the
Declaration OF Independence are practical. J that
in their light the Constitution Of the United
States is to be interpreted; that to them the
laws and institutions and usages Of the country
should be conformed--a Party, whose motto
ia, Union, not for the sake of Union but for the
sake Of Freedom and Progress; and Lar, not
for the sake Of Law, but for tho protection Of
Human Rights and lnterests--the only sure
foundation Of order and concord.
In no sense will it be the organ OF n Party,
or mere Party Paper, but absolutely free
and independent claiming to speak by "au-
thority for nobody except its editor, and rec
ognising no authority in any quarter to pre-
scribe its course and policy.
Y In Literature, it will aim to unite the Beau
tiful with the True and to make both immedi-
ately subseryient to the practical purposes Of
everyday life.
Able correspondents at home and abroad,
have been secured, and ample provision has
been made for it's Literary Miscellany.
IL will publish condensed reports OF the pro.
ceedings Of Congress- explain movements in
that body, the causes Of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from it's position DO
able, to keep o constant watch upon the action
of the Federal Government in relation to all
questions at issue between Liberty and Slavery
The extensive subscription OF the Weekly
Era, which, during the year about to close, has
reached the number Of twenty eight Thousand,
must make it an eligible medium for advertisers
The Daily Era will be issued on sheet as
large as that of the Daily National Intelkgsncsr,
on the I'd day of January, 1854, and daily there
after, until the lst Of September, 1854, Tor long
or, should Congress continue in SESSION. AT
FIVE DOLLARS FOR THAT PERIOD; and should
the result then WARRANT, the publication will
be resumed on the lst of September following,
BY the gear.
As but sixteen days intervene between this
and the I'd Of January, it is important that
subscriptions be forwarded at once.
