WASHINGTON, D.C.
Tho National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics
In Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiful
with tho True, and to make both immediately
subservient to the practical purposes OF every
day life
In Politics, it advocates the Rights OF Man,
and tho Equality of Rights and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil
Dospotism Spiritual Absolutism, Glass Legls
lation, the Sel6shness of Capital, tho tyranny
or Combination, the Oppression Of Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
It holds no fellowship with the Wing ana
Democratic organizations, believing that tne
main issues on which they have been arrayeo
against each other are obsolete or settled, ana
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectionai
Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love OF Lap
orty natural to the American mind, ana 20
subiugate the American People to its rule DIS
claiming all connection with Them it yet SYM
pathixcs 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.

racy which holds that the Truths OF the Dec

their light the Constitution OF tine United
States is TO be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and usages OF the coun-

motto is. Union, not for the sake OF Union,
hut for the sake of Freedom and Progress ;
and Lav. 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 q
mere Party Paper but absolutely free and
independent,n claiming to speak "by author
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe its
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
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-
cd Politician. IL has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal In
the country can surpass the Era as it respects
contributors to it's Literary Department
The Era publishes condemned reports OF the
proceedings of Congress, explains movements
