PROsPEcrUs or THE EIGHrH VOLUME OF TH
NATIONAL ERA

IoHN a WHITTIER CORRESPONDING EDITOR.
WASHINGTON, DC.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics
In Literature, it aims to unite tho Beautiful
with the True, and to mako both Immediately
subseryient to the practical purposes OF every
day life.
In 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 Servitude,. Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Clnss Legls-
lation the Selfshness OF Capital the Tyranny
of Continuation, the Oppression of . Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
Il holds no fellowship with the Whig and
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled, and
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair tho love OF Llb-
erty natural to the American mind, and TO
subiugate the American People to its rule. Dis-
claiming all connection with them, it yet SYM
pathizes with those Of their adhcrents who are
honestly seeking through thcm to advance the
substantial interests Of the country, although
it must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.

motto ia. Union, not for the sake of Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom and Progress;
and Lasr, not for the sake of Law, but for the
Protection Of Human Rights and interests

In no sense is it the organ Of Party, or q

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-
ed Politician. 1t has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal in
the country can surpass the Era ns 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 &C.
ton of the Federal Government in relation
to all questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery
The only journal at the seat of the Federal
Government, representing the Anti-Slavery
Sentiment of the Republic, while the Pro- Sla-
very Sentiment is represented here by four
daily papers, nearly all of them being literally
sustained by Governmental patronage, it asks
the support of all who believe, in sincerity, that
