Daily national era., 1854-01-07
Prospectus or THE DAILY NATIONAL ERA.

shall issue, on the I'd day Of January en-
sung, the DALY NATIONAL Era, Political
and Literary Newspaper.
In Politics, il will advocate the Rights Of
Man, and The Equality OF Rights, and oppose
whatever violates or tends 10 violate them,
whether this be Involuntary Personal Servi-
tude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutsm,
Class Legislation, the Selfishness Of Capital,
the Tyranny Of Combination, the Oppression Of
Majority, or The Exactions Of a 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 are 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 all connection with them, it will yet
sympathize with those of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them to advance
the substantial interests ofthe country, although
il must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
II will be supporter of the Independent
Democracy, which holds that the Truths of the
Declaration of independence are practical; that
in their light the Constitution of the United
States is to be interpreled that to them the laws
and institutions and usages of the country
should be conformed--a Party, whose motto
is, Union, not for the sake OF Union, but for the
sake Of Freedom and Progress and Lac, not
for the sake OF Law. but for the Protection Of
Human Rights and lnterests-the only sure
foundation Of order and concord.
In no sense will il be the organ of Party, or
a mere Party Paper, but absolutely "iree and
| independent" claiming to speak by ''authori-
| ty" for nobody except its editor, and recognis-
ing no authority in any quarter TO prescribe its
course and policy.
| In Literature, it will aim TO unite the Beau
tiful with the True, and 10 make both immedi-
ately subservient TO the practical purposes ol
everyday life.
Able correspondents. at home and abroad,
have been secured, and ample provision has
been made for its Literary Miscellany.
II 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 its position be
able to keep constant watch upon the action
of the Federal Government in relation to al
questions at issue between Liberty and Slavery
