WASHINGTON, DC.
The Naiioaal Erg il . weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it aims to unite the Bcanlini
with the True and to make both immediately
snbservcnt to tho practical purposes Of every
day Life. ~.
Ia Politics, il advocates tho Rights Of Man,
and the Equality Of Rights and opposes what
over violates or tends to violate them, wncsner
this be Involuntary Personal Servltude, Ciwi
Dcspotism, Spiritual Absolutiam, CiasS legs
lation, the Seifshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination, 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 othor are obsolete or settled, ana
that they are now chiefly usod by tho Sectlonai
Interest of Slavery to impair tho love OF LAD
erty natural to the American mind, and to
subiugate the American People to it's rule. Dis-
claiming all connection with them, 1t yet sym
pathizes with those Of their adhcrcnts who are
honestly seeking through them to advance tnc
substantial interests of the country, although
it must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
It is q supporter of the Independent Democ-
racy. which holds that the Truths OF the Dec
laraton Of Independence are prGeticGi, 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 coun.
try should be conformed-a Party, whose
motto ia Union, not for the sake Of Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom and Progress );
and Latc, 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 a Party, or a
mere Party Paper, put absolutely free and
independent" claiming to speak by author
ityr for nobody except it's editor, and recogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe its
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume Of the Era will COM
monce 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 enhght
ed Politician. IL has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal In
the country can surpass the Era as it respects
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 nc
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-Slayery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pro-Sia-
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
the Union was formed to secure the blessings
OF Liberty, and not to pcrpetuate the curse Of
Slavery.
