Tho National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics
In Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiful
with tho True, and to mako both Immediately
subscrviont to the practical purposes OF every
day life
IA Politics, il advocatcs the Rights Of Man,
and the Equality Of Rights and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Scryitudc civil
Dcspotism, Spiritual Absolutisnl, Class Lcgls
lation, the Sefshness Of Capital, the tyranny
Of Combination the Oppression Of Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
Il holds no fellowship with the Wing ana
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arraJed
against each other are obsolete or settled aDd
chat they are now chiefly used by the Secsionai
Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love OF Lin-
erty natural to the American mind, ana 70
subjugnte the American People TO its rule Dis-
claiming all connection with them il yet sym
natI,;xes with those of their adhcrcnts who arc
honestly seeking through them to advance the
substantial interests Of tho country, although
il must believe thnt they have not chosen the
better way. ,.
Il il q supporter Of tho Independent DcmOc-
racv. which holds that tho Truths OF the Dec
laration of Independence are PrdctscGt that IN
their LIGHT the Constitution of the United
States Is to be interpreted, that TO them the
laws and institutions and usagcs OF the c0un-
trv should be conformed--a Party, whose
motto ii Union, not for the sake Of Union,
but for the sake of Freedom and Progress
and Lav not for the sake of Law, but for the
Protection Of Human Rights and lntereste
the only sure foundation OF order and concord.
Ia no sense is it the organ Of Party, or .
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and
independent claiming to spcak BY author
ityr for nobody except it's editor, and recogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe It's
course and policy.
The Eichth Volume of the Era will COM
nence 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 il an agreeable companion for the House
hold. and an Efficient co-adjutor to the enlight-
ed Politician. It has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal IN
the country can surpass the Era az it respects
contributors to its Literary Department..
The Era publishes CONDENSED roports OF the
proceedings of Congress, explains movements
IN that body, the causes Of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from it's position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the &C
tion Of the Federal Government in relation
70 all questions ut issuo 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 Dy four
daily papers, nearly all of them being literally
sustained by Governmental patronage, II asks
the support Of all who believe, in sincerity, that
the Union was formed to secure the blessings
of Liberty, and not TO perpetuate the curse OF
Slavery.
