Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-01-20
WASHINGTON, ID. Q.
PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY NATIONAL ERA.


/ shall issue, on the I'd day Of January en-
SUNG, the DAILY NATIONAL EaA, 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 Seryi-
tude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism,
Class Legislation, the Selishness OF Capital,
the Tyranny Of Combination, the Oppression Of
a Majority, or the Exactions Of a Party.
1t 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, 10 impair the love OF
Liberty natural to the American mind, and 10
subiugate the American People 10 its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, II will yet
sympathize with those OF their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them 10 advance
the substantial interests ofthe country, although
il must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
It will be supporter Of the Independent
Democracy, which holds that the Truths OF the
Declaration of Independence are practical: tha,
in their light the Constitution OF the United
States is to be interpreted; that to them the laws
anu lnStllullOlS utlu uSd2SS vi tii1 Souhpy
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 Pr0tection OF
Human Rights and Interests--the only sure
foundation Of order and concord
In no sense will il be the organ OF Party, or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely "free and
independent" claiming to speak by g anthori
ty" for nobody except lis editor, and recognls-
ing no authority in any quarter to prescribe IT'S
course and policy.
Ia Literature, il will aim to unite the Beau
tiful with the True, and to make both immedi
ately subservient to the practical purposes OF
everyday life.
Able correspondents. at home and abroad,
have been secured, and ample provision has
been made for its Literary Miscellany
1t will publis,nGandensed reports OF the pro
ceedings Of Coeaa Ss, explain movements IN
that body, the -gsSSes 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 all
questions at issue between Liberty aud Slavery.
The extensive subscription Of the Weekly
Era, which, during the year about toclose, has
reached the number Of twenty y-eight thousand,
must make il an eligible medium for advertisers.
The Dailu Era will be issued on sheet as
large as that Of the Daily National Hteuigencer,
on the I'd day Of January, 1854, and daily there
after, until the Isl Of September, 1854, Cor long
or, should Congress continue in SESSION. AT
FIVE DOLLARS FOR THAT PERIOD; and should
the result then WARRANT, the publication will be
resumed ON the lst Of December following. By
the year.
As but sixteen days intervene between this
and the Cd of January, il is important that
subscriptions be forwarded at once.
Payment IN adpsncs ,ciH be invariably re-
ouired G.. BAILEY.
