WASHINGTON, DC.
The National Era is . weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, il aims to unite the Beautiful
with the True, and to make both immediately
snbsorvient to the practical purposes OF every
day life.
and the Equality Of Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this bc Involuntary Personal Servitude, civil
Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Leg's'
lation, the Selfshness Of Capital, the tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exaotions of Party.
Il holds no fellowship with the Wing and
Democratic organizations, believing tnnt tne
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled, ana
that they are now chiefly used by tho Sectional
Interest of Slavery to impair tho love OF LiD-
erty natural to the American mind, and to
subjugate the American People to Its rule. DIS
claiming all connection with them it yet sym
pathizcs with those of their adhcrcnts who are
honestly seeking through them to advance the
substantial interests Of the country, although
it must believe that they have not chosen the
bettcr way.
Il is a supporter of the Independent Democ-
racy. which holds that the Truths OF tho Dec
laration Of Independence are PrdctscaL 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 coun.
trv should be conformed--a Party, whose
motto ia Union, not for the sake OF Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom and Progress J;
and LoaD. 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 ia it tho organ of a Party, or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and
independent claiming to speak by author
ityn for nobody except it's editor, and recogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe it's
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. It has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal in
the country can surpass the Era as 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 tho surface, and from its position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the ac-
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 oil 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.
