WASHINGTON, D. 9.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiful
with the True and to make both Immediately
subseryicnt to the practical purposes OF every
day life.
Ia Politics, it advocates the Rights OF Man,
and the Equality Of Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whesner
this be Involuntary Personal Servitude Civii
Despotism, Spiritual AbsoIutisn, Class Legs
lation. the Selishness Of Capital, the tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exactions of Party.
It holds no fellowship with the Wing ana
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled ana
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, TO impair the love OF LID
erty natural to the American mind, ana 20
subiupatc the American People to ito rule Dis-
claiming all connection with them it yet SYM
pathizes with those Of their adhcrents who are
honestly seeking through them to advance the
substantial interests Of the country, although
It must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
II is q supporter Of the Independent Democ-
racy, which holds that tho Truths OF the Dec
laration Of Independence are Prdctacdl that ~
their light the Constitution OF the United
States is to be interpreted, that 20 them the
laws and Institutions and usages OF the conn-
try should DO conformed--a Party, whose
motto is Union, not for the sake 0f Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom and Progress
and Laao, not for the sake Of Law, but for thu
Protection of Human Rights and interests
the onlv sure foundation Of order and concord.
In no sense is.it the organ Of a Party or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and
independents claiming to speak by author
ity'' for nobody except its 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 tho 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 Il 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 the surface, and from its position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the ac-
tion Of the Federal Government in relation
to all questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery.
The only journal at the scat Of the Federal
Government, representing the Antl-Slayery
Sentiment Of the Republic while the Pro Sla-
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 perpetuate the curse or
Slavery.
