The National Era is weekly newspaper
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiful
with the Trne, and to make both immediately
sul,scrvicnt to tho 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 whether
this be Involuntary Personal Servitnde, Civil
Despotim, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis-
latiou, the Sclfshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
of Combination, the Oppression Of Majority,
or the Exaetions Of Party.
1t holds no fellowship with the Wing and
Democratic organisations, believing that the
main issucs on which they have been arrayed
against each other arc obsolete or settled, and
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
lntcroet Of Slavery, to impair the love Of Lib
orty natural t. the American mind, and Ia
subugatc the American People 10 its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, ID yet sym
pathizes with those Of their adherents who are
honestly seeking through them to advance the
substantial interests Of the country, although
il must believe that they have not chosen the
better way
II is supporter OF Tho Independent Democ-
racy, which holds that tho Truths Of the Dec
laration Of Independence are practical that in
their light tho Constitution Of the United
States is to be interpreted, that TO them tho
laws and institutions and usagcs of the coun-
try should bo conformed--a Party, whose
motto II, Union, not for the sake Of Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom and Progress
and LaW, not for the sake Of Law, but for the
Protection Of Human Rights and Intcrests---
the only sure foundation Of order and concord.
Ia no sense il il tho organ Of a Party, or a
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and

THE DUEL WITH BRoADswoRDs-So much has
been said about this affair, and many contradic-
tory accounts have been published that we in COM
with the rest the press of this city, concluded
the whole matter hoax and 80 pronounced it We
yesterday learned that the report was true, and
ceved from eye witness full particulars concern
ing the affair." The cause OF difficulty between the
parties, Messrs. Ellesler and Dubert, occurred at
Oaklane, on Monday OF last week, and originated
from remarks by Dubert concerning a lady, which
he told by Eilesler not to repeat Dubert doing
90 however, f. spat in bis face when the former re-
marked 'that is sufficient for the present. let's take
drink and tomorrow we will settle this Affair."
They accordingly drank, shook hands, and separa
ted. The next day they met near Oakland, armed
with swords in the use OF which they were both
very expert, and showed, our informant (himself
sn excellent swordsman) says the greatest exhibit
ton of skill and endurance he had ever Witnessed
10 advantage being gained by either for some eight
or ten minutes when Ellesler received severe cut
On the sword. arm. The parties their friends and
the spectators then came together took drink and
the wounded man remarked that as soon as his
wound was healed they would meet and have it
tut" The next thing the spectators and friends
knew was they were again at it, and fierce con-
test ensued resulting after twenty minutes encoun-
ter, in Dubert receiving a stab in the right side
which terminated fatally on the following morning.
He was buried in Contra Costa.--.SdR Franisco
