NATIONAL ERA.

$50 WASHINGTON, D. 9.
Tho National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
IN Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiful
with tho True, and to make both Immediately
subscrvient to the practical purposes OF every
day life
Ia Politics it advocates the Rights Of Man,
and the Equality of Rights and opposes what
over violates or tends to violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Scrvitude Civil
Dcspotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis
lation. The Sciishncss Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination the Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exncti0ns Of Party.
IL holds no fellowship with the Whig and
Democratic organizations, believing that She
main issues on which they have boen arrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled ana
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair tho love OF LID
erty natural to the American mind, and 20
subiugatc the American People to it's rule Dls-
claiming all connection with them it yet SYM
pathfxes with those Of their adheronts 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.
Il is d supporter of the Independent Dcmoc-
racy which holds that tho Truths OF the Dec
laration Of Independence are practieal that in
their light the Constitution OF the United
States Is to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions aud usages Of the ooun-
try should be conformed--a Party, whose
motto ID. Union, not for the sake of Union,
but for the sake OF Freedom and Progress;
and Lato, 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 is it tho organ Of Party, or
mcrc Party Paper but absolutely " free and
independent claiming to speak by author
ityn' for nobody except its editor, and recogni-
ring no authority in any quarter to prescribe it's
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume Of the Era will COM
mencc on the frat 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. 1t 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-
tion of the Federal Government in relation
"a all questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery
The only journal at the scat of the Federal
Government representing the Anti-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 U,sion was formed to secure the blessings
OF Liberty, and not to perpetuate tho curse Of
Slavery.
