WASHINGTON, D. G.

The National Era is q weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiful
with the True, and to make both Immediately
subservient to the practical purposes Of every
day life.
In 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 Servitude, Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Glass Legis,
lation, the Selfshness of Capital, the Tyranny
of Combination, the Oppression Of a Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
IL holds no fellowship with the Wing and
Democratic organisations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled, and
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest of Slavery, to impair the love Of Lib
erty natural to the American mind, and to
subjugate the American People to its rule Dis
claiming all connection with them, il yet sym
pathizes with those OF their adherents 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 ia supporter Of the Independent Democ-
raoy which holds that the Truths Of the Dec.
laration Of Independence are practical that in
their light the Constitution Of the United
States is to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and ussges Of the coun
try should be conformed-a Party, whose
motto ia, Union, not for the sake Of Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom and Progress !;
and La,o, 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 the organ Of Party, or a
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and
independent claiming to spoak by author
ityr for nobody except its editor, and rccogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe it's
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume Of the Era will CON-
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 il an agreeable companion for the House
