WASHINGTON, ID. 9.
PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY NATIONAL ERA

/ shall issue, on the Cd day Of January en-
SUNG, the DAILY NATIONAL ERA, a Political
and Literary Newspaper.
In Politics, il will advocate the Rights Of
Man, and the Equality Of Rights, and oppose
whatever violates or tends 10 violate them,
whether this be Involuntary Personal Servl
tude, Civil Despotsm, Spiritual Absolutism,
Class Legislation, the Sel6shness Of Capital,
the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression Of
a Majority, or the Exactions OF q Party.
II will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organizations, believing that
the main issues on which they have been ar
rayed against each other are obsolete or settled,
and that they are now chiefly used by the Sec
tional Interest oi Slavery, 70 impair the love oi
Liberty natural 10 the American mind, and 70
subjugate the American People to its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, It will YET
sympathize with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them to advance
the substantial interests the country, although
it must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
II will be supporter Of the Independent
Democracy, which holds that the Truths of the
Declaration 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 usages OF the country
should be conformed--a Party, whose motto
is, Union, not for the sake OF Union, but for the
sake OF Freedom and Progress; and LGtc, not
for the sake Of Law. but for the Protection Of
Human Rights and lnterests--the only sure
foundation Of order and concord.
In no sense will il be the organ OF a Party, or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely !" free and
independent claiming to speak by g authori-
typ for nobody except IFS editor, and recognis-
ing no authority in any quarter to prescribe It's
course and policy.
In Literature, it will aim to unite the Beau
tiful with the True, and to make both immedi-
ately subservient to the practical purposes oi
everyday life.
Able correspondents. at home and abroad
have been secured and ample provision has
been made for its Literary Miscellany.
II will publish condensed reports OF the pro-
ceedings of Congress, explain movements IN
that body, the causes of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from IFS position be
able 10 keep constant watch upon the action
of the Federal Government in relation 10 all
questions at issue between Liberty and Slavery
