PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY NATIONAL ERA


| shall issue, on the I'd day of January on,
suing, the DAILY NATIONAL ERA, Poitlcai
and Literary Newspaper.
In Politics, il will advocate the Rights OF
Man, and the Equality Of Rights, and oppose
whatever violates or tends TO violate them,
whether this be Involuntary Personal Servi
tude Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism,
Class Legislation, the Sel6shness of Capital
the Tyranny Of Combination, the Oppression OF
q Majority, or the Exactions Of q Party.
II will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organizations, believing that
the main iesues 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 Of Slavery, TO impair the love Of
Liberty natural to the American mind, and TO
snbiucate the American People to its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, il will yet
svmpathise with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them 70 advance
the substantial interests Of the country, although
il must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
II will be q supporter Of the Independent
Democracy, which holds that tho Truths OF the
Declaration nofIndependence Of are practical that
in their light the Constitution Of the United
States is 70 be interpreted; that 10 them the
laws and institutions and usages OF the country
,should be oonformcd--a Party, whose motto
ia Union. not for the sake Of Union, but for the
sake of Freedom and Progress; and Laac, moi
Ior the sake Of Law, but for the protection o.
