WASHINGTON, d. e.
PROSPECTUS OF THE EIGHTH VOLUME OF TIL
NATIONAL ERA.


WASHINGTON, D. G.
The National Era il a weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiful
with the T'rue, and to make both immediately
mbservient to tho practical purposes OF every
day life.
In Politics, il 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
Dcspotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis-
lation, the Selfishness Of Capital, the tyranny
OF Combinations the Oppression of Majority,
or the Exaotions Of Party.
II holds no Fellowship with the Wing and
Democratic orgahiSations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled, and
that they nre now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest of Slavery, to impair the love OF LID
erty natural to the American mind, and 20
subjugate the American People to It's rule. DIS
claiming all connection with them, it yet sym
pathizes with those of their adhcrents 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 ID a supporter of the independent Democ-
racy. which holds that the Truths Of the Dec
laration Of independence are pracficaL, that IN
their light the Constitution OF the United
States Is to be interpreted that to them the
laws and institutions and usagcs of the coun-
try should be conformed--a Party, whose
motto is, 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 Interests
the only sure foundation Of order and concord
In no sense is it the organ of Party, or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and
INDEPENDENT claiming to speak by author
ityr for nobody except its editor, and recogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe it's
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume Of the Era will COM
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 it an agreeable companion for the House

The Era publishss condensed reports Of the
proceedings of Congress, explains movements
in that body, the causes Of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from its position is
enabled TO keep constant watch upon the &C.
ton of the Federal Government in relation
to all questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery
The only journal at the scat Of the Federal
Government, representing the Anti-Slavery
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 Union was formed to secure the blessings
Of Liberty, and not to perpetuate the curse Of
Slavery.
