NATIONAL ERA.

WASHINGTON, DC.
The National Era is 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.
IA 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 Servitudo, Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legls-
lation, the Selfshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
of Combination, the Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exactions of Party.
It holds no fellowship with the Whig and
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been nrrayed
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 LID
crtv natural to the American mind and TO
subiugate the American People to its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, it yet SYM
pathixos with those of thoir adherents who are
honestly seeking through them to advance the
substantial interests Of tho country, although
It must believe that they have not chosen the
better way
It is a supporter Of the Independent Democ-
racy, which holds that tho Truths OF the Dec
Iaration Of Independence are pra1tscat that m
their light tho Consultation OF tho United
States is to be interpreted, that TO them tue
laws and institutions and usages OF the conn-
try should be conformed--a Party, whose
motto is, Unio,b not for the sake OF Union,
but for tho sake of Freedom and Progress
and Laao 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 a Party, or n
mere PARTY Paper, but absolutely free and
independent claiming to speak by author
ityr for nobody except its editor, and rocogni-
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.
hold. and an efficient co-adjutor to the enlight-
ed Politician. II has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal an
the country can snrpass 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 the surface, and from it's position Is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the ac-
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 Antl-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
tho Union was formed to secure the blessings
of Liberty, and not to perpctuate the curse of
Slavery.
