The National Era Is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it aims to unto 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
Dcspotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis-
lation, the SelHshness Of Capital, tho Tyranny
OF Combination, the Oppression Of Majority,
or the Exactions of Party.
II holds no fellowship with the Whig and
Dcmocratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they havc been srrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled, and
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest of Slavery, to impair tho love OF LIB
erty natural to the American mind, and to
subiueate the American People to its rulc. DIS
claiming all connection with them, it 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.

motto is Union, not for the sake OF Union.

hold, and an efficient co-adjutor to the enlight-
ed Politician. IL has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal in
the country can -surpass 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 its position il
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 tho 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 perpetnate the curse OF
Slavery.
