A WORD III EARNEST.

The elections in some of the Eastern and
Western States are now near at hand, but We
are still very much in the dark as to the course
te be pursued by the Wings and Anti Ne2ras-
ka Democrats in relation thereto. 1t is well
understood that no pains or cost will be spared
by the Administration in the support of its
Congressional candidates. All appliances of
party and Government will be put in opera
ton: every Office holder Will be made to under
stand that he holds his place only on condition
Of rendering active and INSCRIPTIONS election
eering service. Under these circumstances,
nothing short OF a complete fusion of all the
clements Of opposition into determined and
vigorous party, based on the long-abandoned
principles Of the Declaration of Independence
can insure majority Of Anti Slavery members
in the House of Representatives
Shall this fasiGn take place Shall Wings
Democrats, and Frec-Soilers-powcrless while
separated unite, and sweep the free States
clean Of services and slave catchers and make
the new House Of Representatives an effec.ual
barrier ag,lrs. the rnonstrOus propagandism of
Slavery Shall the certainty of this most de-

RENEWALS AND NEW SUBSCRIPTIONS WHO
RESPONDS!

The time has come when we must call upon
subscribers whose terms are about expiring, to
renew; and, while doing SO, 10 send new
names with their own. The first half OF the
present volume OF the Era will close with the
last Of this month We have just sent cut
special request to our voluntary agents to
Join in a determined and vigorous effort to en-
large our list. The time is auspicious. People
arc aroused OH the subject Of Slavery, and
need information Only the first great tri-
nmnh Of the Slave Power has been won Fur
ther and more dangerous aggressions are medi-
tailed. The Anti-Siayery sentiment Of the
country needs organization. To promote the
great cause of Union for the sake Of Freedom,
the most active efforts ought now to be made
tQsineresse the circulation OF newspapers OPP
pssed to Slavery.
The Era needs special movement in its
fAvcr. Some of its best agents during the last
twelve months have diverted their labors to the
establishment Of local Ant-Slavery papers.
We do not complain Of this, but could they
not now spare few weeks to the Era, which
has no local support, and must depend alone
upon the general interest felt in the vigorous
maintenance of such n paper at the seat of
Government! In brief terms, LEI Us say that,
should they succeed in adding to our Weekly
list SIX thousand subscribers, it would not re-
Jay the loss we have sustained in undertaking
to carry on Daily Era, although it would
enable Us 20 relieve ourselves from the enlbar-
easements in which that has involved us.
let every agent Use his best exertiOns for
the paper. Let every subscriber whose time is
about to expire, renew promptly, and send US
at least ore new name. We reprint our
Terms, and shall keep them standing, as a
guide TO the efforts of our friends:

20 RESPONSE TO QUIZ CIRCULAR.

Oar Circular We trust, has fallen not upon
stony places, but in good ground. Handsome
returns are beginning to be made. Two or
three days since, q single mail brought us fifty
four new Subscribers, the most of them in Bos-
ton and adjacent towns So much for Fugitive
Slave Acts
Now is the time, friends. Do your best.
We have done ours. An addition of six thou
sand subscribers would greatly encourage US,
and relieve Us, although it would not repair
the loss sustained by the Daily. We have
made a direct appeal to our agents. We now
ask every subscriber, who feels an interest in
the Era to do what he can to extend the list.
Please look at the terms.
