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.
In Politics, it advocates the Rights Of Man,
and the Equality Of Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to Violate them, whether
thia be Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil
Despot;sm. Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis-
lation. the Selfshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Continuation, the Oppression " Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party,
It holds no fellowship with the Wing and
Democratic organizations, believing that inc
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other ARC obsolete or settled, and
that they are now chiefly used BY the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love OF i.ib-
ertv natural to the American mind, ana 10
subiupate the American People to its rule. Dls-
claiming all connection with them, it yet SYM
pathizos with those of their adheronts 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 Is q supporter Of the Independent Delnoc-
racy, which holds that the Truths OF the Dec
laration Of Independence nre PrGeficah that IN
their light the Constitution OF the United
States is to be interpreted, that 70 them the
laws and institutions and usages 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 Lau 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
ity' for nobody except it's editor, and recognl-
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 bv 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. Il has secured able correspond
ents at homo 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
10 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 al questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery
The only journal at the seat 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 libcrally
sustained by Governmental patronage, it asks
the support of all who believe, in sincerity, that
the Union was formed to secure tho blessings
of Liberty, and not TO perpetuate the curse of
Slavery.
