WASHINGTON, D.. c.
The National Era is q 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
this DO Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis-
.lation, the Selfshness. Of Capital, the tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression Of Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party. !,
Il holds no fellowship with the Wing ana
Democratic organizations, believing that tne
main issues on which they have been arrayou
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 LIB
erty natural to the American mind, and TO
subiugate the American People to its rule DIS
claiming all connection with them, it yet sym
pathizes with those Of their adhcrents who are
honestly seeking through thcm to advance the
substantial interests Of the country aithongh
it must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
Il il q supporter of the Independent Democ-
racy. which holds that the Truths OF the Dec
laration of Independence are practical, that IN
their light the Consultation of the United
States is to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and usages Of the conn-
try should be conformed--a Party, whose
motto ia Union, not for the sake Of Union,
but for the sake of Freedom and Progress
and Lar 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 spsak by author
ityn for nobody except it's editor, and racogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe its
course and policy.

Contributors to It's Literary Department
The Era publishes condensed reports Of the
nroeeedinps of Congress- explains movements
n that body, the causes of which do not always
iie upon the surface, and from its position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the ac-
tiou 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 Republie while the Pro- Sla-
yery Sentiment is represented bore by four
daily papers, nearly all of them being liberally
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 curss OF
Slavery.
