WASHINGTON, DC.
Tho National Era il . >weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it nims TO unite tho Beautiful
with the True, and to make both immediately
subseryient to the practical PURPOSES Of every
day life
In Politics, it advocates the Rights OF Man,
and tho Equality Of Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil
Despotism Spiritual Absoutism, Class Legis-
lation, the Selfshness OF Capital, the tyranny
Of Combination, tho Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party
II holds no fellowship with the wing ana
Democratic organizations, believing thac 1Is
main issues on which they have been arraycd
AGAINST each other are obsolete or settled, and
that they arc now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love OF LIB
erty natural to the American mind, and TO
subiugatc the American People to its rule. Dls-
claiming all connection with them, it yet sym
pathizes with those of their ..dherents 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.
r is d supporter Of the independent Democ-
racy. which holds that tho Truths OF tho Dec
iaration of Independence arc practicaS, that in
their light the Constitution Of tho United
States ia to be interpreted that to 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 j;
and Law, not for the sake Of Law, but for the
Protection of Human Rights and Interests
the only bnre foundation Of order and concord
In no sense is it the organ of Party, or
mere Party Paper but absolutely " free and
independent,o claiming to speak by anthor-
ityn for nobody except its editor, and recogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe it's
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume of the Era will com
mence on tho 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 Honse-
hold, and an efficient co-ndjutor to the enlight-
ed Politician. II 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
Ia that body, the causes Of which do not always
lie upon the snrface, and from its 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 seat of the Federal
Government, representing the Anti-Slayery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pros 'Sla-
60 .faA have ~ I'm
daily papers, nearly al 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 perpetuate the curse OF
Slavery.
