The National Era is . weekly newspaper,
devoted 70 Literature and l'0litiOs.
Ia Literature it sims to unite the Beautiful
with the True, and to mako both immediately
subservient 70 the practical purposes o. every
day life.
In Politics, il advocates tie Rights Of Man,
and the Equality d. Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to vol ito them, whether
this be Involuntary Porsonsl Seryitude, Civil
Dospotism, Spiritual Absolut Ism, Class Logs
lation, the Sel6shnoss Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression of MaJorisy'
or tho Exnctions Of Party.
Il holds no fellowship with tho Wing AND
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have becn arrayeo
against each other are obsole 70 or settled, and
that they are now chiefly used by the SectIonal
Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love OF ihD-
ortv natural to tho American mind, and 70
subiusate the American People 70 its rule DIS
claiming ali connection with them, it yet SYM
-pathizes with those Of their adhsronts who are
honestly seeking through them tp advance the
substantial interests Of the country, although
it must believe that they havc rot chosen the
better wny.
It Is q supporter Of the Independent Democ-
raov. which holds that tho Truths Of the Dec
larasion of Independence are practical that N
their light the Constitution Of the United
States Is to be interpreted, that to thcm tho
laws and institutions and usages OF the coun
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 Lo,c not for the sake OF Law, but for tho
Protection al Human Rights and Interests
the only sure foundation OF order and concord.
Id no sense is it the organ OF Party or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely FREQ and
independent claiming to speak by author
ityn for nobody except its editor, and recogni-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe Its
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume Of the Era will COM
mence on the first Of january ensuing, and be
ENLARGED by the addition of four columns We
have neglected no means that could promise to
mako IL an agreeable companion for the House
hold, and an efficient co-adjutor to the cnlight-
cd 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 it's Literary Department.
The Era publishes condensed reports OF the
proceedings Of Congress- cxplains movements
In that body, the causes Of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from it's position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the ac-
ton of the Federal Government in relation
TO all questions at issuc between Liberty and
Slavery.
The only journal at tho scat Of the Federal
Governments representing the Anti-Slavery
Sentiment OF tho 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 Usaion was formed to secure the blessings
Of Liberty, and not to pcrpetuate the curse OF
Slavery.
