WASHINGTON, DC.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it rims to unite the Beantiiui
with the True and to mako both Immediately
subservient to the practical purposes OF every
day lifo.
in Politics, it advocates the Rights OF Man,
and the Equality of Rights, and opposes what
over violates or tends 10 violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Servitude, civil
Dospotism. Spiritual Abs5lutism, Class Legis
Iation, tho Selfshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression Of u Majority
or the Exactions Of Party. !,
IL holds no fellowship with the wing ana
Democratic organisations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arrayeo
against each other .re obsolete or settled, ana
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest OF Slavery, to impair the love Of Lin-
erty natural to the American mind, ana 10
subjugate the American People TO Its rule. Dis-
claiming all connection with them, u yer sym
pathizes with those Of their adheronts who are
honestly seeking through them to advance the
substantial interests OF the country, although
ID must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
It is supporter Of the Independents Democ-
racv which holds that the Truths OF the Dec
laration Of Independence are pTdctical that IN
their light tho Constitution OF the United
States is to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and usages Of the coun
try should be confOrmed-a Party, whose
motto ia, Union, not for tho sake of Union
but for the sake of Freedom and Progress /;
and Loao, 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
more Party Paper, but absolutely free 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
make il an agreeable companion for the House
hold. and an efficient co-adjutor to tho enlight
ed Politician. It 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
in 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 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-Slavery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pro-Sla-
very Sentiment is represented here BY four
daily papers, nearly oil 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 the blessings
of Liberty, and not to perpetuate the curse OF
Slavery.
