WASHINGTON, D.. @.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it aims to unite the Beautiiui
with the True, and to mako 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, whetner
this be Involuntary Personal Servitude civil
Despotism Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis
latiou. the Seifshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression OF . Majority,
or the Exacti0ns Of Party.
II holds no fellowship with the Whig and
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues ON which they have been arrayed
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 20
subiugate the American People to its rule Dis
claiming all connection with them it yet SYM
pathizes with those of their adherents 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 a supporter of the Independent Democ-
racy, which holds that the Truths OF the Dec
laration of Independence are practical, that IN
their light the Constitution OF the United
States is to be interpreted, that TO them the
laws and institutions and usagcs 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 Law, 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 il it the organ Of Party, or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and
independently claiming to speak by author
ityn for nobody except it's 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 it an agreeable companion for the House
hold, and an efficient co-adjutor to the 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
~ tha Anti -S
Sentiment of the 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 Union was formed to secure the blessings
Of Liberty, and not 10 pcrpctuate the curse OF
Slavery.
