. ~ III
| shall issue, on the I'd day Of January en-
SUNG, the DAILY NATIONAL ERA, Political
and Literary Newspaper.
In Politics, il will advocate the Rights OF
Man, and the Equality OF Rights, and oppose
whatever violates or tends 10 violate them.
whether this be Involuntary Personal Servi-
tude, Civil Despotisnl, Spiritual Absolutism,
Class Legislation, the Sel6shness Of Capital,
the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression Of
Majority, or the Exactions OF a Party.
II will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organizations, believing that
the main issues on which they have been ar
rayed against each other are obsolete or settled.
and thai they are now chiefly used by the Sec
tional Interest oi Slavery, 10 impair the love OF
Liberty natural to the American mind, and 10
subiugate the American People to its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, il will yel
sympathize with those OF their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them 10 advance
the substantial of the country although
it must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
Ii will be supporter Of the independent
Democracy, which holds that the Truths of the
Declaration 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 usages Of the country
should be conformed--a Party, whose motto
is, Union, not for the sake Of Union, but ior the
sake Of Freedom and Progress and Lar, not
for the sake Of Law. but for the Protection Of
Human Rights and lnterests-the only sure
foundation Of order and concord.
In no sense will il be the organ OF Party, or
mere Party Paper, but absolutely 9 free and
independent" claiming TO speak by " authorl-
ty" for nobody except its editor. and recognls-
ing no authority in any quarter TO prescribe us
course and policy
Ia Literature, il will aim TO unite the Beau
tiful with the True, and to make both immecl
ately subservient TO the practical purposes OF
everyday life.
Able correspondents, at home and abroad,
have been secured, and ample provision has
been made for its Literary Miscellany.
II will publish condensed reports OF the pro-
ceedings of Congress, explain movements in
that body, the causes Of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from It's position be
able to keep constant watch upon the action
of the Federal Government in relation to all
questions at issue between Liberty and Slavery.
The extensive subscription OF the Weekly
Era, which, during the year about to close, has
reached the number Of twenty eight thousand,
must make il an eligible medium for advertisers.
