NATIONAL ERA.
a BAILEY. EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.

WASHINGTON, D. 9.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, il aims to unite the Beautiful
with the True, and to make both immediately
subscrvient to the practical purposes OF every
day life.
Ia Politics, it advocates the Rights Of Man,
and the Equality of Rights and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Seryitude, Civil
Daspotisn,. Spiritual Absolutisnl, Class Legis-
lation, the Selfshness Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination, tho Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
It holds no fellowship with the Wing ana
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other arc obsolete OF settled ana
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair tho love OF L'p-
erty natural to the American mind and to
subiugate the American People to it's rule Dis-
claiming all connection with them, it yet SYM
pathises with those of their adhsrents 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.
II IS supporter Of tho Independent Democ-
racv. which holds that the Truths OF the Dec-
larasion Of Independence are praet1cab 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 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 Lcao, 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 a Party, or 9
mcre Party Paper, but absolutely : free and
independent" claiming to speak BY author
ity for nobody except its editor, and reeognl-
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 DC
enlarged by the addition of four columns. We
have neglected no means that could promise TO
make it an agreoabls companion for the House
hold, and an efficient co-adjutor to the eniight-
ed Politician It has secured able correspond
cnts 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
proceadinps 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-
tion Of the Federal Government in relation
to all questions Ut issue between Liberty and
Slavery.
The only journal at the scat of the Federal
Government representing tho Anti-Slavery
Sentiment of the Republic, while the Pro Sla-
very Sentiment is represented here by four
deily 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 perpetuate the curse OF
Slavery.
