WASHINGTON, D. c. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST q 1854

Human Rights and Interests--the only sure
foundation Of order and concord.
In no sense will is be the organ OF Party,
or q mere Party Paper, but absolutely free
and independentu claiming to speak by au-
thority . for nobody except its. editor, and rec
ognising no authority in any quarter to pre-.
scribe its course and policy.
In Literature, it will aim to unite the Beau
tiful with the T-ne, and to make both imnledi-
ately subservient to the practical purposes Of
everyday life.
Able correspondence at homo and abroad,
have been secured, and ample provision has
been made for its Literary Miscellany.
It 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 its position be
able to keep q constant watch upon the action
Of tho 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 twcnty-cight thousand,
must make it an eligible medium for advertisers

FIVE DOLLARS FOR THAT PERIOD; and should
the result then WARRANT, the publication will
be resumed on the 1st Of September following,

As but sixteen days intervene between this

PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY NATIONAL Err

shall issue, on the I'd day Of January en-
suing, the DAILY NATIONAL ERA, Political
and Literary Newspaper.
In Politics, it will advocate the Rights OF
Man, and the Equality Of Rights, and oppose
whatever violates or tends to violate them,
whether this be Involuntary Personal Servi
tude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism,
Class Legislation, the Scldshness Of Capital,
tho tyranny of Combination, the Oppression OF
Majority, or the Exactions Of a Party.
lt will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organizations, belicviog that
Tho main issues on which they have been ar
raycd against each other are obsolete or settled,
and that they are now chiefly used by the Sec-
tional Interest OF Slavery, 10 impair the love Of
Liberty natural to the American mind, and to
subioaasc the American People to it's rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, II will yet
svmpathize with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them to advance
the substantial interests Of the country, although
is muss believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
10 will be n supporter OF the independent
Democracy, which holds that the Truths OF the
Declaration of Independence are practical; that
in their light tho Constitution OF the United
States Is to be interpreted that TO them the
laws and institutions and usagcs OF the country
should be conformed---a Party whose motto
is, Union, not for the sake OF Union, but for the
sske Of Freedom and Progress; and Lao, not
or tho sake Of Law, but for tho protection OF
