WASHINGTON, DO.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it sims to unite the Beautiful
with the True, and to make both Immediately
subservient to the practical purposes Of every
day life.
Ia Politics, il 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 Servtude, Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Absclutism, Class Logs
lation, the Selfshness Of Capital, the tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exaotions of Party.
It holds no fellowship with the Wing and
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been nrrayea
against each other arc obsolete or settled, and
that they arc now chiefly used by the Scctlona'
Interest of Slavery, to impair the love OF i'iD-
erty natural to the American mind and to
subiugate the American People to its rule Dis
claiming ali connection with them, it yet sym
pathizcs with those Of their adheronts 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 q supporter of the independent Demoo-
raey. which holds that the Truths OF the Dec
Iaration Of Independence are practicdl that IN
their light the Constitution OF the United
States il to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and usages of the cOun-
try should he oonformed--a Party, whose
motto ia U,,ion not for the sake OF Union,
but for the sake of Freedom and Progress; !;
and Lar 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 a
mere Party Paper, but absolutely free and
independents 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 tho 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
cd Politician. II has secured able correspond.
ents at homo and abroad, and no journal IN
the country can surpass the Era as It respects
The Era publishes condensed reports of the
proceedings Of Congress, explains movements
Ia that BODY, the causes of which do not always
lie upon tho surface, nnd from it's position is
enabled to keep a constant watch upon the ac-
ton Of the Federal Government in relation
to NIL questions mt 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
daily papers, nearly all Of them being literally
sustained by Governmental patronage, 1t asks
the support of all who believe in sincerity, that
the Union was formed to secure the blessings
of Liberty, and not TO perpetuatc the curse OF
Slavery.
