and the Eouality Of Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil
Despotism, Spiritual Abaolutism, Class Legs

Of Combination, the Oppression OF q Majority,
or the Exaotions Of Party.
II holds no fellowship with the Whig and
Democratic organizations, believing thai the
main issues ON which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolete OF settled, and
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love OF L'b-
erty natural to the American mind, and to
subiupate the American People to it's rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, it yet SYM
pathizes with those Of their adhcrents 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 4 supporter Of the Independent Democ-
racy, which holds that the Truths Of the Dec.
laration Of Independence are practical, that IN
their light the Consultation Of the United
States is to be- interpreted, shat to them the
laws and institutions and usagos of the coun-
try should be conformed-a Party whose
motto ia, Union, 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 .
mere Party Paper but absolutely free and
independent claiming to speak " BY author

sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe its
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume of the Era will COM

enlarged by the addition OF four columns. We

make il an agreeable companion for the House
hold, and an efficient co-adjutor to the enlight-
ed Politician. Il has secured able correspond
ents at homo and abroad, and no journal In
the country can surpass the Era as it respects
contributors to it's Literary Department.
The Era publishes condemned reports Of the
proceedings Of Congress, explains movements
In that body, the causes of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from it's position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the ac-
ton of the Federal Government in relation
to oil questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery.
The only journal at the seat of the Federal
Government, representing the Antl-Slavery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pro-Sla-
very Sentiment is represented here by four
daily papers, nearly all of them being liberally
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 to perpetuate the curse OF
Slavery.
