Daily national era., 1854-01-06
PROSPECTUS or THE DAILY NATIONAL ERA

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 to violate them,
whether this be Involuntary Personal Servi-
tude, Civil Despoiism, Spiritual Absolutism,
Class Legislation. the Selfshness of Capital,
the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression Of
Majority, or the Exactons of Party.
Il will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organisations, believing thai
the main issues on which they have been ar
rayed 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 10 the American mind, and 10
subjugate The American People TO its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, it will yet
sympaihize with those Of their adherents 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.
u will be supporter Of the Independent
Democracy, which holds that the Truths Of the
in their light the Constitution of the United
States is TO be interpreted; that TO them the laws
and institutions aud usages Of The country
should be coniormcd-a Party, whose motto
is, Union, not ior 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 lnterests--the only sure
foundation of order and concord.
In no sense will II be the organ OF Party, or
a mere Party Paper, but absolutely :" free and
independent" claiming TO speak by "authori
ty'' Tor nobody except lis editor. and recognis-
ing no authority in any quarter to prescribe ITS
course and policy.
In Literature, il will aim TO unite the Beau
tiiul with The True, and TO make both immedi-
| ately suhservient TO the practical purposes OF
every day 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 canses Of which do not always
lie upon the surface. and from its position be
able to keep constant watch upon the action
| Of the Federal Government in relation 10 all
questions at issue between liberty and Slavery.

Era, which, during the year about TO close, has
