Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-02-16
Prospectus OF THE DAILY NATIONAL ERA

| shall issue, on the I'd day OF January en-
SUNG, the DAILY NATIONAL ERA, Political
and Literary Newspaper
La Politics, il will advocate the Rights OF
Man, and the Equality OF Rights, and oppose
whatever violates or tends 10 violate them,
whether this be Involuntary Personal Servi-
Jude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism,
Glass Legislation, the Selishness Of Capital,
The Tyranny Of Combination, the Oppression Of
a Majority, or the Exactons Of a Party.
IL will hold no fellowship with the Wing
and Democratic organisations, believing that
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
lona Interest OF Slavery, to impair the love OF
Liberty natural 10 the American mind, and TO
subiugate the American People to its rule. Dis
claiming all connection with them, il will yet
sympathze with those Of their adherents who
are honestly seeking through them to advance
the substantial interests Of the country, although
il must believe that they have not chosen the
better way.
II will be supporter OF the Independent
Democracy which holds that the Truths Of the
Declaration Of Independence are practical; that
in their light the Constitution Of the United
States is 10 be interpreted; that TO them the laws
and institutions and usages OF the country
should be conformed---a Party, whose motto
is, Union, not for the sake Of Union, but Tor the
sake Of Freedom and Progress and Lar, not
Tor 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 il be the organ Of Party, or
d mere Party Paper,.bu absolutely " free and
independently" claiming to speak by 'sauthorl-
"" for nobody except It's editor, and recognIs-
ing no authority in any quarter to prescribe ITS
course and policy.
In Literature, il will aim to unite the Beau
liful with the True, and 10 make both mmedi-
ately subservient to the practical purposes OF
everyday life.
Able correspondents, at home and abroad,
have been secured, and ample provision has
been made for its Literary Miscellany.
1t 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 10 keep a constant watch upon the action
Of the 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 twenty-eight thousand,
must make il an eligible medium for advertisers.
The Daily Era will be issued on sheet as
large as that OF the Duly National Inteligencer,
on the I'd day Of January, 1854, and daily there
after, until the LIST Of September, 1854, Cor long
er, should Congress continue in SESSION. AT
FIVE DOLLARS FOR THAT PERIOD and should
the result then WARRANT, the publication will be
resumed on the LIST Of December following, by
the year.
AZ hut s;xteen DAVIS intervene between this
and the cd of January, it is important that
subscriptions be forwarded at once.
