PROSPECTUS OF THE DAILY NATIONAL ERA.

shall ISSUE on the I'd day Of Jahuary en-.
suing, the DAILY NATIosAL 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 Scl6shness of Capital
the Tyranny Of Combination, the Oppression Of
Majority, or the Exactions OF Party.
IL will hold no fellowship with the Whig
and Democratic organisations, believing that
the main issues on which they have been ar
rayed against each othcr are obsolete or settled,
and that they are now chiefly used by the SEQ
tional Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love Of
Liberty natural 10 the American mind, and to
subiugate the American People to it's rule Dis
claiming all connection with them, IL will yet
avmpathize 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
Dsmocracg, which holds that the Truths OF the
Declaration of Independence are practical that
in their light the Constitution OF the United
States is to be interpreted that TO them the
laws ADMINISTRATIONS 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 Lam, not
|or the sake Of Law, but for the protection OF
