WASHINGTON, d. Q.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics
In Literature, il rims to unite the Beautiful
with the Truo, and to make both immediately
subservicnt 10 the practical purposes Of every
day life,
ia Polisies, II advocates the Rights Of Man,
and the Equality Of Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this DO Involuntary Personal Seryltude, CIVIL
Despoism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legls-
lntio1, tho Seifshnoss Of Capital, the Tyranny
Of Combination, the Oppression Of q Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
It holds no fellowship with the Wing and
Democratic organisations, believing that the
main issuos on which they have boen arrayed
against each other are obsolete or settled, and
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Interest Of Slavery, to impair the love OF LlD-
erty netural to tho American mind, and TO
subiugate the American People to its rule Dis
claiming all connection with them, it yet sym
uathizes 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.
II is q supporter of the Independent Democ-
racy. which holds that the Truths of the Dco-
laration Of Independence are prdctacdt that IN
their light the Constitution OF tho United
States il to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and usages OF the coun-
try should be coniormed--a Party, whose
motto il Union, not for the sake Of Union,
but for. the sake Of Freedom and Progress /;
and Laac, not for the sake of Law, but for the
Protection Of Human Rights and Interests
the cnly sure foundation Of order and concord.
In no sense is it the organ of Party or 9
INDEPENDENT claiming to speak by author
ityn for nobody except its editor, and recogn-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe it's
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume of the Era will COM
mence on the first of January ensuing, and be
enlarged by tho 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.
ed Politician It has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal in
the country can surpass the Era as it respects
contributors to it's Literary Department.
The Era publishes condensed reports Of the
proceedings of Congress, explains movements
in that BODY the causes Of which do not always
lie upon the surface, and from its position is
enabled to keep constant watch upon the ac-
ton of the Federal Government in relation
to all questions ct Issue between Liberty and
Slavery.
The only journal at the seat Of the Federal
Government representing the Anti-Slavery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pro-Sla-
very Sentiment is represented here by four
daily papcrs, nearly all of them being literally
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 perpetuatc the curse OF
Slavery.
