PROSPECTUS OF THE EIGHTH VOLUME OF THE
NATIONAL ERA
a. BAILEY EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
JOHN q. WHITTIER, CORRESPONDING EDITOR.
WASHINGTON, DC.
The National Era is weekly newspaper,
devoted to Literature and Politics.
In Literature, it aims to unite tho Beautiful
with the True, and to mako both immediately
subservient to the practical purposes OF every
day life.
In Politics. it advocates the Rights OF Man,
and the Equality of Rights, and opposes what
ever violates or tends to violate them, whether
this be Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil
Despotisln, Spiritual Absoiutism, Class Legs
lation, the Selfshness Of Capital the tyranny
Of Combination the Oppression OF MaJority,
or the Exactions of Party.
II holds no fellowship with the Whig ana
Democratic organizations, believing that inc
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolcte or settled, ana
that they are now chiefly used by the Sectional
Intarest az Slavery, to impair the love Of Lib
erty natural to the American mind, and to
snbiugate the American People to its rule Dis
claiming all connection with them it yet sym
pathizcs with those Of their adhcronts who are
honestly seeking through them to advance tbc
substantial interests of the country, although
IL must believe that they have not chosen the
better way
II is d supporter OF the independent Democ-
raay which holds that the Truths OF the Dec,
laration Of independence are practical, that IN
their light the Constitution OF the United
States is to be interpreted, that to them the
laws and institutions and usagcs Of the coun-
try should be conformcd--a Party, whose
motto is, Union, not for tho sake OF Union,
but for the sake Of Freedom aud Progress
and Law, not for the sake of Law, but for tho
Protection of Human Rights and interests
the only sure foundation OF order and concord
In no sense is it the organ of o Party, or
mere Party Paper; but absolutely free and
independent claiming to speak "by author
ityn for nobody except its editor, and recognl-
sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe 'ts
course and policy.
The Eighth Volume of the Era will COM
mencc OF, the first Of January ensuing and be
enlarged by the 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. II has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal In
the country can surpass tho 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 70 keep q constant watch upon the &C.
tiou of tho Federal Government in relation
Co all questions at issue between Liberty and
Slavery
The only journal ut the scat OF tho Federal
Government, representing the Anti-Slavery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pro-Sia-
very Sentiment liz represented here by four
daily papers, nearly all of them being literally
sustained by Governmental patronage, 1t asks
the support of all who believe in sincerity, that
the Union was formed to secure tho blessings
of Liberty, and not to perpetuate tho curse OF
Slavery.
