of Combination, the Oppression OF Majority,
or the Exactions Of Party.
II holds no fellowship with the Wing ana
Democratic organizations, believing that the
main issues on which they have been arrayed
against each other are obsolete or Settled anu
that they are now chiefly used by tho Sectionai

erty natural to the American mind, and 60
subjugate the American People to Its rule DIS
claiming all connection with them it yet sym
pathzce with those Of their adhcronts who are
honcstly 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 |. supporter of tho Independents Democ-
racv. which holds that the Truths OF the Dec

ed Politician 1t has secured able correspond
ents at home and abroad, and no journal IN
the country can surpass the Era as it respects
contributors to its 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 IL
enabled to keep q constant watch upon the ac-
ton Of the Federal Government in relation
to all questions Mt issue between Liberty and
Slavery.
The only journal at tho seat Of the Federal
Government, representing the Anti-Slayery
Sentiment Of the Republic, while the Pro Sla-
very Sentiment is 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 the blessings
Of Liberty, and not to perpetuate the curse OF
Slavery.
