The National Era is an uncompromising op-
ponent of Slavery and the Slave power; an adj
vocate of personal, civil, and religious liberty,
without regard to race or creed; foe to all
secret combinations to control the llot-Box,
whether under the direction of priests or laymen;
friend of Temperance, the Homestead, and
all reforms calculated to secure to Labor its just
consideration, recompense, and political weight,
and to Trade, its Natural Freedom, in virtue of
which every man has a right to buy and sell in
whatever market he pleases. 1t believes in the
right of individual Judgment in all matters,
whether of religion or politics, and rejects the
dogma of passive obedience and non-resistance
in both Church and State holding that no man
who swears to support the Constitution of the
United States can deliberately violate his own
settled conviction Gifts meaning, without incur
ring the guilt of perjury, and that no citizen can
obey human enactment which requires him to
commit injustice, without immortality.
1t regards Slavery, and the issues involved in
it, as forming the great Political Question OF
the Day; taking the ground, that Slavery, from
its necessities, instincts, and habits is perpetu-
ally antagonistic to Freedom and Free Labor,
| and unchangeably aggressive; that its workings
can De counteracted only by permanent Sys-
tenn of measures; that the Wing and Democrat
ic Parties, not having been formed with view
to the issues raised by the Slave Interest, but
being held in thrall by it, so far from present.
ing any resistance to its exactions, afford facil-
tiles for enforcing them; and that one or both
must be broken up, and the true friends of Lib
erty be united, without regard to old issues or
prejudices, on Party of Freedom, as a neces-
sary preliminary to the overthrow of the Slave
Power. It, therefore, gives its earnest support
| to the Republican Movement, so far as its policy
| has yet been developed-a movement which
promises to effect such q union.
The National Era, while occupying a deci-
| ded position in Politics, has amply provided in
| its Literary Miscellany and News Department
| for the various wants of the Family Careful
| abstracts of Intelligence, Domestic and Foreign,
are given every week in its columns during
| the sessions of Congress, special attention is
| devoted TO its movements and it has secured
| the services of some of the most distinguished
| literary writer's of the country.
The Ninth Volume aoiH commence on the Isl
| Of January ensuing. Subscriptions should be

Know Nothing Convention at Springfield.

Springfield, Mass, Aug. THE committee
of the Know Nothing Convention has reported
platform. 1t allows all naturalized foreign
ers, who are Protestants, to become members
of the organization; it protests against the i'm
portation of foreign paupers and criminals, and
insists upon the restoration of the Missouri
Compromise.
1t asserts that Slavery is sectional, and Free
dom is national. 1t denounces the National
Piles, and recommends fusion of all parties to
overthrow It.

GOVERNOR REEDER.-The Washington Union
of Sunday morning contains the correspond
ence between Governor Reeder and the Depart
ment of the Interior, which led to the removal
of that gentleman. We have no room this
week for synopsis. The Union, which is
edited by Governor Reeder's particular friend,
]. w. Forney, has not word of comment on
the merits of the affair, but confines itself to
a simple statement. That is an ungracious
task for an organ grinder, to be called on to
adjust the rope around the neck of an old
friend, while the poor privilege is denied OF
dropping generous tear, or even to say God
pity you'll"

Recovery of Drowned Bodies.

Philadelphia, dug. e. The bodies of Mr..
Douglas, the express agent, Ramsey, and
Hughes, drowned by the injury to the steam
boat Gen. Mcdonald, owing to the collision on
Saturday night, have been recovered, and
taken into Chester. Two other bodies, one of
a colored man, were found near Red Bank,
New Jersey shore, this morning.
NORTH CAROLINA ELEcTIoN.-It is quite GER
tain that Branch, Rufin, Winslow, and Craig,
all Democrats, are elected to Congress- while
it is probable that the Know Nothings have
elected Paine, Puryear, and Edwin G. Reid,
over John Kerr. Clingman's district has not
been heard from. The result is doubtful but
the probabilities are in his favor.
TENNESSEE ELECTIoN.-The accounts from
Tennessee are unsatisfactory, and give large
margin to conjecture The first accounts rep
resented Gentry as largely ahead; but later re-
turns give the preponderance to the scale of
johnson, the Democratic candidate. The mea-
ger and uncertain details are not worth the
room they would occupy.

NEw YoRK.-The friends of the Administra-
ton in New York, known as the Sofs, show
desire to coalesce with the Hards, at the ap-
preaching elections; and, to effect this result,
the Albany Junta have issued call for State
Convention at Syracuse, on the 29th inst, to be
composed of a double set of delegates from each
district or county. 1t is hoped that the Hards
will avail themselves of the opportunity to re-
turn to the fold, and that re-fusion will be
formed. The Herald, which divides its SYM
pathies between the Hards and the Know Moth
ings, is opposed to the fusion. 1t is of little
consequence what is done in the premises, since
nothing which they can do will prevent fu-
sion OF large majority of the people of New
York, for the purpose of securing Freedom in
the Territories. The Union-savers of all shades
have had their day, and their quarrels over the
spoils they have won, or their bargains for the
attainment of future spoils, are equally incon.
sequential-they reckon without their host. G..

Owing to the troubled state of Italy, the
French garrison at Rome has been reinforced
by thousand more men,
Mazzini publishes letter in the Genoa pa
pers, warning Italians against Bonapartist in
trigues.
Germdny.-Most of the small German States
are preparing to disarm. The resignation OF
the Hanoverian Cabinet is hourly expected,
and it is said Count Platten will be the new
Premier.
Captain Merryman, of the American baroue
Undine, has been the first to refuse payment of
the Hanoverian State dues. He refused to
show his papers, yet was permitted to proceed
to Hamburg and deliver bis cargo.
Denmark.-The Danish Government is un-
derstood to have replied to the United States
in long document, regretting that the Cabinet
at Washington had not given longer notice of
its intention respecting the non-payment of
Sound dues, especially in the present crisis,
draw her into war; and, further, that the abo-
lition of Sound dues would be loss of many
thousands of dollars to Denmark, and a saving
of not more than two hundred dollars annually
to the shipping of the United States.
Denmark, therefore, considers it impossible
on the short notice to comply, and believes
that other nations will regard Americas de-
mand unfavorably.
Russia.-A Vienna letter in the Cologne
Gazette repeats that marked differences have
arisen between the Gear and his brother Con-
stantine, and that the journey of the Prince of
Prussia to st. Petersburgh is for the purpose
Of acting as mediator.
