PROSPECTUS OF THE ELEVENTH VOLUME,
BEGINNING JANUARY /, 1857

The National Era is Political and Lit
erary and Family Newspaper, the organ of no
party, but holding itself entirely free to ap-
prove or condemn, support or oppose, whatever
may accord or conflict with its oft-avowed
principles. Adopting the language of the Bill
of Rights, unanimously agreed upon by the
Virginia Convention of June IL, l776, and pre-
fixed to the amended Constitution of Virginia,
in 1880, it holds
That all men are, by nature, equally free
and independent
"That Government is, or ought TO be, insti-
tuted for the common benefit, protection, and
security, of the People, Nation, or Community;
"That elections of members TO serve as rep
resentatives of the people in assembly ought
TO be free;
"That all men having sufficient evidence Of
permanent common interest with, and attach
ment to, the community, have the right of suf
frage, and cannot be taxed or deprived of their
property, for public uses, without their own con-
sent or that Of their representative so elected,
nor bound by any law to which they have not
in like manner assented, for the public good
That the Freedom of the Press is one of
the great bulwarks of Liberty, and can never
be restrained but by despotic Governments
"That no free Government or the blessing
of Liberty can be preserved to any people, but
by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, tenn
perance, frugality, and virtue, and by frequent
recurrence to fundamental principles"
The National Era has supported and will
continue to support the Republican movement,
so long as it shall be true to Freedom
1t presents weekly a summary of General
News and Political Intelligence; keeps an &C.
surate record Of the Proceedings of Congress !;
is the repository of large portion of important
Speeches delivered in Congress; and its Lite
rary Miscellany, chiefly original, is supplied by
many of the best writer's of the country.

HoRRIBLE TRAGEpY.-We are called unon
this week to record one Of the most heartrend.
ing tragedies that ever occurred in this State
On Thursday night, the 30th ult., Mr.. VIM
Pearce, residing about FIVE miles from this place.
while he was eating supper, told one of his me-
gro men, who had been guilty of some misde
meanor, that as soon as he was through he
would give him fogging. Accordingly, when
he got up from the table, he went out into the
back yard, and called the fellow out of the kitch
en-, and told him to come to him. Manifesting
great deal of submission, he obeyed but so
soon as he got within striking distance, drew an
AK, and split in twain the head of his master
scattering the brains in every direction. We
are not aware he survived a minute. The negro
instantly fled, and up to this time Friday noon)
has not been captured. Mr. Pearce was good
citizen, kind husband, father, and master, and
was beloved by all who knew him this, his
melancholy fate, has cast pail of gloom over
our whole community. The negro, beyond
he is, although we admire submission to the
course pointed out by the law of the land, in this
case 80 much of the brute has been manifested,
we would be glad to see our citizens rise En-,

hang the rascal without court of jury.-Madi-

Mr.. FrLLNoRE's Disunion declaration, tina
the South "would never submit" should Fro
mont be elected, has given his supporters il
the South, who are contending against the Dis
unionists, great deal of trouble. Raynsr, i
will be recollected, contradicted the assertion
point blank; and the ground constantly take,
by Southern Americans has been, that shoult
Fremont be elected, the South ought to acquI
esce, until some overt act of aggression on it,
rights. The following paragraph, from the
Memphis (Tenn.j Eagle of the Goth ult. shows
however, the embarrassment occasioned by the
inconsiderate menace of Mr.. Fillmore:
"Mr. Fillmore predicted in his Albany speech
that the South could not submit should Ere
mont be elected. He did not say that the South
should not give Fremont trial, if constitution
ally elected or that we should not wait till hs
committed an act of treason to the Constitution;
or of outrage upon the South, before resortine
to resistance. Nor did Mr. Fillmore say thai
the best way to maintain our rights and ,,u,
institutions was to secede from the Union. By
no means. 1t is plain to every one, that, by
Disunion, we destroy the very institution VIC
seek to preserve. Disunion is hell.hatched
scheme of demagogues and traitors, who see
that it is the nearest road to the abolition Oh
Slavery, and who desire q double division OF
the spoils."

chief
We will not reprint the two closing para
graphs of the Enquirer's editorial, but ask the
reader to examine them. He will see that they
assume that standing armies owe their origin
to the abolition of Slavery in Europe-that rev.
olutions could have been better prevented by
keeping the serfs in bondage-for that then
their masters las is the case in this country
would have been the best police in the world,
to hold them in subsection The Enquirer
may try to extricate itself from this position,
which only an enemy of his race can maintain,
but it cannot do it, unless by retracting the
whole article, or pronouncing it ironical. In
historical truth it is just as deficient here as
elsewhere. The abolition of serfdom was q
gradual process, occupying centuries, and not
until the revolution in France did the system
expire in that country but, the first standing
army was organized in l439 by Charles VII,
not with any view whatever to the existence or
relations of serfdom, not because the feudal
system was not still a recognised institution,
but because it was necessary to organize and
put under pay the "free companies" who,
without regular employment, ravaged the king
dom, and because, too, it could be used as an
instrument for building up and extending the
power of the monarchs. And standing armies
are now maintained, not to prevent occasional
riots among distressed laboring men, but to
preserve existing Governments against each
other, and against the attempts of their OPP
pressed subjects to assume their just political
rights.

The TONNAGE OF THE LAKEs.-The total
steam and sail vessel tonnage built on the Westf
ern lakes in 1854 was ,784 tons. In 1856
there were added to the lake marine 81 ,427 tons.
In the present year, the tonnage reported ia

years is estimated at 81 527 900, and of the sail.

of S4,344, $50. This increase is astonishing,
and there is nothing in the history of commerce
to furnish parallel. As the Western States
become settled, and their resources developed,
additional facilities are required for transports
ing to market their surplus production; and,
enormous is the increase from year to year, tho
tonnage is now barely equal to the wants Of.
