The National Era is an uncompromiss az
opponent of Slavery and the Slave Power; an
advocate of personal, civil, and religious hhsr.
ty, without regard to race or creed; foe to al
secret combinations to control the Ballot Bcf
whether under the direction of priests or L e.
men, and to all measures directly or indirectly
countenancing prescription on account of birtA-
place or religion; friend of Temperance, tse
Homestead, and all reforms calculated to secs 70
to Labor its just consideration, recompense, ard
political weight, and to Trade, its Natural Free
dom, in virtue of which every man has right
to buy and sell in whatever market he pleases.
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.

OF the Free States on the great Question of the
Country, the only journal through which their
loyal representatives in Congress could find
voice and vindication. They have not forgot
ten, nor will they forget, that while papers en-
gagged in the same Cause elsewhere, have
strong local interests to rely upon, and the pa.
pers printed here, opposed to our Cause, thrive
through the patronage of the Federal Govern
ment, the Era is uniformly prescribed by that
Government and its legal right to official ad-
vertisements denied, while, so far from having
the support, it is constantly subjected to the
opposition, of strong local interests; 80 that its
only dependence is upon those enlightened
friends of Freedom, all over the country, who
appreciate the necessity of maintaining such

1t is with emotions of gratitude to God, and
profound respect for the memory of those who
established our Republic, that we refer to the
period when, at the very font of our national
baptism, our fathers vindicated their claims to
national Independence, solely upon the religious
truths which constitute the central proposition
reierred 70 at the commencement of my re-
marks. They claimed for themselves no special
privileges. They spoke, they fought, thew bled
to establish this universal, this eternal prin.

attain happiness. This they proclaimed the
basis, the corner stone, not merely of our Re

The Constitution was framed and adopted upop
this then universally admitted principle; but
such was the anxious solicitude of our early

There will be during the ensuing winter
regular stated preaching by three clergy
men Of different Christian denominations.
Rev. Mr.. CHESTNUT, Presbyterian, will
preach semi-,nontbly; Rev. J. X. FULLER,
Methodist Episcopal, is stationed here, and
will have weekly service, and Rev. Mr..
Horn, Episcopal, should ne deteru;ne to
locate here, will, it Is presumed, also bold
weekly service. We are informed that the
Congregational brethren design to secure
clergyman Of that church at an early pc
Rod. It is hoped that our citizens will
appreciate the necessity Of additional
houses Of worship, and that they will
speedily engage in the work Of erecting
them, with iberality and energy that
will admit Of no abatement, until this i'm.
portant end shall have been fully accom-
plished. 1t should also be borne in mind
that the &C ntlemen who offciate ia our pull.
pits, are to bear an important part in the
advancement and prosperity Of our city.
Their lives are to be devoted TO the good
of the people, and all their energies direct
ed % the accomplishment Of those objects
that are to make our city and country de-
sirable and attractive ~ homes for the
really good and useful citizen. These
facts should prompt oil to aid, SO far Is
their means will admit, in sustaining these

and money, or whatever they may have
to contribute, that can be made available
ia the direction indicated.

pleasure tbs. we are able to say that .b.

country was never better than at the pres

in our midst. We have heard Of q mum.

Oar Schools.

There have been during the present sea.
son two schools in operation in our city,
with an average number Of over thirty
pupils in each. We understand that the
school directors have it in contemplation
to employ competent male teacher BY

needed. with Q view to thorough course
Of instruction in the higher branches Of
sn English education. We learn that
Rev. Mr.. HoYr is an applicant for this
position, and that be will probably be EN-.

clergyman, who appears, from limited
acquaintance, to be thoroughly educated
and in every respect well qualified to as
sumo the charge Of our school. The d.
rectors are men Of high standing in our
community who fully appreciate the i'm

no doubt bu. they will do what is best fol
