PROSPECTUS OF THE TWELFTH VOLUME
BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1858.
@. BAILEY, EDITOR AND PREPARATORY
JOHN q. WHITTIER, OoRR EsPoHDING EDIToR

The National Era is an uncompromising
opponent of Slavery and the Slave Power; an
advocate OF personal, civil, and religious libvr
ty, without regard to race or creed; foe To al
secret combinations to control the Ballot Box,
whether under the direction of priests or lay-
men, and to all measures directly or indirectly
countenancing prescription on account of birth
place or religion friend of Temperance, the
Homestead, and all reforms calculated to secure
to Labor It's just consideration, recompense, and
political weight, and to Trade, its Natural Free
dom, in virtue of which every man has a 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, ard habits, is perpetu
ally sntagonistic to Freedom and Free Labor,
and unchangeably aggressive; that ts work.
mgs can be counteracted only by permanent
system of measures; and it therefore has sup.
ported, and will continue TO support, the Re
publican Party, 80 long as it shall be true 10

dependent, at liberty to approve or condemn
whatever may accord or conflict with its oft.
svowed principles.

News and Political Intelligence, keeps a rec

somely. No paper can boast warmer or more
steadfast friends. They have not forgotten

slaveholding District, and has been for eleven
years the only journal at the seat of the Fed.
eral Government, representing the sentiments
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 thai
Government, and its legal right to official ad-
vertisements denied, while, 30 far from having
the support, it is constantly subjected to the
opposition, of strong local interests so that its
only dependence is upon those enlightened
| friends of Freedom, all over the country, who
appreciate the necessity of maintaining such a
sentinel on the outpost of Freedom.
