The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1859-12-01
THE NATION ERA,
Vol. XIV. January. 1850.
d.

The National Era is a Political, Literary,
and Family Newspaper. 1t is an uncompro-
missing opponent of Slavery and the Slave
Power, an advocate of Personal, Civil, and
Religious Liberty, and the friend of the Home
stead Bill, and all measures calculated to give
TO Labor its just consideration, recompenSe,
and political weight. Regarding Slavery and
the issues involved in it as the Great Political
Question OF the day, it has supported and will
continue to support the Republican Party, so
long as 1T shall be true 70 Freedom. In prin-
clple and policy the Era viii continue to be, in
all respects, what it has always been. The
melancholy event which transferred it's respon-
slbilities to the present proprietor will make no
change in its character.
The National Era presents weekly sum-
mary of General News and Political Intelli-
gence, keeps an accurate record Of the pro-
ceedlngs OF Congress, and is the repository of
large portion OF the most important Speeches
delivered IN that body. Mr.. ID. X. GOoDLoE,
tor long time contributor, and known to YOU
since last January as Assistant Editor, will
have charge of the Political Department, as
sisted by other able writer's. The Literary Mis-
eeliany, chiefly original, is supplied by some of
the best writers of the country.
In the midst of a community hostile or indif.
ferent to its objects, the NatQnal Era has for
thirteen years labored for the establishment of
the principles upon which the Republican Par
ty is founded. 1t is certainly important on the
eve of Presidential Campaign, and when in
cendiary appeals are again made for its sup
preston by mob violence, that it should be
vigorously sustained, and that the seat of Gov
eminent should not be surrendered to Pro Sla-
very influences. The terms of the Era are as
liberal as can possibly be afforded BY any pa.
per published IN this city, relying upon its sub.
scription list alone for support.
