C. ruGiPKcrob or tbx eighth volume or thx NATIONAL XBA. O. BAILEY, EDITOR AMD MOPRICTOR. JOHN O. WHITTIER, CORRESPONDING EDITOR. WASHINGTON, D. 0. The National Era is a weekly newspaper, devoted to Literature and Polities. In Literature, it sims to unite the Beautiful with the True, and to make both immediately subservient to the practioal purposes of every day life. In Polities, it advocates the Rights of Man, and the Equality of Rights, and opposes what ever violates or tends to violate them, whether this be Involuntary Personal Servitude, Civil Despotism. Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legis lation, tho Sttifishnoss of Capital, the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression of a Majority, or the Exactions of Party. It holds no fellowship with the Whig and Democratic organizations, believing that the main isauos on which they have boon arrayed against each other are obsolete or settled, and that they are now chiefly nsod by the Sectional Interest of Slavery, to impair the love of Lib erty natural to tho American mind, and to subjugate the American Pcoplo to its rule. Dis claiming all connection with them, it yet sym Eathises with those of their adherents who are oneutly seeking through them to advanoo the substantial interests of the country, although it mudfc bolieve that they ha7e not choson the better way. It is a supporter of the Independent Democ racy, which holds that the Truths of the Dec laration of Independonoe are practical, that in tnoir light the Constitution of the United States is to bo interpreted, that to them the laws and institutions and usages of tho coun try should be conformed?a Party, whose motto ii, Union, not for the sake of Union, but for. the sake of Freedom and Progress; and Law, not for the 6ake of Law, but for the Protection of Human Rights and Interests? the enly Bure foundation of order and concord. In no sense is it the organ of a Party, or a mere Party Paper, but absolutely " free and independent," claiming to speak " by author ity'' for nobody except its editor, and recogni sing no authority in any quarter to prescribe its course and policy. The Eighth Volume of the Era will com mence on the first of January ensuing, and be enlarged by tho addition of four columns.. We have neglected no means that could promise to make it an agreeable companion for the House hold, and an effioient oo-adjutor to the enlight ed Politician. It haB scoured able correspond ents at home and abroad, and no journal in the country can surpass the Era as it respects contributors to its Literary Department The Era publishee condonsed reports of the proceedings of Congress, explains movements in that body, the causes of whioh do not always lie upon the surface, and from its position is enabled to koep a oonstaot watch upon the ac tion of the Federal Government in relation to all questions at issue between Liberty and Slavexy. Tho only journal at the seat of the Federal Government, representing the Anti-Slavery Sentiment of the Republic, while the Pro-Sla Terr Sentiment is represented here by four daily papors, nearly all of thom being liberally sustained by Governmental patronage, it aske the support of all who believe, in sincerity, that the Union was formed to secure the blessings of Liberty, and not to perpetuate the curso oi Slavery.

I shall iseue, on the 2d day of January en suing, the Daily National Era, a Political and Literary Newspaper. In Politiu, it will advocate the Rights of Mao, and the ICquality of Kighte, and oppose whatever violates or tends to violate them, whether this be Involuntary Personal Servi tude, Civil Despotism, Spiritual Absolutism, Class Legation, the Siilflohness of Capital, the Tyranny of Combination, the Oppression of a Majority, or the Kxantions of a Party. It will hold do fellowship with the Whig and Democratic organization?, believiog that the main itsues on which they have been ar rayed against eaoh other are obsolete or settled, and that they aro now ohiefly used by the Seo tional Interest of Slavery, to impair the lore of Liberty natural to the American mind, and to * subjugate the American People to its rule. Dis claiming all oonnoction with them, it will yet sympathise with those of their adherents who are honestly seeking through them to advanoe the substantial interests of the oountry, although it must bclioTe that they have hot ohoeen the better way. It will be a supporter of the Independent Democracy, which holds that tho Truths of the Declaration of Independence are practical, that in their light the Constitution of the United States is to be interpreted; that to them the laws and institutions and usages of the oountry should be conformed?a Party, whose motto is. Unton, not for the take of Union, bnt for the nke of Freedom and Progress; and Law, not | to* the sake of Law, bat for the protection of DAILY NATIONAL ERA. G. BAILEY, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. ? VOL. I. 4 WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, AUGUST 5, 1864. NO. 185. Human Rights and Intercuts?the only eare foundation of order and oonoord. In no sense will it be the organ of a Party, or a mere Party Paper, but absolutely "free and independent," claiming to speak by "au thority " for nobody exeopt it* editor, and rec ognising no autbonty in any quarter to pre scribe its eouree and policy. In Literature, it will aim to unite the Beau tiful with the Trne, and to make both immedi ately subservient to the praotical purposes of j evory-day life. Able correspondents, at home and abroad, have been secured, and ample provision has been made for its Literary Miscellany. It will publish cqndensed reports of the pro ceedings of Congress, explain movements in that body, the causes of whioh do not always lie upon the surface, and from its position be able to keep a constant watch upon the action of the Federal Government in relation to all questions at issue between Liberty and Slavery. The extensive subscription of the Weetiy Era, which, during the year about to close, has reaohed the number of twenty-eight thousand, must make it an eligible medium for advertisers. The Daily Era will be issued on a sheet as large as that of the Daily National Intelligencer, on the 2d day of January, 1854, and daily there after, until the 1st of September, 1854, (or long er, should Congress continue in session.) at FIVE DO.LI.AK3 FOR THAT PERIODj and should the result then warrant, the publication will be resumed on the 1st of September following, by the year. As but sixteen days intervene between this and the 2i of January, it is important that subscriptions be forwarded at once. Payment in advance will be invariably re quired. G.

TUB LIVING AGE has been abundantly honored by the approbation of the best judges; it has been pronounced to be soand and vigorous; various and entertaining; foil of spirit and life; uniting the qualities which gratify the scholar, the philosopher, and the man of business, with those which reoom mend it to their wives and children. We shall now endeavor to add to these intrinsic exoellences the greater attractions of Art, and, beginning with 1844, Every Number unit contain an Impression from a beautiful Steel Plate. The 52 Plates a year will alone be worth the price of subscription. This work is made op of the elaborate and stately essays of the Edinburgh, Quarterly, and other Re views; and Dlaclvood i noble criticisms on poetry, his*keen political commentaries, highly wrought tales, and viyid descriptions of rural and mountain scenery; and the eonti ibntions to literature, history, and common life, by the sagacious Spectator, th* sparkling Examiner, the judicious Athenctiim, th? busy ana industrious Literary Gazette, the sensibit and comprehensive Britannia, the sober and respect able Chnetian Ohterver, these are intermixed with the military and naval reminiscences of the Unite* Service, aod with the best articles of the Dublin Uni I vernty, Neir> Monthly, Fraeer't, Tait't,Ainjworth'?, llood i, and Sporting Magazine*, and of Chamber* I admirable Journal. We do not consider it beneatb oar dignity to borrew wit and wisdom from Punch, and, when we think it good enough, make use of the thunder of The Timet. We shall increase our rari I ety by importations from the continent of Europe and from the new growth of the British colonies.
