SEE PHOTO(s) - COMPLETEORIGINALanti-slavery NEWSPAPER,theNational Era (Washington, DC) datedSept 16, 1859.This original anti-slavery newspaper contains 4 pages of news and editorials devotedto the anti-slavery movement.

This issue contains a news report of a slave being recaptured and returned to his enslaver after being tracked to Cincinnati, OHIO.This issue also contains news of a Sabbathschool for NEGR0ES inRichmond, VIRGINIA
being raided by the powers that be in Richmond. In addition this contains a long report describing the capture of a slave ship by theUS man-of-war "The Dolphin.

The National Era was an abolitionist newspaper published weekly in Washington, D.C., from 1847 to 1860. Gamaliel Bailey was its editor in its first year. The National Era Prospectus stated in 1847:

"While due attention will be paid to Current Events, Congressional Proceedings, General Politics and Literature, the great aim of the paper will be a complete discussion of the Question of Slavery, and an exhibition of the Duties of the Citizen in relation to it; especially will it explain and advocate the leading Principles and Measures of the Liberty Party, seeking to do this, not in the spirit of the Party, but in the love of Truth—not for the triumph of Party, but for the establishment of Truth."

Each number contained four pages of seven (later eight) columns each. The National Era was noted for its large size and unique type. It featured the works of John Greenleaf Whittier, who served as associate editor, and the first publication, as a serial, of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin (1851). It was also the setting for the first publication of Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Great Stone Face". In 1859, after Mr. Bailey's decease, his wife, Margaret Lucy Shands Bailey, served as publisher until the time of its suspension, February 1860.
