PROSPECTUS OF THE WEEKLY NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN.
WARRINGTON, d. c., December,

WAsHIsGroY, d. c., December, 1860.
The undersigned have commenced the pubica-
ton, in this city, of a weekly newspaper, called
the National Republican.
1t is printed on large sheet, 27 by AZ inches,
and is furnished at the low prices stated below.
1t will contain all the original matter OF the
daily National Republican, with the exception OF
local news not interesting to country subscribers.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings
of Congress, and of the other departments Of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news of the day, foreign
and domestic, markets, &C., &c, as well as an
original correspondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will re-
ceive special attention, and, in all respects, the
effort will be made to establish the character of
the National Republican as
FAMILY NEwsPAPER.
In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus-
tanning the incoming Administration OF Mr.. Lin
coin, but dsclaiming, however, any pretension
to be the organ OF the President elect.
There is no othor Republican paper in the
District of Columbia, or in the vicinity of it, and
it Is believed that recent events have opened to
such o paper an important sphere of useful ef-
fort. The time has come, when the actual ad-
minstration Of the Government upon Republican
principles will explode the misreprescn ntations
which have made those principles 80 distastefu
TO the South.
But it is not only here, and in this vicinity
that the projectors of the National Republican
hope to make it useful. To the whole country
they offer a journal which will discuss nationa
politics from a national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any
overpowering pressure of local interest.

Prospectus of the National Republican.

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily press OF the
National Metropolis, we have embarked in the
enterprise of supplying the citizens of the District
of Columbia with q daily publication, under the
title of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN"
In its political department. this journal Will
advocate and defend the principles of the Repuo-
lican party, and endeavor to disabuse the puohc
mind OF groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against it, by the false accusations
Of its enemies Having the utmost confidence
that the administration Of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield il a cordial, but not servile support. In
the great issue that is likely to be made with his
administration, by the enemies Of the Republican
party, the people Of Washington and the District
of Columbia have more at stake than the peopl"
Of any other portion of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lincolns administra-
ton will be synonymous with maintaining the in
tegrity Of the Federal Union against the macbin-
atons of those who would rend 1t asunder No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that it is fairly forced upon them
We feel confident therefore, that in yielding to
the administration of Mr.. Lincoln a cordial sup
port, we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majSity of the people of this District and vcin-
ity.
1t is not our design, however, to make the
National. Republican a mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium of general and local
news it shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions of local policy, and advo-
cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity of the city, and TO the advance
ment OF the moral and material welfare of its
inhabitants.
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper will Immediately make
its appearance, and will then speak for itself.
1t will be published every afternoon, and de-
lvered to city subscribers at six cents per week
Mail subscribers, $3.50 year, payable in ad
vance.
The publication Office is at the corner Of lnd
| ana avenue and Second street.
