n II OS EGTUS OF THE WEEKLY
+ NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.

The undersigned commenced, in the month Of
December last, the publication, in this city, of
weekly newspaper, called the National Ripub.
hcdn.
by forty.two inches, and is furnished at the low
prices stated below.
II will contain all the original matter Of The
daily National Republican, with the exception
of local news not interesting to country sub.
scribers.
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 tho day, foreign
and domestic, markets, &C., &C., as well as an
original correspondence from all parts of the
country. The miscellaneous department will
receive special attention, and, in all respects,
the effort will be made to establish the charac.
ter Of the National Republican as a Family
Newspaper.
Washington being now the central point of
the current military operations, great attention
will be paid to furnishing the readers Of the
National Republican with full, and especially
with accurate, accounts OF the progress of the
war for the Union.
In politics, tho paper will be Republican, sus.
tanning the Administration of Mr.. Lincoln, but
dsclaiming, however, any pretension to be the
organ Of the President.
The is no other Republican paper in tho Dis.
trct of Columbia, or in the vicinity Of it, and
it is believed that recent events have opened to
such paper an important sphere OF useful
effort The time has come, when the actual
administration of the Government upon Repub.
lican principles will explode the misrepresen.
tations which have made those principles so
distastsful to the South.
But 1t is not only here, and in this vicinity
that the projectors of the National Republican
they offer a journal which will dsc uss national
politics from national standpp.ut, md whiC
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by
any overpoWering pressure Of locS, interest.
