nROS p E GTU q OF THE WEEKLY
L NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.

The undersigned commenced, IN the month of
December last, the publication, In this CITY, Of
aweekly newspaper, called the National Repub.
licdn.
It is printed on large sheet, twenty seven
by forty two inches, and Is furnished at the low
prices stated below.
It viii 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 the 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 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
war for the Union.
In politics. the papor will be Republican, sus
tanning the Administration Of Mr.. Lincoln, but
disclaiming, however, any pretension to be the
organ Of tho President.
The Is no other Republican paper In the Dis.
trict of Columbia, or in the vicinity of II, and
| 1t Is believed that recent events have opened Ia
such II paper An important sphere of useful
administration Of the Government upon Repub.
| lican principles will explode the misrepresen.
| tatiOns which have made those principles SO
distasteful to the South.
| But 1t 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 national
politics from u national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by
any overpowering pressure of local interest.

RThe secession organ in this city

The secession organ in this city
says that the Federal Government will
soon require Kentucky 10 furnish men
and money for the prosecution of the
war. The statement will not be real
lied. The Government at Washington
will ask no men from Kentucky except
such as may voluntarily proffer their
services and ask the privilege ofdefend-
ing the flag Of their country.
As for money, it is enough to say
that the expenses Of the o. s. Govern
ment, whether in peace or in war. will
be borne alike by all the States of the
United States, Kentucky neither FORM
ing nor wishing to form an exception.
