PROSPECTUS OF THE WEEKLY NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN.

TINE undersigned commenced, in the month
l. of December last, the publication, in this
city, OF weekly newspaper, called the National
Republican.
It Is printed on large sheet, twenty. seven bv
forty two inches, and is furnished at the low
prices stated below.
twill 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, ard Of the other departments of the
National Government.
II will contain all the news of the day, foreign
and domestic, markets, &C., &C., as we'll 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 character Of
the National Republican as Family Newspa-
per.
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, the paper will be Republican, sus-
tanning the Administration of Mr. Lincoln, but
disclaiming, however, any pretension to be the
organ Of the Tresident.
There is no other Republican paper in the
District Of Columbia, or in the vicinity of It, and
1t Is believed that recent events have opened to
such paper an important sphere Of useful
effort. The time has come, when the actual ad-
ministration Of the Government upon Republ.
can principles will exf lode the misrepresenta-
tions which have made those principles 80 dis
taste full to the South.
But 1t is not only here, and in this vicinity,
that the projectors Of the National Republican
hope to make 1t useful To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss national
politics from national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any
overpowering pressure of local interest

The President, in his reply, made on the same
day, uses the following language:
"May beg you to consider the difficulties
Of my position, and solicit your kind assist.
ance in it? Our security in the seizng OF
arms for our destruction will amount to nothing
at all, if we never make mistakes in searching
a place where there are none. l shall continue

"help them to erpel the population hostile to
their rights and institutions" meaning by this

troops marching under such a banner"
