PROSPECTUS OF rHE WEEKLY NATIONAL
-.. .... REPUBLICAN,

HHHE undersigned commenced, In the mo nth
L Of December last, the pub alton, In this
city, o. . weekly newspaper, called the National
Republican. ...H
II Is printed on large sheet, twenty seven By
forty-two inches, and 10 furnished at the low
prices stated below.
It will contain all the original matter of the
daily Natio al Rrpu6iiean, with the exception Of
local news not interesting to country subscribers
II will give full reports Of the proceedings of
Congress q Of the other departments Of the
National Government. n. I.s.-F. a... .
II will contain all the newG 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 character of
the National Republican as a 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 Rpubiiedn 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
disclaming, however, any pretension to he the
organ Of the Tresident.
There is no other Republican paper in the
District of Columbia or in the vicinity Of 1t, and
1t is believed that recent events have opened TO
such a paper an important sphere Of useful
effort. The time has come, when the actual ad-
ministration of the Government upon Republi-
can principles will ex lode the misrepre sen.a-
tons which have made those principles 50 dis
taste full 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 coun ry
they offer ajournal which will discuss national
politics from a national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any
overpowering pr. ssure Of local interest.
