nROsPE eTUs OF THE WEEKLY
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.

L NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
The undersigned commenced, in the month of
December last, the publication, In this city, of
aweeky newspaper, called the National Re1,us-
ltcdn.
It is, printed on a large sheet, twenty seven
by forty.two inches, and is furnished atthe 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 sub.
scrbers. .r.yr ,y.,. - g.
It will give full reports OF the proce edings 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., rs well rs 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 "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
war for the Union.
In politics, tho paper will be Republican, sus.
tanning the Administration of Mr.. Lincoln, but
disclaiming, however, any prstension to be the
The is no other Republican paper in the Dis
trict of Columbia, or in the vicinity of 1t, 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
administration of the Government upon Repub
lican principles will explode the misrep presen.
| tatiOns which have. made those principles so
d'stasteful to the South.
But it 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 a journal which will discuss national
politics from Il national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by
any overpowering pressure Of local interest.
