Prospectus of the National Republican.

Believing that the time has arrived when the
great Republican party Of the United States ought
to be fairly represented in the daily press of the
National Metropolis, we have embarked In the
enterprise of supplying the citizens Of the District
OF Columbia with daily publication, under the
title Of the "NArIoNAL REPUBLICAN"
In its political department, this journal will
advocate and defend the principles Of the Repub-
lican party, and endeavor to disabuse the public
mind Of groundless prejudices which have been
engendered against 1t, by the false accusations
Of its enemies. Having the utmost confidence
that the administration of Mr.. Lincoln will be
such as to merit our appreciation, we expect to
yield 1t cordial, but not servile support. In
the great issue that is likely to be made with his
administration, by the enemies Of the Republican
party, the people Of Washington and the District
Of Columbia have more at stake than the people
Of any other portion Of our common country. We
believe that to support Mr.. Lincoln's administra-
ton will be synonymous with maintaining the In
tegrity Of the Federal Union, against the machin-
ations of those who would rend 1t asunder. No
one can doubt upon which side of this issue the
people Of Washington will be found, when they
come to realize that it is fairly forced upon them.
We feel confident, therefore, that in yielding to
the administration Of Mr. Lincoln cordial sup
port we shall have the sympathy of an immense
majority Of the people Of this District and vicin-
ity. ....
It is not our design, however, to make the
National Republican mere political paper. We
intend, that as a medium Of general and local
news, 1t shall not be inferior to any other journal
published in this city. We shall pay particular
attention to questions Of local policy, and advo-
| cate such reforms as we may deem essential to
the prosperity Of the city, and to the advance
ment Of the moral and material welfare of its
inhabitants.
We deem it unnecessary, however, to multi
ply promises, as the paper will Immediately make
its appearance, and will then speak for itself.
1t will be published every morning, and de-
livered to city subscribers at six cents per week.
Nail subscribers, $3.50 q year, payable in ad-
| vance.
The publication Office is at the corner Of Indi-
ana avenue and Second street.
