doing, assuring the pubic that We snali use
our utmost endeavors to perform faithfully all
that we promise.
The facilities afforded us 10 produce tho
rough national newspaper are greater than are
enjoyed BY the publishers oil any other Journal
In the country, for the following reasons:
LIST. The REPUBLICAN Is published at Wash
lngton City, the scat Of the National Govern
ment.
cd. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act OF Congress to select
o1ie paper as the official medium OF all the Exc
cutive Departments Of the Government, we take
pleasure In stating that he has done US the
honor to select the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN under
the law of Congress referred to.
Sd. The Congress and the Supreme Court and
the Court Of claims OF the United states, sever
ally sit here during each year, and we employ
| O corps OF able kEPORTERs, whose duty II Is
to furnish the daily records OF those high tri-
buuals.
4th. Washington being the headquarters Tor
all the operations OF the Army and Navy OF
the United States, by virtue Of the relations ex-
listing between the Government and the Ma
TIosAL REPUBLICAN, referred TO above, nothing
that is proper to publish, OF Military and Naval
operations, can or snail escape our notice.
9Th. Our Foreign Relations" now mere
important than ever, will be the subject OF our
constant and paternal care.
9th. The Finances OF the Government, which
always affords an ample Held Tor the journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention oil
the undersigned. some OF the abiest writers
in the United States are frequently employed to
discuss the subject In the REPUBLICAN.
7th. Our fostai arrangements, SO important
to tho people oil every community, DC IL large
or small, especially 70 those VINO can read ana
write, are duly noted In the several changes TO
which they are sub1ect during the year.
9Th. Inc great interests represented ny tne
several Bureaus OF the Interior department
VIII not DC overlookea IN .he atK n hsrus
LIcAN. Especially shall we keep our Agricul-
tural readers, throughout the country, posted
, up concerning everything OF public interest In
the Agricultural Bureau.
9th. The Patent ONCE, being within i've
minutes walk Of our Office OF publication, 1t
will be an easy matter, as II VIII DC pleasure
for us to keep the inventor and Artizan advised
Of all improvements.
10th. The Smithsonian Institute, established
In Washington, having already become one Of
the highest scientific institutions In the nation,
we shall avail ourselves OF the advantages OF Its
Bureaus Of Art and Science to enrich our COL
umns for the instruction OF our readers.
18th. Washington being the central city OF
the Union, the learned and influential men
every class In society congregate here--military,
naval, and civil officers Of the General and
State, and territorial governments representa-
lives Of every branch OF business taxed 6y the
Internal Rev enue Laws-1eputation OF citizens
for purposes of State, and politicians and theo-
logians Of every stripe, who come In Hooks,
some for office, some Tor business, ana some
for pleasure. Each and all OF these corners
: and goers increase our labors, and contribute
to enhance the value of the columns Of the Re-
PUBLICAN in some manner.
18th. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
sentativcs of every foreign nation on the earth,
are found here, and cannot act or move unher-
aided by our active attaches.
Above, In general form, we have given
trelye reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
G published In the City OF Washington, possesses
greater facilities for obtaining all the import,
ant news OF the day, OF every description, than
any other Journal In the United States. The
highest evidence of this, which relieves US from
the charge OF egotism, Is the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care TO oh
serve it) tfat the leading, widest circulated,
and most influential journals IN the United
States gather the most Important departmental
news, especially. Of our military and naval
operations, official and otherwise, from the
columns of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. This
10 true In face or the well known TACT that
/, many of the proprietors OF those journals pay
' enormous sums or money yearly to Asso,
cated Press" and Especial Correspondence
SO called, to furnish them with the current
news OF the day. we regret to say, In this
connection, that those correspondents DO moi
+ always inform their employers that they are
d not the authors OF many OF the most important
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex'
y pense Of four cents pr pord, by credlting them
! TO tho NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit us when they encroach so far az
to telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their own compositions. However, we beg par
don for this complaining DEPRESSION, and will
not deny that we Observe In all this unfair
