RrpupIIrAN TO make the latter more thorough
and reliable newspaper for Families and Clubs
throughout the country, than II has been here
toforc. In making this statement We DO NOT

manner, for the past conduct OF the WEEKLY

for which we are partly indeoted, anu exceed
insly thankful, to our numerous patrons, war
rants ms In promising to make still better
nerof the WEEKLY REPUBLICAN In the future,
a. he same price, than II has been In the past.
In making this announcement we do not in
tend TO enter into an extended detail statement
Of all the improvements we shall make, but, in
general way, to indicate what we propose
doing, assuring the public that We shall use
our utmost endeavors to perform faithfully all
that we promise.
rough national newspaper are greater than are
enjoyed by the publishers OF any other journal
In The country. for the following reasons:
lst. The REPUBLICAN Is published at Wash
ipgtou City, the seat OF the National Govern
nent.
I'd. THE President OF THE UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act Of Congress to select
one Daper as the official medium OF all the Exc
cutive Departments Of the Government, we take
pleasure in stating that he has done us the
honorto select the NATIONAL. REPUBLICAN under
tho law of Congress referred to.
I'd. The Congress and the Supreme Court and
tho Court of claims Of the United States, sever
ally sit here during each year, and we employ
corps Of able REPORTERS, whose duty 1t Is
10 furnish the daily records OF those high tr-
bunas.
4th. Washington being the Headquarters for
nil the operations OF the Army and Navy of
The United States, by virtue Of the relations ex-
ting between the Government and the NA-
rtoSAL REPrBtIcAN, referred to above, nothing
That is proper to publish, OF Military aud Naval
5Ih. Our "Foreign Relations" now more
important than ever, will be the subject OF our
constant and paternal care.
9Th The Finances of the Government, which
always affords an ample field for the journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention of
the Undersigned. Some of the ablcst writers
in the United States are frequently employed TO
discuss the subject In the REPUBLIcAN.
Ith. Our Postal arrangements, SO important
10 the people Of every community, be 1t large
or small, especially to those who can read and
write, are duly noted in the several changes to
which they are subject during the year.
Sth. The great interests represented by the
several bureaus Of the Interior Department
will not he overlooked In the WEEKLY REpuB'
LlcAS. 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 Office, being within five
minutes walk of our office Of publication, 1t
will be an easy matter, as 1t will be 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.
llth. 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-represeht
tives of every branch of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-deputation OF citizens
for purposes of State, and politicians and theo-
logians If every stripe, who come In aocks,
some for office, some for business, and some
for pleasure. Each and all of these c>mers
and gocrs increase our labors, and contribute
10 enhance the value OF the columns Of the Re-
PUBLICAN in some manner.
l2th. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
septativcs Of every foreign nation on the earth
are found here, and cannot act or move unher-
aided hy Our active attaches.
Above, in general form, We have given
f,relrs reasons why the NATIONAL REPuBLICAS,
published in the City of Washington, Possesses
!,reatcr facilities for obtaining all the import
mt news of the day, OF every description, than
any other journal in the United States. The
highest evidence of this, which relieves rs from
IA, ,harEc Of egotism, Is the fact witnessed all
over The nation daily (hy those who care to oh
strvc IN that the leading, widest circulated,
.ul most influential journals in the United
states gather the most important Departmental
Lvws. especially of our military and naval
operations, official and otherwise, from the
columns OF the NATIONAL REPCBLICAS. This
Is trGc in face Of the well known fact that
ulany of the proprictors of those Journals pay
enormous sums Of money yearly TO "Asso'
dated Press" and Especial Correspondents, -
80 called, to furnish them with the current
news oC the day. We regret TO say, in this
connection, that those correspondents do not
a!way, inform their employers that they arc
U0t the authors of many of the most important
aIspatches they send over the wires at an eX'
punsc Of fyhr ceats PR lcord by crediting them
tnlLe NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
ticc should do We especially think they
should credit us when they encroach so far a.
10 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
hS.r QUA compositions. However, VIC beg par
don for this complaining digression, and will
not deny that we observe, In all this unfair
ness, compliment TO our Industry on the par
If these pla6iarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support a
earnestly Us possible the civil and militar
roliry Of the present Administration, whil
Ihll Iocy is for FREEDOM in Its broadest AN
highest sense, and dydntt Stdv ~. When N

Tie domestic and personal news Of the da
will always receive prompt and careful atten
ton.
he Literary Department Of the REPUBLICAN
will be supplied with choice, selected and ori
ginll prose aud poetry, from the ablest writer
IN this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to ente
lilo columns of the REPUBLICAN that will often
'un Suscepubllties of the most refined.
70 briei, we purpose making the REPrRI.icA

,0mplele order.
