propristors ofthe DAILY and WrrxLr NATIONAL
RsrurrIcAx, to make the latter more thorough
and reliable newspaper for Families and Clubs
throughout the country, than 1t has been here |
tofore. In making this statement we do not
wish to be understood as apologizing, in any |
manner, for the past conduct Of the WnsxLr
REPUBLICAN,. It has been worth all that we
have charged for 1t. Prosperity In the world,
for which We are partly indebted, and exceed
ipely thankful, to our numerous patrons, war
rants rs in promising 70 make still better
paper ofthe WEEKLY RHPuBIIcAs In the future,
OF tbs sdme price, than Il 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
a general way, to indicate what we propose
doing, assuring the public that We shall use
our utmost endeavors to perform faithfully oil
that we promise.
The facilities afforded us to produce tho
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
iugton City, the seat Of the National Govern
ment. 4 -D.r
Cd. THE President OF THE UNITED STATES
one paper as the official medium Of all the Exc
cutiye Departments Of the Government, we take
pleasure In stating that he has done us the
honorto 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
corps of able RKPoRTERs, whose duty 1t "a
10 furnish the daily records Of those high tri-
bunals.
4th. Washington being the Headquarters for
all the operations Of the, Army and Navy OF
the United States, by virtue Of the relations ex.
isting between the Government and the SA.
rtoSAI REPUBLICAN, referred to above, nothing
that is proper to publish, of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall 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 field for the Journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention OF
the undersigned. Some OF the ablest writers
In the United States are frequently employed to
discuss the subject In the REPUBLICAN.
,th. Our Postal arrangements, SO important
10 the people of every community, be It large
or small especially to those who can read and
write. are duly noted in the several changes TO
which they arc subject during the year.
sth. The great interests represented by the
several Bureaus OF the Interior Department
will not be overlooked In the WEEKLY REPUD.
LIcAS. 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. II
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 scientifc institutions In the nation,
we shall avail ourselves Of the advantages OF its
Bureaus of Art and Science to enrich our col
umus for the instruction of our readers.
llth. Washington being the central city oil
The Union, the learned and influential men o
every class in society congregate here--miiitary
naval, and civil officers OF the General ant
State, and territorial govcrnments-represen enta
tiyes of every branch of business taxed by th'
Internal Revenue eLaws-deputations Of cltizen
for purposes of State, and politicians and theo
logians of every stripe, who come In HOOKS
some for Office, some for business, and soin'
for pleasure. Each and all oi these c H,het
and goers Increase our labors, and contribute
10 enhance the value of the columns OF the RE
PUBLICAN In some manner.
18th. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
sentatiyes of every foreign nation on the earth
ore found here, and cannot act or move unher
aided by our active attaches.
Above, In q general form, we have givel
tuelpe reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
published In the City of Washington, possesse
greater facilities for obtaining all The import
ant news Of the day, OF every description, thai
apy other journal In the United States. Tn
highest evidence of this, which relieves vs. from
the charge of egotism, Ia the fact witnessed al
over the nation daily (by those who care to o
serve it) that the leading, widest circulated
and most influential journals In the Unite
States gather the most important Departments
news. especially of our military and nava
tai nd nth hal
columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Thi
Ia true in fac. OF the well known fact tina
many of the proprietors Of those Journals pa
enormous sums of money yearly to " Asso
cia;ed Press' and Especial Correspondents,
so called, to furnish them with the curren
news of the day. We regret to say, In thi
connection. that those correspondents do no
always inform their employers that they ar
not the authors of many of the most importan
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex
pense of four cents pr irord, By crediting then
10 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they in jus
tice should do. We especially think the
should credit us when they encroach so far a
to telegraph our editorials, bodily, as beln
their o,cn compositions. However, we beg pal
don for this complaining depression, and wi
not deny that we observe, in all this unfair
ness, a compliment to our industry on the par
of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support a
earnestly as possible the civil and militar
policy Of the present Administration, Will
that policy Is for FREEDOM in Its broadest an
highest sense, and agat,tst Sldv ~. When N
present, or any other administration, pursIes
different course the question Of human slavery
are shall oppose il Nth Nigh: and main, Go
helping us, PATRONAGE on NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news Of the da
will always receive prompt and careful atten
ton.
The Literary Department Of the REPuBLIcA
will he supplied with choice, selected and or
ginal prose and poetry, from the ablest writer
In this country and In Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to cnte
the columns of the REPUBLICAN that will often
the susceptiblities Of the most refined.
In brief, we purpose making the REPuBLIcA
FAMILY Newspaper OF the highest and moi
complete order.
1t Is but proper and Just IN our readers to sa
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corr
Of Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL Rl
PUBLICAN are thorough, practical newspap'
