TBE WEEKLY NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,,

for which we are parity inoepteo, anu oxceco- |
Iugly thankful, to our numerous patrons, war
rants Us in promising 10 make still better
rsper ofthe WEEKLY RrruB1icAN In the future,
rt p,e same price, than II has been In the past /
In making this announcement We do not In
tend 10 enter into an extended detail statement
Of sll the improvements we shall make, but, in
o 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.
The facilities afforded US to produce q tho
rough national newspaper are greater than are
in the country, for the following reasons:
lst. The REPUBLICAN IL published at Wash |
ington City, the seat Of the National Govern |
ment.
I'd. THE PRESIDENT or TIE UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act Of Congress to select
one paper as the official medium Of all the Exc
cutive Departments ofthe 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
q corps of able RRpoRTERs, whose duty It is
TO furnish the daily records Of those high tri-
buuals.
the United States, by virtue Of the relations ex-
isting between the Government and the Ma
TIcSAL REPUBLICAN, referred to above, nothing
that is proper 10 publish, of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
5th. Our Foreign Relations" now more
important than ever, will be the subject Of our
constant and patcrnal 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.
7th. Our Postal arrangements, so important
to 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 be overlooked In the WEEKLY RsPUB.
1rcAS. 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, It
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 ofits
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 oyernments-representa,
tives Of every branch OF business taxed by the
Internal Revenue eLaws-deputations Of citizens
for purposes of State, and politicians and theo-
logians of every stripe, who come In hocks,
soms for Office some for business, and some
for pleasure Each and all Of these c'mers
and goers increase our labors, and contribute
TO enhance the value OF the columns OF the Ne
PUBLICAN in come manner.
18th. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
sentatives of every foreign nation on the earth
are found here, and cannot act or move unher
aided by our active attaches.
Above, in q general form, we have given
tpslye reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
published In the City Of Washington, possesses
greater facilities for obtaining all the import
ant rews of the day, OF every description, thar
any other Journal in the United states. Iht
highest evidence of this, which relieves rs from
the charge Of sgotism, 10 the fact witnessed al
over the nation daily (by those who care to OF
serve it) tLAt the leading, widest circulated
and most influential Journals In the United
States gather the most important Departmental
news, especially of our military and nava
operations, official and otherwise, from tn
columns of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Thi
is true in fac. of the well known fact tina
many Of the proprietors Of those journals pa,
rnurmoTs Gums of money yearly to =" "Asso
cIa,rd pr..ss" and Especial Correspondents,
40 called TO furnish them with the currcn
news OF the day. We regret to say, in TIL
connection, thai those correspondents do no
alwErs ,uform their employers that they ar
not the authors of many Of the most importan
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex
pcnse Of jour ca'.ts PER oord, by crediting then
TO the NATIONAL REPrgIICAS, IA they In JUS
tice should do. We especially think the
should credit us when they cncroach 80 far u
10 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as beinl
their cic,t compositions. However, we beg par
don ',r this complaining depression, and will
not DENY that We observe, in all this unfair
ness, u compliment to our industry on the par
of these PGgiarists.
Politically the RErUBLICAS will support a
earnestly Os possible the civil and militar,
policy of the present Administration, whil
that locy is for FREEDOM in Its broadest ant
high"s' sense, and dgaiyta Sidvr ~. When u
present, or 0'ly Other admin ration, pursues
