The facilities afforded us to produce a tho
rough national newspaper are greater than are
enjoyed by the publishers OF any other Journal

a corps Of able REPoRTERs, whose duty 1t is
TO furnish the daily records of those high tr-
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 Ma
TIoSAL 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 mare
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.
9Th. 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 RRPuB

in Washington, having already become one ol
the highest scientific institutions in the nation

llth. Washington being the central city oi
the Onion, the learneai and influential men o
every class in society congregate here.-military

tives of every branch of business taxed by tht
Internal Revenue eLaws-jeputations of citizent

TO enhance the value of the columns of the Re-
PUBLICAN In some 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-
ulded by our active attaches.
Above in q general form, we have given
trelve reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
published in the City Of Washington, possesses
greater facilities for obtaining all the import
ant news OF the day, OF every description, thar
highest evidence of this, which relieves VS. from
the charge of egotism, is the fact witnessed Al
over the nation daily (by those who care TO OF
serve il that the leading, widest circulated
and most influential journals in the United
States gather the most important Departments
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 proprictors OF those journals pa,
YEARLY to - AsSO
ciated 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 ,rord, 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
10 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as ben
their opn compositions. However, We beg par
don for this complaining depression, and will
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 o.
earnestly as possible the civil and militar!
policy OF the present Administration, whi
that policy is for FREEDOM In Its broadest ant
highest sense, and against Sldv ~. When n
present, or any other administration, purSies
different course on The question Of h,0ndn sldvery
Ne shall oppose Il ,pih our nigh. and main, 90,

The domestic and personal news of the da,
will always receive prompt and careful atten
ton.
The Literary Department of the REPuBLIcA,
will be supplied with choice selected aud ori
ginal prose and poetry, from the ablest writer
In this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to ente
the columns of the REPUBLICAN that will often,

In briei, we purpose making the REPrBLIcA!
aFAMILY Newspaper of the highest and mos
complete order.
Il, ia but proper and just to our readers to ga
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corp

prBrIcAS are thorough, practical newspape
men In the broadest sOnse of the term. Tn
