In making this announcement We do mot In
tend to enter into On extended detail statement
Of all the improvements We shall make, but, In
a general way, 20 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 10 produce tho.
rough national newspaper are greater than are
in the country, for the following reasons:
1st. The REPUBLICAN IL published at WASH
ington City, the seat Of the National Govern
ment. '. -
being authorized by an act Of Congress to select
one paper a. the official medium OF all the Exc
cutive Departments Of the Government, wetake
pleasure In stating that he has done US the
honorto select the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN under
the law Of Congress referred to.
Sd. Tho Congress and the Supreme Court and
the Court Of clsims Of the United States, sever
ally sit here during each year, and We employ
a corps of able REPoRTERs, whose duty It "
hunalf.
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 RKPrBLIcAN, referred 70 above, nothing
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
5th. 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.
7th. 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 be overlooked In the WREKLr REPuB.
LIcAx. 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 Ofiice, being within I've
minutes walk Of our office of publication, Ii
will be an easy matter, as It will be pleasure
for US to keep the Inventor and Artizan advised
of all Improvements.
lOth, 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 ceatral city OF
the Union, the learned and influential men o
every class In society congregate here--military,
naval, and civil officers Of the General and
State, and territorial governments representa-.
tives of every branch of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-ieputation 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 som'
for pleasure. Each and all Of these 'mer
and goers increase our labors, and contribute
10 enhance the value OF the columns OF the Re
PUBLICAN in come manner.
lSth. Inc omciai, cNh, anu uneih iePis
sentatiyes 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 giveI
tns,px 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
highest evidence of this, which relieves US from
the charge Of egotism, is the fact witnessed al
over the nation daily (by those who care to ol
serve it) thst the leading, widest circulated
and most influential journals In the unite'
States gather the most important Departments
news, especially Of our military and nava
operations, official and otherwise, from tn
columns OF the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Tbil
is true in fac. OF the we'll known fact tina
many Of the proprietors Of those Journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly to " Asso
ciated Press" aud 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 mo-
always inform their employers that they ar,
not the authors of many Of the most important
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex
pense of four cents pr rord, by crediting then
to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In jus
tice should do. We especially think the,
should credit us when they encroach so far u
10 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as bein,
their oTn compositions. However, we beg par
don for this complaining dgresslon, and will
not deny that We observe, In all this unfair
ue,E. a compliment to our Industry on the par
of these plagisrists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support a
earnestly as possible the civil and miitar,
policy Of the present Administration, Will
that policy is for FREEDOM in Its broadest an,
highest sense, and dgaytst Sidp ~. When M
present, or any Other administration, ptiraps

helping US, PATRONAGE on NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news of the da
will always receive prompt and careful after
tion.
The Literary Department OF the RgpUBLIcA
will be supplied with choice, selected and or
giual prose and poetry, from the ablest write
In this country and In Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, 10 ent
the columns Of the REPUBLICAN that will offer
the suscgp,ibiities of the most refined.
In brief, we purpose making the REPupLIcI
aFAMILY Newspaper Of the highest and INC
complete order.
It's but proper and Just to our readers to s
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire cor
OF Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL r
PUBLICAN are thorough, practical newspap
men In the broadest sonse of the term. 7
