The facilities afforded us to produce tho
rough national newspaper arc greater than are
enioyed by the publishers OF any other journal
in the country for the following reasons:

the undersigned. Some Of the ablest writers
IN the United States are frequently employed 10

7Ih. Our Postal arrangements, so important

Nhich they are subject during the year.
s.h. The great interests represented BY the
4cveral bureaus of the Interior Department

I.rcAN. Especially shall We keep our Agricu.
,ural readers, throughout the country, posted
,p couCerLing everything OF public interest in

ip1 ali aahN pnp al
tue highest scientific institutions in the nation,
40 shall avail ourselves of the advantages ofits
Bureaus of Art and Science to enrich our col

ives of every branch Of business taxed by tn

10 enhance the value Of the columns of the Re
PUBLICAN in some manner.
l2th. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
.enta,iyes of every foreign nation on the earth
IRE found here, and cannot act OF move unher
aided by our active attaches
Above, In II general form, We have givei
',rc,ue reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
iuUIished in the City of Washington, possesse
greater facilities for obtaining all the import
ant news Of the day, OF every description, thar
auy other journal In the United States. Tn
highest evidence Of this, which relieves Us from
the charge of cgotism, Is the fact witnessed al
over the nation daily (by those who care to o
serve ID that the leading, widest circulated
and most influential journals in the Unite
states gather the most important Departments
anr .f mi
operations, official and otherwise, from III
columns OF the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Thi
Is true In face Of the well known fact tha
many of the propretOrs Of those Journals pa
enormous snms of money yearly to Asst
CIa,ed Press" and Especial Correspondents,
so called, to furnish them with the currei
news of the day. We regret 10 say, IN TIL
connection, that those correspondents do M
always inform their employers that they al
not the authors of many of the most importat
dispatches they send over the wires al an t,
pensu of four cents pr rOrd, by crediting thei
10 tho NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they in iu
tice should do. We especially think the
should credit us when they encroach 20 far
to telegraph uur editorials, bodily, as bein
heir VLrn compositions. However, We beg pa
don for this complaining depression. aud wi
not deny that We observe, IN all this uniai
ness, compliment 10 our Iuuu-lrN on Tue pa
nj these Plagiarist7.
