tofgrt. In making this statement we do not
wish to be understood as apologizing, In any

REPUBLICAN. It has been worth all that We
have charged for II. Prosperity in the world,
for which we are partly indebted, and exceed.
ingly thankful, to our numerous patrons, war
rants us In promising TO make a still better
paperpf the WEEKLY REPUBLICAN In the future,
at the sdms price, than It has been in the past.
IN making this announcement We do not IN.
tend to enter into an extended detail statement
or all the improvements we shall make, but, In
n 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 tho
rough national newspaper are greater than are
.nIoyed by the publishers Of any other journal
in tho country, for the following reasons:
1st. The REPUBLICAN is published at Wash
lngton City, the seat of the National Govern
nent.
I'd. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act of Congress to select
o,,s paper as the official medium Of all the Exc
cutlve Departments OF the Government, We take
pleasure In stating that he has done u the
honor to select the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN under
the law of Congress referred to.
Sd. The Congress and the Supreme Court aud
the Court of claims of the United States, sever
ally sit here during each year, and We employ
a corps of able REPoRrEks, whose duty 1t Is
10 furnish the daily records of those high trl-
hupals.
ith. Washington being the Headquarters for
slI the operations OF the Army and Navy OF
the United States, BY virtue OF the relations cX-
sting between the Government and the SA.
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 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 ablcst writers
IN the United States are frequently employed 10
discuss the subject in the REPUBLICAN.
1th. Our Postal arrangements, So important
- 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 10
which they are subject during the year.
>th. The grcat interests represented by the
several bureaus of the Interior Department
will not he overlooked in the WEEKLY RsPrB'
LicAN. Especially shall We keep our Agricul.
iural readers, throughout the country, posted
ny concerning everything ut puolic interest IN
the Agricultural Bureau.
Qth. The Patent Office, being within i've
minutes walk of our office of publication, 1t
will be an easy matter, as 1t will be pleasure
Tor US to keep the Inventor and Artizan advised
of all improvements.
10th. The Smithsonian Institute, established
In Washington, having already become one o
the highest scientific institutions in the nation
We shall avail ourselves OF the advantages of it
bureaus of Art and Science to enrich our col
umus for the instruction OF our readers.
llth. Washington being the central city o
the Union, the learned and influential men u
every class in society congregate here military
naval, and civil officers of the General ant
state and territorial governments -representa
lives of every branch of business taxed by tn,
Internal Revenue oLaws-ieputations of citizens
tor purposes of State. and politicians and theo
'vrians of every stripe, who come in hocks,
some for Office some for business, and some
for pleasure Each and all Of these mers
and goers increase our labors. and contribute
"a enhance the value of the columns OF the RE-
PUBLICAN in some manner.
18th The official, civil, and unCiyil repre-
scutatives of every foreign pation ON the earth
are found here, and cannot act or move unher
aided by our active attaches.
Above, in q general form, we have givet
tr,lre reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
published in the City of Washington. possesses
greater facilities for obtaining all tue import
ant news of the day, OF every description, thar
any other journal in the United States. Tn
nighest evidence Of this, which relieves Us frou
The charge Of egotism, is the fact witnessed al
uygr the nation daily (by those who care to o
-erye 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 nara
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
enormous sums of money yearly to " Asso
Glazed Press" and especial Correspondents,
20 called, 10 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 lmportan
dispatches they send over the wires at an tex
persc Of four cents p = trori, by crediting then
10 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In jus
tlre gaould do. We especially think the
should credit US when they encroach SO far a
10 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as beir
tls,r olcn conpesitions. However, we beg pal
don for this complaining depression, aud wi
not deny that We observe, in all this unfaiI
ness, a compliment to our industry on the par
Of lhese plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support a
earnestly rs possible the clNll and mllitar
policy OF the present Administration, Will
that policy is for FREEDOM in its broadest an
highest sense, and dgaU.a S'aV ~. When u
present. or any other adm m'strdtio", pHrs'"s
,'G,r,,i course on the question Of human. sidvers
ne shdI oppose with our Nigh and ssktn, 90
iulpny us, PATRONAGE OR NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news OF the da
will always receive prompt and careful atteli
tlon,
The Literary Department Of the REpUYLICA
will be supplied with choice, selected and or
Cinal prose and poetry, from the ablest writer
III this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to entc
the columns Of the REPU BLICAS that will often
he susceptibilties of the most refined.
Ia Ur!ci, we purpose making the REPUDLiCA
FAMILY Newspaper of the highest and mos
complete order.
