WAahinpfAu bRiup central n
the Union, the learned and influential men
every classin society congregate here-military,
naval, and civil otficers of the General and
State, snd territorial governments nts-representa-

PUBLICAN In soms manner.
18th. The Official, civil, and uncivil repre-
seniaiives of every foreign nation on the earth
are found here, and cannot act or move unher
aided by our active dftaches.
Above, in a general form, we have given
t,rsle 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, than
any other journal in the United States. tn,
highest evidence Of this, which relieves us from
the charge Of egotism, is the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care to OF
serve iD that 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 thai
many of the propretors of those journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly to "Asso
ciatcd Press'' and Especial Correspondents, y
so called, to furnish them with the current
news of the day. We regret to say, In this
connection, that those correspondents do not
always inform their employers that they are
not the authors of many Of the most Important
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex.
pense Of four cents per ,cord, BY crediting them
to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit us when they encroach so far as
their compositions. However, we beg par.
don for this complaining depression, aud will
not deny that We observe, In all this unfair
ness, a compliment to our Industry on the par,
of these plaglarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support a.
earnestly as possible the civil and military
policy OF the present Administration, while
that policy is for Freedom In its broadest and
highest sense, and d9ai'.a Slav ~. When he
present, or any Other administration, ptirSles a
dWtrnl course on me qnsNion 81 handn slavery,
Ie shall oppose II .Cith oar nigh. aud main, God
hipiHy as, PATRONAGE OR NO PATRONAGE.
III" domestic and personal news of the day
will always receive prompt and careful stten-
tiOn.
The Literary Department of the REPUBLICAN
will be supplied with choice, selected and ORR
gnal prose aud poetry, from the ablest writers
in this country and In Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to enter
the columns Of the REPUBLICAN that will offend
the susceptbilities Of the most refined.
In brief, we purpose making the RRPuBLIcAS
u FAMILY Newspaper of the highest and most
Complrt" order.
u il Int proper and just to our readers to say
tnat the Publishers, Editors, aud entire corps
"l Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL Rr.
rrDLICAS are thorough, practical NEWSPAPER
men in the broadest sonse of the term. Tue
principal Editor, and his chief Assistant, have

our own trumpet" So ii is. But, good reader
"" hnve'a right TO blow II, for we have earned
t'lnI right; besides, you are entitled to know
