18th, The official, civil, and unclvil repre-
sentatives Of every foreign nation ON the earth
are found here, and cannot act or move unher
aided BY our active dttaehes.
Above, in a general form, We have give
tYelis reasons why the NATIONAL REPuBLICAs
published in the City Of Washington, possessc
greater facilities for obtaining all the Import
ant news OF the day, OF every description, tha
any other Journal In the United States. tn
highest evidence Of this, which relieves us fror
the charge Of egotism, is the fact witnessed al
over the nation daily (by those who care to o
serve 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 nava
operations, official aud otherwise, from III
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 "Assc
cla,cd Press" and especial Correspondents,
.o called, to furnish them with the curreu
news of tue day. We regret 10 say, iu thI
connection, that those correspondents do lC
always inform their employers that they al
not the authors Of many Of the most importar
dispatches they send over the wires at an e,
pcnse of four cents pr rord, by crediting thel
10 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In ju
lice should do. We especially think the
should credit US when they eneroach 30 far d
to telegraph our editorials, bodily, as bein
their ou1i compositions. However, we beg pa
don for this complaining digresslon, and wi
not deny that we observe, In all this unfai
ness, compliment to our industry on the pa
of these pllgiarists.
Politically The REPUBLICAN, will support
earnestly as possible the civil and militar
policy Of the present Administration, Will
that policy is for FREEDOM in Its broadeSt an
highest sense, and dgdust Slav ~. When
present, or any other administration, plrsnes
d,gersnt course on the question Of human sldvers
ne .hd!! oppose il uith our mt9h and main, 90
hping 10, PATRONAGE or 40 PATApSAGE.
The domestic and personal news Of the da
will always receive prompt and careful atteu
ton.
The Literary Department of the REPUBLICA
will be supplied with CHOICE, selected and or
giual prosu and poetry, irou the abest writeI
in this country and In Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to ent,
The columns of the REPUBLICAN that will often
the susceptlbillties Of the most refined.
In brief, we purpose making the REPUBLIC
FAMILY Newspaper of the highest and mo
complete order.
