The facilities stforded us to produce tho
ronVh national newspaper arc greater than are
sn,oyed By the publishers Of any other Journal
In the country, for tho following ressons:
lst. The RErU sLIcAS Is published al WASH
iugtou City, the seat OF tho National Govern
ment.
"a. THE PRrsipESr OF TIE CS,rKp STATES

ally sit here during each year, and we employ
corps OF able REroRTsAs, whose duty 1t lie
10 furnish the daily records OF those high tri-
eupsls.
tth. Washington being the Headquarters for
all lhu operations OF the Army and Navy Of
the United States, by virtue Of the relations ex-
ltiug between the Government and the Ma
TI,sAL REpr pIICAS, referred " above, nothing
that is proper TO publish, OF Military and Naval
oIsrations, can or shall escape our notice.
9TH Our "foreign Relations," now more
Important than ever, will be the subject OF our
constant and pstcrual care.
9th Tho finances OF the Government, which
always affords an ample field for the journalist,
shall meet with tho most careful attention Of
the uudursigned. Some Of the ablest writers
in the United states are frequently employed 10
discuss the subject In tho REPUBLICAN.
7th. Our Postal arrangements, so important
to the people Of every community, be II large
ur email, especially to those who can read and
,rito, arc duly noted in the several changes to
r.hch they arc subject during the year.

several bureaus OF tho Interior Department
will not ~ overlooked In the WEEKLY REPrB
LIcAS. Especially shall We keep our Agricul-
tursl readers, throughout the country, posted
up cuucerLing everything Vi public Interest In

9th. Tho Patent Office being within dive
minutes walk Of our office Of publication, 1t

for US to keep the Inventor and ArtiEan advised
of all Improvements.
10Th. Tho Smithsonian Institute, established
IN Washington, having already become one Of
the highest scientific institutions in the nation,
rs shall avail ourselves Of the advantages Of its
Bureaus Of Art aud Science 10 enrich our col
umns for the instruction Of our readers.
llth. Washington being the central city OF
the Union, the learned aud influential men
avery Classin society congreIate here military,
naval, and civil cfficers Of the General and
State, and territorial governments -representa-
livea Of every branch Of business taxed by the
Internal he, euue Lsws-tuputstio Of ciizens
for purposes Of State, and politicians and theo
logians OF every stripe, who come In focks
some for office, some for business, and som

and goers increase our labor-. and eontribut,
Lo enhance the value of the eoluinns of tho Ks
PUBLICAN in sotne manner.
l2lh. The official, civil and unclril repre-
seutatlves of every foreign nation on the earth
are funud here, aud cannot set or move unher
aided by our active oftdches.
Above, III general form, VIC have glver
taelrc rCabOps why the NATIONAL REPCBLlLAs
published in the City Of Washington, ,possesse
:ruatcr facilities for obtaining all the import
hnt news ul the day, OF every description, than
any uIlpr jnurna! iu the United States. Ih
higbcet evidence Of THE which relieves us from
Tue ChuI.G OF tgOtlbtD, lh lilo IdCt al
uver the nation daily (by those who care to OF
serve it) that the leading, widest circulated
aud most influential journals in the Unite,
States gather the most important Departmental
news, especially of our military and nava
operations, official and otherwise, from tn
columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. rhi
II true in fac. of the well known fact tha
many Of the proprietors Of those journals pa
enormous sums of money yearly 10 " Asso
GLAZED Press" and especial Correspondents,
go called, TO furnish them with the curren
news OF the day. We regrot 10 say, in thl
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 ey
penso of Jour csHiJ pr rord, by crediting then
10 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they in jus
ticc should TO. We especially think the
should credit US when they encroach SO far a
10 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as ben
lheir O,c1, competitions. However, we beg PAL
don for this complaining dlgression, and wi
not deny that we observe, in all this unfaii
ness, compliment to our industry on tho pal
OF these plagiarists.
Politically the RgPrBLIcAN will support a
earnestly as possible the civil and militsr
,Oliry OF the present Administration, Will
that policy 10 for FREEDOM In Its brosdeet an
highest sense, and dga,,ta Sldv ~. When

Tho Literary department Of the REpCBLICA

in this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, TO cntt
