Wish to be Understood a. spologizing, In any
manner, for the past conduct Of the wEHKLr

at tAs sqms price, than II has been In the past.
In making this announcement we do not In
tend to enter into an extended detail statement
Of all the improvo meuts we shall make, but, In
. 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.
Tho facilities afforded US to produce tho
rough national newspaper are greater than are
enjoyed by the publishers of any other journal
In the country, for the following reasons:
LIST. Tho REPUBLICAN is published at WASH
ingtou City, the seat Of the National Govern
mert.
cd. TIE President OF TIE UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act Of Congress to select
one paper as the Official medium OF oil the Exc.
cut!ve Departments ofthe Government, we take
pleasure In stating that he has done us the
honorto select the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN under
the law Of Congress referred to.
Sd. The Congress and the Supreme Court and
the Court Of claims Of the United States, sever
ally sit here during each year, and we employ
. corps of able REPORTERS, whose duty It is
to furnish the daily records Of those high trl-
bunsla.
4th. Washington being the Headquarters for
all the operations OF the Army and Navy OF
the United States, by virtue Of the relations ex-
listing between the Government and the ma
TIoyAL REPUBLICAN, referred to above nothing
that 10 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 ablest writer's
in the United States are frequently employed to
discuss the subject In the REPUBLICAN.
"a. Our Postal arrangements, so important
TO the people Of every community, be II large
or small, especially TO those who can read and
write, are duly noted In the several changes to
which they are subject during the year.
sth. The great interests represented by the
several Bureaus Of the Interior Department
will not be overlooked In the WEEKLY RrprB.
LICAS. Especially shall we keep our Agricul-
tural readers, throughout the country, posted
up concerning everything OF public interest in
the Agricultural Bureau.
9th. The Patent Office, being within five
minutes walk of our Office Of publication, It
will be an easy matter, as 1t will be pleasure
for us to keep the Inventor and Artzan advised
Of all improvements.
1Wh. The Smithsonian Institute, established
In Washington, having already become one of
the highest scientific institutions In the nation
we shall avail ourselves Of the advantages of its
Bureaus of Art and Science to enrich our COL
umns for the instruction of our readers.
llth. Washington being the central CITY o,
the Crion, the learned and influential men q
every class in society congregate here -military,
naval, and civil officers of the General and
Stale, and territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
tives OF every branch of business taxed BY the
Internal Revenue Laws-deputations of citizens
Tor purposes of State, and politicians and theo-
logisns of every stripe, who come in flocks.
some for Office, some for business, and some
for pleasure. Each and all Of these corners
and goers increase our labors, and contribute
to enhance the value of the columns of the Re-
PUBLICAN in some manner.
lalh. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
sentatives of every foreign nation on the earth,
art found here, and cannot act or move unher-
aided by our active attaches.
Above, in a general form, we have given
tUelDe reasons why the NATIONAL REPrBIICAS
published in the City OF Washington. Possesses
greater facilities for obtaining all the import
ant news OF the day, Of every description, than
any other iOurAal in the United States. The
highest evidence OF this, which relieve. US from
the charge Of egotism, ia the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care to OBJ
serve it) that the leading, widest circulated,
and most influential journals iu the United
States gather the most important Departmental
news, especially of our military and naval
operations, official and otherwise, from the
columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. This
is true in face Of the well known fact that
many of the proprietors Of those journals pay
enormous sums Of money yearly to "Asso.
ciased Press" and Especial Correspondents, -
30 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 pr tcord, by crediting them
to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In ms
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit us when they encroach so far as
70 telegraph our editorials, bodily, ms being
their otca compositions. However, we beg par.
don for this complaining DEPRESSION. and will
not deny that we observe, In all this unfair. |
ness, compliment to our industry on the BART |
Of those plag'atists.
tOluchly the NTPUBLICAS Will support az |
earnestly as possible the civil and military |
policy OF tie present Administration, while |
that policy is for Freedom In its broadcst and |
highest sense, and against Sldp ~. When he |
present. or any other adm n,stration uuvst.es a
Different course on the question Of human slavery,
.ce "aH oppose Il ,cih our Nigh, and main, God
hS!pl'y Us, PATRONAGE OR NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news of the day
will always receive prompt and careful stten-
ton.
The Literary Department Of the REPUBLICAN
will be supplied with choice, selected and ori-
ginal prose and poetry, from the ablest writer's
In this country and 10 Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to enter
the columns of the REPUBLICAN that will offend |
the suscoptibilities Of the most refined.
In brief, wepurpose making the REPUBLICAN |
q FAMILY Newspaper of the highest and most |
complete order.
II is but proper and Just to our readers to say |
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corps
Of Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL RE- |
are thorough, practical newspaper
men In the broadcast sonse OF the term. The |
principal Editor, and his chief Assistant, have |
both been engaged for more than twenty wears |
TIVE are both young men yet , as Journalists
upon the leading presses OF the country, occu-
plying at times the most arduouS and RESPONSE
BILE positions. This may seem like "blowing
our own trumpet" So 1t is. But, good reader.
we have right to blow II, for We have earned
