for which we are partly indebted, and exceed

rants us In promising to make q still better
paper of the WEEKLY REPUBLICAN in the future,
ot TIE same 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 improvements we shall make, but, In
a 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 arc greater than are
enjoyed by the publishers Of any other journal
in the country, for the following reasons:
1st. The REPUBLICAN is published at WASH
ington City, the seat of the National Govern
ment.
ed. The President OF TIE UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act of Congress to select
one paper as the official medium Of all the Exc
cutive Departments of the Government, we take
pleasure In stating that he has done us the
honor to 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 cit here during each year, and VIC employ
corps of able REPoRTEhs, whose duty 1t Is
to furnish the daily records of those high trl-
buuals.
4th. Washington being the Headquarters for
all the operations OF the Army and Navy Of
the United States, by virtue of the relations cx-
isting between the Government and the Ma.
TIoSAL REPUBLICAN,, referred to above, nothing
that is proper to publish, Of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
5th. Our Foreign Relations" now more
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,

the undersigned. Some of the ablest writers
in the United States arc frequently employed to
discuss the subject In the REPUBLICAN.
7th. Our Postal arrangements, so important
to 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 to
which they are subject during the year.
18th. The great interests represented by the
several bureaus Of the Interior Department
will not he overlooked in the WEEKLY REPUB.

tural readers, throughout the country, posted
up concerning everything OF public interest in
the Agricultural Bureau.
9th. The Patent Office, being within i've
minutes walk of our office of publication, il |
will be an easy matter, as II will be a pleasure
Tor US TO keep the Inventor and Artizan advised
OF all improvements.
10Th. 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 of
the Union, the learned and influential men Of
every class in society congregate re-military,
naval, and civil officers OF the General and
State, and territorial governments representa-
tives Of every branch of business taxed BY the
Internal Revenue eLaws-dGputations of citizens
for purposes of State, and politicians and theo-
logians of every stripe, who come in hocks,
some for office, some for business, and some
for pleasure. Each and all of these corners
and goers increase our labors, and contribute

PUBLICAN in some manner.

sentatiNes Of every foreign nation on the earth,

aided by our active attaches.
Above, in general form, we have given
itrelpe reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
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 journal In the United States. The
highest evidence OF this, which relieves us from
the charge of cgotism, Is 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 In the United
States gather the most important Departmental
news, especially Of our military and naval
operations, official aud otherwise, from the
is true in face of the well known fact that
many of the propretors of those journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly to "Asso-
ciated Press" and Especial Correspondents, :,
DO 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 word, BY crediting them

should credit us when they encroach SO far as
to telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their out compositions. However, we beg par

not deny that we observe, in all this unfair.

of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support as
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 against Sidy ~. When tie

The Literary Department of the REPUBLICAN
Will DC supplied with choice, selected and orr
ginal prose and 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 susceptibilities of the most refined.

1t Is but proper and just TO our readers to say
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corps
