REPUBLICAN, To make the latter more thorough
and reliable newspaper for Families and Clubs
throughout the country, than II has been here
tofore.
In making this announcement we do not in
tend to enter into an extended detail statement
OF all the improvements VIC 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 70 produce tho
rough national newspaper arc greater than are
enjoyed by the publishers OF any other journal
In the country, for the following reasons,
LIST. The REPUBLICAN is published at Wash
ington City, the seat OF the National Govern.
meut.
I'd. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

one paper as the official medium Of all the Exc
cutive Departments ofthe Government, we take
pleasure In stating that he has done US the
honor 10 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
a corps Of able REPoRTBRs, whose duty II Va
TO furnish the daily records OF those high tri-
bunals.
4th. Washington being tho Headquarters for
all the operations OF the Army and Navy OF
the United States, by virtue Of the relations ex.
listing between the Government aud the Ma
TIorAL REPUBLICAN, referred to above, nothing
that is proper to publish, of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
9Th. Our Foreign Relations" now mare
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 ableet writer's
| In the United States are frequently employed to
discuss the subject in the REPUBLICAN.
| 7th. Our Postal arrangements, so i'm II

| or small, especially To those who can read and
write, are duly noted In the several changes 10
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 REPUB.
LICAN. 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 Eve
minutes walk OF our Office of publication, II
| will be an easy matter, as II will be pleasure
for 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 ite
Bureaus of Art and Science to eprich our col
umns for tho instruction Of our readers.
18th. Washington being the central city OF
the Union, the learned and influential men
every class in society congregate here-military,
naval, and civil officers of the General and
State, and territorial acknowledgement
tives of every branch Of business taxed by the
| Internal Revenue Laws-deputation of citizens
for purposes of State, and politicians and theo
logians Of every stripe, who come In iocks,
some for office, come 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.
18th. The Official, civil, and uncivil repro.
sentatlyes Of every foreign nation on the earth,
are found here, and cannot act or move unher
aided by our active attaches.
Above, In a general form, we have given
ttOelve 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, tia n
any other Journal in the United States. The
highest evidence OF this, which relieves vs. from
the charge Of egotism, Is the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care to oh
serve it) that the leading, widest circulated,
aud most influential journals In 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.
clated Press" and Especial Correspondents, :"
so called, 10 furnish them with tho current
news OF the day. We regret to say, In this

Politically the REPUBLICAN will support as
earnestly as possible the civil and militar,
policy Of the present Administration, while
that policy Is for FREEDOM in Its broadust and
highest sense, and against Slavery. When Us

ton.
1t is but proper and just 10 our readers 10 say
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corps
Of Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL Re
PUBLICAN are thorough, practical newspaper
men In the broadest sonse of the term. The
principal Editor, and his chief Assistant, have
both been engaged for more than twenty years

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" 30 1t Is. But, good reader
we have q right 70 blow II, for we have earned
that right besides, you arc entitled to know
whether the REPUBLICAN is conducted by expe
rienccd or inexperienced men.
A very small portion of the WEEKLY REPUB-
LICAH will be devoted TO advertising, and only
that class Of advertisements which will prove
OF the greatest value to our country readers will
be admitted. 1t Is printed on Double Super
Royal sheet, 81 by AZ inches, and contains 50
columns of reading matter.
The Literary Department OF the REPUBLICAN
will be 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 susceptibilitics of the most refined.
In brief, we purpose making the REPUBLICAN
a FAMILY Newspaper OF the highest and most
complete order.
