always affords an ample field for the journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention Of
the undersigned. Some Of the ablest writers
In the United States are frequently employed TO
discuss the subject In the RHPUBLIoAN.

18th. Washington being the central city o
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 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
tiyes OF every branch OF business taxed by tn
Internal Revenue Laws-deputations OF citizen
for purposes Of State, and politicians and thso
logians of every stripe, who come In hocks
some for ofice, some for business, and som
for pleasure. Each and all Of these cnmer
and goers Increase our labors, and contribut
TO enhance the value Of the columns Of the RI
PUBLICAN In some manner. al
18th. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
ssntatiyes OF every foreign nation on the earth
are found here, and cannot act or move unhoT
aided by our active attaches.
Above, In a general form, we have give
taoslBs reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLIoAS
published In the City Of Washington, possesse
greater facillties for obtaining all the import
ant news Of the day, OF every description, tina
any other Journal In the United States. tn
highest evidence Of this, which relieves MS froI
the charge Of sgotlsm, IL the fact witnessed a
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 Snd nAya
operations, official and otherwise, from tn
columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Thi
Is true in face of the well known fact tina
many Of the proprictors OF those Journals pa
enormous sums OF money yearly TO Asso
ciated Press" and Especial Correspondents,
30 called, to furnish them with the currer
news Of the day. We regret to say, In TIL
connection, that those correspondents do nc
always inform their employers that they ar
not the authors OF many OF the most importar
dispatches they send over the wires at an e1
pense Of four ce'its pr Dord, by credlting ther
TO the NATIONAL RPUBLIGAs, rs they In jus
tice should do. We especially think the
should credit US when they encroach so far a
70 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as bein
their orn competitions. However, we beg pal
don for this complaining depression, and wi
not deny that we observe, In all this unfair
ness, q compliment TO our industry on the pat
of these plagiArists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support q
earnestly as possible the civil and mllltar
policy Of the present Administration, whi1
highest sense, and against SldV ~. WheA n

The Literary Department of thS REPVBIIoA
