to furnish the daily records Of those high tri !
bunale.
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. |
TIoSAL REPUBLICAN, referred 10 above, nothing
that Is proper to publish, of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
5th. Our Foreign Relations" now mere
important than ever, w be the subject Of our
constant and patg.nal @fc.

always affords an ample field for the Journalist,

In the United States are frequently employed 70

7Lh. Our Postal arrangements, SO I'M ..'''
TO the people Of every community, be il laI-
or small, especially TO those who can read aud
write, are duly noted In the several changes 10
which they are subject during the year.
Sth. The great interests represented By the

!, State, and territorial acknowledgements
, tives of every branch of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-ieputstions of CitZcus

PUBLICAN In come manner.

y sentatives OF every foreign nation on the earth,
are found hero and cannot act or move unher
! aided by our active dtLlch6s.
Above, in q general form, we have given
ttoslve 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
70 any other Journal In the United States. The
=, highest evidence Of this, which relieves from
le the charge Of esOt!sm, ID the fact witnessed all
n over the nation daily (by those who care to OF
ii sorve ~ that the leading, widest circulated,
ID ind most influential journals In tie United
he States gather the most important Departmental
.. news, especially Of our military and naval
- operations, Official aud otherwise, from the
10 columns Of the NATIONAL kGpIHL1CA%. This
10 ID true in face OF the VOL known fat that
lie mauy of the prOprictors Of those Journals pay
:, enormous sums of money yearly to " .isso
- cialcd Press" and Especial rpOIlvEt-,"
|, so 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
q rot the EuthOrs OF many of the most important
u dispatches they send over the wires at IN e1
pcnse of four cents pr wOrd, h crGdiliuy them
y to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, as they in jue-
~ tiCe should do. We especially think they
should credit us wien they cncroach SO far as
TO telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their otc1t composit01u However, We beg par.
= don for this complaining DEPRESSION, and will
not deny that we observe, In all this unfIir-
v ness, a compliment TO our industry on the rarl
of these plagiarsts.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support as
n earnestly as possible the civil and military
r. policy OF the present Administration, while
that policy Is for FREEDOM In its broadLst and
n, highest sense, and against Slay.ry. Whs,t N,
e; present. or any other administration, pUrStcS
different course on the question Of hm.Gn SlIgcry
a. shall oppose il icih our Hsh a,d main, God
hs!pi,i1 ~, PATRONAGE OR No PATRONAGE.
IN The domestic and personal news of the day
&c will always receive prompt and careful atLcn-
w ton.
n. lis but proper aud Just 10 our readers to say
u that the Publishers, Editors, AMI entire corps
Of Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL RE,
ai PUBLICAN arc thorough, practical newspaper
b, men In the broadest sOnsu of the term. The
principal Editor, and his chief Assistant, have
both been engaged for more than twenty year:
Eve are both young men yctD as Journalists
Al upon the leading presses OF the country, occu
h. | plying at times the most arduOus and res pIns
10 BILE positions. This may seem like "blOwnp
our own trumpet" 80 It Is. But, good reader
H. we have a right TO blow it, for we have earLuc
al al that right; besides, you arc entitled to know
a. whether the REPUBLICAN 10 conducted ~ yxpe
en- rienced or inexperienced men.
All A very small portion Of the WEEKLY REPUB
NO ILCAN will be devoted TO advertising, and only
eu that class of advertisements which will prov,
IN of the greatest value TO our country readers viii
nd be admitted, 1t il printed on a Double Supg
Royal sheet, "a by ~ inches, and contains ):
columns Of reading matter.
The Literary department of the REPUBLIr A.
}. will be supplied with choice, selected and or!
giRal prose and poetry, from the abcGt writer
Rs In this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, TO Gnte
IN the columns of the REPUBLICAN that will OnyuC
u, the suscgptbilities Of the most refined.
"a; In brief, we purpose making the REPUBLlCA!
an a FAMILY Newspaper of the highest and mcs
*, complete order.
