AZ Dc sasns price, than Il has been In the past.
In making this announcement We do not In
tend TO enter into an extended detail statement
Of ali the improvements we shall make, but, In
q general way, 10 Indicate what we propose
doing, assuring the public that wo shall use
our utmost endeayors 70 perform faithfully all
The fsciiIties Afforded us 70 produce tho
rough national newspaper are greater than arc
enioyed BY the publishers OF any other journal
in the country, for the following reasons;
lst. The RHPuBIIokN il published at WASH
ington City, the seat Of the National Govern
ment. -
2d. TIE PRnsrDENr or TIE UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act Of Congress TO select
one paper as the Official medium Of all the Exc
cutiye Departments Of the Government, we take
pleasure In stating that he has done us the
honor 10 select the NATIoNAL REPUBLICAN, under
the law Of Congress referred 10.
81. 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
q corps Of able REPORTERS, whose duty II Is
10 furnish the daily records Of those high trl-
bunAla.
an. Washington being the Headquarters for
all tho operations Of the Army and Navy of
the United States, by virtue of the relations ex-
listing between the Government and the Ma
rroNkL REPUBLICAN, referred TO above, nothing
that is proper to publish. OF Military and Naval
Sch. Our "Foreign Relations" now mere
important than ever, will be the subject of our
conEtant and paternal care.
9th. Tho Finances Of the Government, which
always affords an ample field for the journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention OF
the undersigned. Bono Of the ablest writers
in the United States are frequently employed to
discuss the subject In the RKPUBLIcAN.
It'll. Our Postal arrangements, so important
10 tho 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.
9Th. The great interests represented by the
sereral bureaus of the Interior Department
will not be overlooked In the WEEKLY RHPUB.
IIcLr. Especially shall we keep our Agricul-
turAl readers, throughout the country, posted
up concerning everything OF public interest In
the Agricultural Bureau.
9th. Tho Patent Offlce, being within ave
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.
lOth, Tho 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.
18th. Washington being the central city OF
the Union, the learned and influential men
eyery class in society congregate military,
naval, and civil officers Of the General and
State, and territorial goyernments-represen
tiyes Of every branch Of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-deput of citlZeni
for purposes Of State, and politicians and thee
logians Of every stripe, who come In hocks
acme for Office, some for business, and som
for pleasure. Each and all OF these conner
and goers Increase our labors, and contribute
TO enhance the value Of the columns OF the RE
PUBLICAN In some manner.
12th. Tho Official, civil, and unciyh repre-
sentatiyes Of every foreign nation on the earth
are found here, and cannot act or move unher
aided by our active attaches.
Above, In q general form, we have giyer
tsoolUs 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 egotism, Ii the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care to oh
serve III 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 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
ciated Press'' and especial Correspondents, d
20 called, TO furnish them with the current
news of the day. We regret 70 say, In THU
connection, that those correspondents do no
always inform their employers that they arr
not the authors Of many Of the most importan
dispatches they send over the wires at an OK
pense Of four cents per toord, by crediting then
70 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
tics should do. We especially think the!
should credit US when they encroach so lar
TO telegraph our editorials, bodily, as bcini
tasir es0n compositions. However, we beg par
don for this complaining dlgression, and vii
not deny that we observe, In all this unfair
ness, q compliment 70 our industry on the par
Of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN, will support a
earnestly as possible the civil and militar
policy OF the present Administration, Will
highest sense, and against Slavery. When n
pTessnt, or any other administration, plIrsIes
different eoaIrss on thS question Of human saVerI
100 shall oppose u Nth our might aud main, Ga
AelDia0 Us, PATRONAGE Oh NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news Of the dH
viii always receive prompt and careful attel
ton.
The Literary Department of the REPUBLIcA
win be supplied with choice, selected and OIL
FINAL prose and poetry, from the ablest write
IN this country and In Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, TO ent
The columns Of the REPUBLICAN that will olIeI
Sths suscSptibillties OF the most refined.
In brief, we purpose making the REPUBLIcI
aFAMILf Newspaper of the highest and me
complete order.
n il but proper and Just TO our readers to s
that The Publishers, Editors, and entire cor
OF Reporters engaged'upon the NATIcNAL r
PUpIIoLH are thorough, practical newspaI
men in the broadest sonse Of the term. 7
prineipsi Editor, and his chief Assistant, ha
both been engaged for more than twenty yet
two are both young men yet D as journali
upon the leading presses Of the country, oct
pying at times the most arduous and respon
BE positions. This may seem like "blowl
our own trumpet" 30 Il Is. But, good read

that right; besides, you are entitled TO KIM
