Of all the Improvements we shall make, but, In

our utmost endeayors to perform faithfully all
that we promise.
The facilities afforded US 70 produce tho
rough national newspaper arc greater than are
in The country, for the following reasons.
LIT. The REPUBLICAN IL published at WASH

10 furnish the daily rex 0rds OF those high tri-
an. Washington bein, the Headquarters for
ali the operations Of the Army and Navy OF
the United States, by yirtu OF the relations en-
isting between the Govern Tent and the ma
TIoNlL REPUBLICAN,, referrel ' 70 above, nothing
that IL proper TO publish, Of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
9Th. Our "Foreign Relations" now mere
important than ever, viii be the subject OF our
constant and paternal care.
9Th. The Finances Of the Govern ment, which
always affords an ample field for th,s journalist,
shall meet with the most careful uention OF
the undersigned. Some Of the SblCst writer's
in the United States are frequently en- oloyed to
discuss the subject in the REPUBLICAN,.
7th. Our Postal arrangements, so important
10 the people Of every community, be e large
or small, especially 70 those who can read and
write, are duly noted in the several changes to
which they are subject during the yOar.
9Th. The great interests represented by The
several bureaus Of the Interior Department
win net DO overlooked in the WHEILY RKPuB.
LOAN. 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 Ofilcc, being within i've
minutes walk Of our ofice Of publication, II
will be an easy matter, as IL viii be . pleasure
for us 70 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,
ne 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
every class in society congrcgate here-military
naval, and civil officers OF the General and
State, and territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
tiyes Of every branch Of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-deputauon OF citiZens
for purposes Of State, and politicians and thee
iogians Of evey stripe, who come in nocks
some for ofice, some for business, and SOM
for pleasure. Each and all OF these conner
and goers increase our labors, and contribute
70 enhance the value OF the columns OF the IKE
PUBLICAN In some manner.
12th, The Official, civil, and unciyn 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 a general form, we have giVei
t,oclDe reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLIcAN
published in the City Of Washington, Possesse
greater facilities for obtaining all the import
sny other Journal In the United States. Tn
highest evidence Of this, which relieves US froI
the charge Of sgotism, IL the fact witnessed a
over the nation daily (by those who care to
serve IT, that tho leading, widest circulated
and most influential Journals in the Unite
States gather the most important Departments
news, especially Of our military and navt
operations, official and otherwise, from th
columns OF the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Tn
Is true in face OF the well known fact tina
MANY of the proprietors Of those Journals pa
enormous sums Of money yearly TO " AssS
ciated Press'' and Especial Correspondents,
90 called, to furnish them with the curreI
- tl.a
connection, that those correspondents do nj
alWays inform their employers that they Al
NOT the authors Of many Of the most importai
dispatches they send over the wires at an G
ponse Of four cents psr cord, by crediting the
10 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In ju
lice should do. We especially think tht
should credit us when they encroach 30 lar
70 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as beir
don for this complaining digression, and vi
not deny that We observe, In all this unfai
ness, q compliment TO our industry on the pa
ofthese plagiArists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support
earnestly As possible the civil and militia
1olicy Of the present Administration, viii
that policy Is for FRnHDoM in Its broadest an
highest sense, and G9airSt Slavery. WheH
pTesent or any other administration, ptIrsiies
different course on he question Of human slaUer
~ lhaH oppose Il Nth our might and main, O.
helpino US, PATRONAGE OR NO PATRONAGE.
fhe domestic and personal news Of the dl
win always receive prompt and careful atte
The Literary Department Of the REPTBLIoI
viii be supplied with choice, selected and OF
Rinal 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 ofei
the suscsptibilities OF the most refined.
In brief we purpose making the Republic
aFAM1Lf Newspaper Of the highest and me
m h mi proper and lust to our readers To s.
