The facilities afforded as TO produces tho

70 furnish the daily records Of those high tri-
bunala. tr aa
9Th. Washington being the HEADQUARTERS for
all the operations Of the Army and Navy Of
the United States, BY virtue Of the relations en-
isting between the Government and The Ma
TIoNkL REPUBLICAN,, Fcferred 10 above, nothing
that Is proper 10 publish, OF Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
Sab. Our 'tForcign Relations" now mere
important than ever, Will be the subject OF our
constant and patenal care. .I go.
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 ahlest writers
in the United States arc frequently employed 10
discuss the subject In the RNPUBLICAN.
9TH. Our Postal arrangements, so important
10 the people Of every community, be II 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 year. 30
Sth. The great interests represented by the

OF all improvements. a
10Th. Thesmlthsonian Institute, established
in Washington, having already become one Of
the highest scientific institutions In the nation,
we shall avail ourselves Of the advantages ofits
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 o
every class in society congrcgate here--mllitary,
naval, and civil officers OF the General and
State, and territorial governments representa-
tiyes Of every branch Of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-aeputation of citizens
for purposes Of State, and politicians and theo-
logians OF every stripe, who come IN nocks,
some for office, some for business, and some
for pleasure. Each and llzoT these c1mers
and goers Increase our labors, and contribute
to enhance the yaluc Of tho columns ofthc RE-
PUBLICAN In some manner.

aentatiyes Of every foreign nation ON the earth,

t,OelVe reasons why the NATIONAL REpuBLIcAS,
published In the City OF washington, possesses
greater facilities for obtaining all the import.
ant news of the day, ofcvery description, than
any other Journal in the United States. The
highest evidence of this, which relieves US from
the charge Of sgotlsm, Is the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care to oh
serve it) that the leading, widest circulated,
and most influential journals IN tho 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 proprictors Of those jourpals pay
enormous sums Of money yearly 10" Asso-
ciated Prvss'' and Especial Correspondents, -
so called, to furnish them with the current
news'of the day. We regret TO say, in this
connection, that those correspondents do mol
always inform their employers that they are
aot the authors Of many Of the most important
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex-
pense Of four cents pr cord, by creditlng them
70 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit us when they encroach so far az
70 telegraph our eik0rials, bodily, "a being
lheir osVn compositions. However, we, beg par.
don for this complaining digression, and will
not deny that We observe, In all this unfair
ness, q compliment 70 our industry on the part
Of these plagiarists.
fOutlcully Lnc nEfUbLlOAh Will support al
earnestly as possible the civil and military
policy OF the present Administration, while
that policy Is for FRKnDoM In Its broadest and
highest sense, and agdi'sst SldUsrH. Whda az
present, or any Other administration, pltrsltes
different course on he question Of human slavery,
tSe shall oppose Il Nth our might aud main, God
helping as, PATRONAGE on NO PATRONAGE. E
The Domestic and personal news Of the day

ton. .... ~.
The Literary Department of the REPBBLIoAS
will be supplied with choice, selected and orr
ginal prose and poetry, from the ablest writer
In this country and In Europe.
We snail permit nothing, knowingly, TO entel
the columns Of the REPUBLICAN that will Offend
the susceptibIlIties OF the most refined.
In brief, we purpose making the REPUBLICAS

complete order. .
IL is but proper and Just TO our readers to sal
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corpl
Of Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL Re
PUBIicAN are thorough, practical newspaper
