70 make the latter more thorough
md reliable newspaper for Families and Clubs
throughout the country, than It has been here
ofore.
In making this announcement we do not In
END to enter into an extended detail statement
of all the improvements we shall make, but, In
\ general way, to indicate what we propose
ioing, assuring the public that we shall use
our utmost>endeavors to perform faithfully all
hat we promise.
The facilities afforded US TO produce tho
rough national newspaper are greater than are
enjoyed by the publishers of any other journal
In the country. for the following reasons;
LIST. The REPUBLICAN is published at Wash
ington City, the seat OF the National Govern.
tnent. q
Cd. The President OF THE United srArss
being authorized by an act Of Congress to select
one paper as the official medium of all the Exc
cutiye Departments ofthe Government, we take
pleasure In stating that ne has done US the
honor TO select the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN under
the law Of Congress referred To-.
Sd. 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
a corps Of able REPORTERS, whose duty 1t Is
to furnish the daily records Of those high tri-
bunals.
4th. Washington being the Headquarters for
all the operations OF the Army and Navy Of
the United States, by virtue Of the relations eI-
listing between the Government and the Ma
TIoNkL REPUBLICAN, referred 10 above, nothing
that is proper to publish, of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
9Th. Our Foreign Relations" now more
important than ever, will be the subject OF our
constant and paternal care.
9th. The Finances Of the Government, which
always affords an ample field for the journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention oi
the undersigned. Some of the ablest writer,
in the United States are frequently employed 10
discuss the subject in the REPUBLICAN.
7th. Our Postal arrangements, so n ""-tsr
to the people OF every community, b, wye
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.
Sth. The great interests represented by the
several bureaus of the Interior Department
will not be overlooked In the WEEKLY REPUB.
LIcAS. Especially shall we keep our Agricul-
tursl readers, throughout the country, posted
up concerning everything OF public interest in
| the Agricultural Bureau.
9th. The Patent Office, being within Eve
| minutes walk of our office of publication, II
will be an easy matter, as It will be a pleasure
for us to 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,
| 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 ceatral city Of
the Union, the learned and influential men o
every class in society congregate here-military
naval, and civil officers OF the General and
| Stata and tnrrit tori nj m mi
tives OF every branch of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-deputation of citzent
for purposes Of State, and politicians and theo
logisns Of every stripe, who come In focks
some for office, some for business, and some
for pleasure. Each and all Of these cnmert
and goers increase our lsbors, and contribute
TO enhance the value Of the columns Of the Re.
| PUBLICAN In some manner.
18th. The official, civil, and uncvil repre-.
sentatves 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 given
tpelve 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, thar
any other Journal in the United States. Tn,
highest evidence of this, which relieves US from
the charge Of ogotism, 10 the fact witnessed al
over the nation daily (by those who care to oil
serve it) that the leading, widest Circulated
and most influential journals in the Unitet
States gather the most important Departments
news, especially of our military and nava
operations, official and otherwise, from tn,
columns OF the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Thil
is true In face of the well known fact thai
many of the proprietors Of those journals pay
| enormous sums of money yearly to "Asso
cated Press" and Especial Correspondents, u
so called, to furnish them with the current
news of the day. We regret to say, in this
connection, that those correspondents do moi
always inform their employers that they arr
not the authors of many of the most important
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex
pense of four cents psr toord, by crediting then
TO the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit US when they encroach so far al
10 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their opn compositions. However, we beg par
don for this complaining DEPRESSION, and will
not deny that we observe, In all this unfair
ness, a compliment 10 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
that policy is for FREEDOM in its brosdest ant
highest sense, and against Slavery. When n
present, or any Other administration, purslss
different course on the question Of human slavery
helping US, PATRONAGE Oh NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news Of the da
will always receive prompt and careful atten
ton.
1t Is but proper and Just to our readers 10 sa
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corp
OF Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL RI
PUBLICAN are thorough, practical newspspe
men In the broadest sonse of the term. Tn
principal Editor, and his chief Assistant, hay
both been engaged for more than twenty year
1--WE are both young men yet as Journalist
upon the leading presses of the country, occu
plying at times the most arduous and respons
bic positions. This may seem like "blowin
our own trumpet" 80 1t Is. But, good reader
we have right to blow 1t, for we have earne
that right besides, you are entitled to kno,
whether the REPUBLICAN Is conducted by eTpt
rienced or Inexperienced men.
A very small portion of the WEEKLY RBPUI
IICAN will be devoted to advertising, and onl
that class of advertisements which will prov
of the greatest value 10 our country readers wi
be- admitted. 1t is printed on a Double Supe
Royal sheet, 81 by AZ inches, and contains 8
columns of reading matter.
The Literary Department OF the RKPUBLICk
will be supplied with choice, selected and or
ginal prose and poetry, from the ablest writeI
In this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to emit,
the columns of the REPUBLICAN that will often
In brief, we purpose making the RRPUBLICA
a FAMILY Newspaper Of the highest and mo-
complete order.
