The facilities Afforded Us 70 produce tho

bunals. r.- ...... ..
9Th. 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
p.o. 10 ahoua t,a,
that Ia proper 10 publish, Of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
9Th. Our "Foreign Relations, )" NOW mere
important than ever, will DO the subject Of our
constant and psternal care.
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 ablest writers
| In the United States are frequently employed 70
discuss the subject In the REPUBLICAN.
7th. Our Postal arrangements, so imur-tsni
10 the people Of every community, be II large
| or small, especially TO those who can read and
write, are duly noted in the several changes u
which they are subject during the year.
9Th. The great interests represented by the
several bureaus Of the Interior Department
will not be overlooked in the WEEKLY RBPuB
LIoAN. Especially shall we keep our Agricul
tural 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, Il
| will be an easy matter, as II will be pleasure
for us 10 keep the Inventor and ArtiLan advised
Of all improvements.
10th. 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 oft
Bureaus Of Art and Science TO eRrich our col
i umns for the instruction Of our readers.
18th. Washington being the central city o.
| the Union, the learned and influential men o
every class In society congregate here military
naval, and civil officers Of the General snt
I state, and territorial acknowledgement
tiyes of every branch of business taxed by tn,
Internal Revenue Laws-deputation Of citizen
for purposes Of State, and politicians and thoo
logians Of every stripe, who come in focks
some for office, some for business, and som,
for pleasure. Each and all Of these conner
and goers increase our labors, and contribut,
10 enhance the value Of the columns Of the Re
PuB1IoAN In some manner.
18th. The Official, civil, and uncivil repre-
sentatives 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 giver
| tpelpe reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
published In the City Of Washington, possesse,
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 egotism, 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 Unite
States gather the most important Departments
news, especially Of our military and nava
operations, official and otherwise, from tn
columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Thii
Is true In face Of the well known fact thai
many Of the proprietors Of those journals pay
enormous sums Of money yearly 10 "Asso.
ciated Press" and Especial Correspondence
80 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 are
not the authors Of many Of the most important
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex
pense Of four cents PER sord, BY crediting them
| 70 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit Us when they encroach 80 far al
70 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
tasir Don compositions. However, we beg par
don for this complaining depression, and will
not deny that we observe, in all this unfair
ness, compliment TO our industry on the par
Of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN viii support Q,
1
policy Of the present Adm inistration, while
that policy is for FRzHDoM in Its broadest ant
highest sense, and aodirlst Slavery. When h,
present, or any other admits trdtion, ptrsiles
different course on the question Of human slavery
pe shall opposs u With our might and main, GeC
helping Us, PATRONAGE Oh NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news Of the day
will always receive prompt and careful atten
ton.
| It 10 but proper and Just TO our readers to say
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corpi
OF Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL Re
PUBLICAN are thorough, practical newspaper
men In the broadest sonse of the term. Tn,
principal Editor, and his chief Assistant, hav,
both been engaged for more than twenty year
| 1--WE are both young men yet y as journalist
upon the leading presses Of the country, occu
plying at times the most arduous and response
| bic positions. This may seem like "bloWinl
our own trumpet" 30 It is. But, good reader
we have right TO blow 1t, for we have earneS
that right; besides, you are entitled 10 know
whether the REPUBLICAN Is conducted by expe
rienced or inexperienced men.
A very small portion of the WEEKLY RKPUB
LIckN will be devoted TO advertising, and onl,
that class Of advertisements which will prov
of the greatest value 10 our country readers will
be admitted. II is printed on q Double Supe
Royal sheet, q by ~ inches, and contains 8
columns Of reading matter.
The Literary Department Of the REPUBLICAN
will be supplied with choice, selected and orr
ginal prose and poetry, from the ablest writer
In this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, TO ente
the columns Of the REPUBLICAN that will often
the suscsptibilities Of the most refined.
