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 undcrsigned. Some of the ablest writers
In the United States are frequently employed 10
discuss the subject In the REPUBLICAN.
It'll. Our Postal arrangements, SO imr"-'' mt
10 the people Of every community, be II laIE'
or small, especially 10 those who can read and

which they are subject during the year.

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 70 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 eongregate here-military,
naval, and civil officers Of the General and
State, and territorial acknowledgements
tives Of every branch Of business taxed BY the
Internal Revenue Laws-dephtations Of citizens

for pleasure. Each and all Of these cnmers
and goers increase our labors, and contribute
70 enhance the value Of the columns Of the RE
PUBLICAN In some manner.
18th. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
sentatives Of every foreign nation on the earth,
arc found here, and cannot act or move unher.
aided BY our active attaches.
Above, In . general form, we have given
tsslvs reasons why the NATIONAL RsPUBLIoAS,
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, Is the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care 10 OBJ
serve it) 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 propretors Of those journals pay
enormous sums Of money yearly to "Asso.
ciated Press" and Especial Correspondents, !"
90 called, TO furnish them with the current
that those correspondents do not
always inform their employers that they are
not the authors Of many Of the most important
dispatches they send over the wires at an en-
pense Of four cents per oord, by crediting them
TO the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In jus-
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit Us when they encroach so far as
TO telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
tasir Don compositions. However, We beg par
don for this complaining depression, and viii
not deny that We observe, In all this unfair
ness, . compliment 70 our industry on the part
Of these plsgiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support as
earnestly as possible the civil and military
policy Of the present Administration, while
that policy is for FRzzDoM In Its broadest and
highest sense, and against Slavery. When he
present, or any Other administration, ptiysuss a
different course on The question Of htgnaa slavery,
w slal oppose With our might and main, Ged
hslptng u, PATRONAGE Oh NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news Of the day
win always receive prompt and careful atten-
ton.
It Is but proper and Just to our readers To say
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corps
Of Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL RE
PUBLICAN are thorough, practical Newspaper
men In the broadest sonse Of the term. The
Editor, and his chief Assistant, have
both been engaged for more than twenty years
tive are both young men yetD as Journalists
upon the leading presses Of the country, occu.
pying at times tho most arduous and responsi.
BE positions. This may seem like "blowinR
our own trumpet" 30 It is. But, good reader.
we have right 10 blow 1t, for we have earned
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 REPUB-
LIcAN will be devoted TO advertising, and only
that class Of advertisements which will prove
Of the greatest value 70 our country readers will
DO admitted. 1t Is printed on Double Super
Royal sheet, 81 by A Inches, and contains SO
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 writers
In this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, TO enter
the columns Of the REPUBLICAN that W III offend
the suscsptibilities Of the most refined.
In brief, We purpose making the REF UBLIcAs
q FAMILY Newspaper of the highest and most
complete order.
