WASHINGTON, D. c., July l, 1861.
The undersigned commenced, in the month Of
December last. the publication, in this city. of a
weekly newspaper called the NationolRrPubficdn.
1t is printed on large sheet. twentv-seven by
fory-two inches and is furnished at the low prices
stated below
1t will contain all the original matter of the
daily Nationai Repnbkran, with the exception of
local news not ncrciny to country subscribers.
It will give full reports of the proceedings of
Congress. and of the other departments of the Ma
tional Government.
1t will contain all the news of the day. foreign
and dome site. markets, &C.. &C.. rs well as an
original correspondence from all rhrs of the
country The miscellaneous department will re-
ceive special attention. and. in all respects, the
effort will he made to establish the character OF
the .Votionai Rpubiican ms a Family Newspaper.
Washington being now the central point of the
current military operations. great attention will he
paid to furnishing the readers of the National
RrpuJiican with full, and especially with accnrdte,
accounts of the progress ofthc war for the Union.
In politics. the paper will be Republican, sus-
tanning the Administration of Mr. Lincoln. but dis
claiming however, any prctension to bc the orga
of the President.
There is no other Republican paper in the Dis
trict of Columbia. in the vicinity of it, and it is
believed that recent events have opened to such n
paper an important sphere of useful effort. The
time has come. when the actual administration OF
the Government upon Republican principles will
explode the Misrepresentation which have medc
those principles dstastcful to the South.
But ii is not only here and in this vicinity that
the projectors of the National Rep"ji'can hope to
make it useful. To the whole country they offer II
journal which will discuss national politics from II
national standpoint, and which will never he
swervcd from patriotic duty by any oycrpowering
pressure of local interest.
