sentatives Of every foreign nation on the earth

Above, In a general form, We have given
t,celue reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
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 to 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 fact OF the well known fact that
many Of the proprietors Of those journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly to "Asso-
ciAted Press" and Especial Correspondents"
90 called, to furnish them with the current
news Of the day. We regret TO say, In this
connection, 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 ex-
pense OF four cents psr Oord, by crediting them
70 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit us when they oncroAch so far as
To telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their otSn 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 part
Of these plagiArists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support as
earnestly as possible the civil and military
that policy Is for FRKKDoM In Its broadest and
highest sense, and against SldVrB. When hs
