Above, In a general form, we have given
tpelUe 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, than
any other Journal In the United States. The
highest evidence Of this, which relieves US from
the charge Of egotism, IL the fact witnessed all
over the nation daily (by those who care to oh
serve ~ 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 proPrietors Of those journals pay
enormous sums OF money yearly to Asso-
ciated Press" and Especial Correspondents"
so 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 en-
pense Of four cents per pord, by crediting them
70 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
their oton compositions. However, We beg par
don for this complaining depression, and will
not deny that we observe, In all this unfair
ness, q compliment TO our industry on the part
Of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN, will support rs
earnestly as possible the civil and military
policy Of the present Administration, while
that policy Is for FREnpol in Its broadest and
highest sense, and agai'tst Slavery. When he

The domestic and personal news Of tie daI
will always receive prompt and careful atten

The Literary Department Of tho RnPvBL1oAl
will be supplied with choice, selected and orl
Rinal prose and poetry, from the ablest writer
In this country and In Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, 10 ente

In brief We purpose making the RHPuBLIcAi
