OF all the Improvements VIC shall make, but, In

The facilities Afforded US to produce tho

aided by our active attaches.
Above, in a general form, we have given
tiOslVs 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 tue 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 face of the well known fact that
many OF the propriCtors 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 10 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 per iDOrd, 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
10 telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their OiOI compositions. However, we beg par.
l don for this complaining DEPRESSION, and will
not deny that we observe, in all this unfair.
ness, a compliment to our industry on the part
Of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support az
earnestly as possible the civil and military
: policy of the present Administration, while
that policy Is for FREEDOM in its broadest and
!, highest sense, and against SLAVERY. Wien III
