WEEKLY NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,

and reliable newspaper for Families and Clubs
throughout the country, than 1t has been here
tofore.
In making this announcement we DO not In
tend to enter into an extended detail statement
of all the improvements we shall make, but, In
q general way, to indicate what we propose
doing, assuring the public that we shall use
our utmost endeayors TO perform faithfully all
that we promise.
The facilities 3Rorded us to produce tho
rough national newspaper are greater than are
enjoyed by the publishers Of any other journal
in the country, for the following reasonsi
lat, The REPUBLICAN Is published at Wash
Ington City, the seat of the National Govern
ment.
I'd, THE PRESIDENT OF THB UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act of Congress to select
o,u paper as the official medium OF all the Exc
cutiye Departments Of the Government, we take
pleasure in stating that he has done us the
honor to select the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN under
the law of Congress referred to.
Sd. The Congress and the Supreme Court and
the Court of claims of the United States, sever
ally cit here during each year, and we employ
q corps of able REPORTERS, whose duty It ie
to furnish the daily records Of those high tri-
bunals.
4th. Washington being the Headquarters for
all the operations OF the Army and Navy Of
the United States, by virtue of the relations ex-
listing between the Government and the Ma
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN, referred TO above, nothing
that is proper to publish, of Military and Naval
operations, can or shall escape our notice.
9Th. Our Foreign Relations" now more
Important than ever, will be the subject Of our
constant and paternal care.
9th. The Finances Of the Government, which
always affords an ample field for the journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention a.
the undersigned. 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 irr lni
TO the people Of every community, be .-.
or small, especially 10 those who can read anJ
u. write, are duly noted in the several changes "
! which they are subject during the year.
Sth. The great interests represented by the
I several bureaus of the Interior Department
will not be overlooked in the WEEKLY REPUB
0 LIcAN. Especially shall we keep our Agricul
tural readers, throughout the country, posted
up concerning everything OF public interest In
the Agricultural Bureau.
9th. The Patent Office, being within five
minutes walk of our office Of publication, II
0 will be an easy matter, as it will be pleasure
for us to keep the Inventor and African advised
o. of all improvements.
10Th. The Smithsonian Institute. established
In Washington, having already become one o.
! the highest scientific institutions in the nation
we shall avail ourselves of the advantages fit
Bureaus of Art and Science to enrich our col
0 umns for the instruction Of our readers.
d 18th. Washington being the central city o
3 the Union, the learned and influential men o
q every class in society Congregate here-military
: naval, and civil officers of the General anC
i State, and territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Z tives of every branch of business taxed by tn
/. Internal Revenue CHARACTERIZATION of citizen
Enr M Atafn nd tiEfa and
logians of every stripe, who come in hocks
a some for Office, some for business, and som
4, for pleasure. Each and all Of these cNmer
and goers increase our labors, and contribute
to enhance the value Of the columns Of the Re
~ PUBLICAN in some manner.
\ 18th. The official, civil, and uncivil repre-
= sentatyes of every foreign nation on the earth
are found here, and cannot act or move unher
aided by our active attaches.
Above, in q general form, we have giveI
t,OelVt reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAs
published in the City of Washington, posscsse
- greater facilities for obtaining all the import
ant news of the day, of every description, tina
any other Journal in the United States. Tn
highest evidence Of this, which relieves US fror
the charge Of ogotism, ID the fact witnessed a
a, over the nation daily (by those who care to o
q. serve it) that the leading, widest circulated
Ill and most influential journals in the Unite
s, States gather the most important Departments
ey news, especially of our military and navS
:" operations, official and otherwise, from tn
n | columns of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Thi
ps is true in face of the well known fact tina
many of the proprietors of those journals pa
enormous sums of money yearly to "Asso
ciated Press" and Especial Correspondents, :
h so called, to furnish them with the curren
news of the day. We regret to say, iu thi
l. connection, that those correspondents do no
always inform their employers that they ar
X not the authors OF many of the most importan
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex
X pense of four ce'aS per ,Oord, by credting ther
to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In jus
, tice should do. We especially think the
y should credit US when they encroach 80 far a
4. TO telegraph our editorials, bodily, as ben
their Oion compositions. However, we beg pal
don for this complaining DEPRESSION, and wi
not deny that we observe, in all this unfaiI
I, ness, a compliment 10 our industry on the far
~ of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support a
\, earnestly as possible the civil and mllitar
y policy Of the present Administration, Will
that policy is for FREEDOM in Its broadest an
\, highest sense, and against SLAVERY. When
e present, or any other administration, pursues
II different course the question Of human SLAYER,
ie pe shall oppose Il nth our Nigh. aud main, Ga
helping us, PATRONAGE Oh NO PATRONAGE.
IN The domestic and personal news of the da
re will always receive prompt aud careful after
te ton.
n II is but proper and Just to our readers 10 sa
AZ that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corr
OF Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL Rl
al PUBLICAN are thorough, practical newspap,
men in the broadest sonse OF the term. I'll
. principal Editor, and his chief Assistant, hay
both been engaged for more than twenty yea
TIVE are both young men yetD as Journalist
upon the leading presses Of the country, occl
81 plying at times the most arduous and respOns
,e bic positions. This may seem like "blowin
our own trumpet" So it is. But, good reade
n we have a right to blow 1t, for we have earnt
IN that right; besides, you are entitled to kno
sa whether the REPUBLICAN is conducted by exp
PS renced or inexperienced men.
NJ A very small portion Of the WEEKLY REPU
40 LLCAN will be devoted to advertising, and on
ed that class of advertisements which will pro-
IN of the greatest value TO our country readers VI
nd be admitted. 1t is printed on Double Sup
Royal sheet, q by AZ inches, and contains
columns of reading matter.
The Literary Department of the REPUBLICl
will be supplied with choice, selected and OF
ginal prose and poetry, from the ablesL write
az In this country and in Europe.
We shall permit nothing, knowingly, to ent
- the columns of the REPUBLICAN that will Offer
- the susCeptibilities of the most refined.
~ In BRIEF we purpose making the REPUBLIcl
all a FAMILY Newspaper of the highest and INC
", complete order.
