WEEKLY NATIONAL REPUBLICAN


II is the present purpose of the undersigned,
proprletors ofth DAILY and WEEKLY NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN, to make the latter more thorough
and reliable newspaper for Families and Clubs
throughout the country, than II 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
a general way, to indicate what we propose
doing, assuring the public that wO shall use
our utmost endeavors TO perform faithfully all
that we promise.
The facilities afforded Us 10 produce = tho

enjoyed by the publishers Of any other journal
! In the country, for the following reasons:
lst. The REPUBLICAN is published at WASH

ment.
ID. THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
being authorized by an act of Congress to select
one paper as the official medium Of all the Exc

pleasure in stating that ne has done us the
honorto 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 sit here during each year, and we employ
q corps Of able REPORTERS, whose duty Il Is
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 eH-
isting between the Government and the Ma
TIoSAL 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 mere
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 Of
the undersigned. Some Of the ablest w.i'e-s
in the United States are frequently employee 70
discuss the subject in the REPuBf rCAN.
9TH. Our Postal arrangements IMPORTANT
TO the people of every community, / Il large
} or email, especially to those who can read and
write, are duly noted in the several chanr's 10
J which they are subject during the year.
Sth. The great interests represented by the
several bureaus of the Interior Department
will not be overlooked in the WEEKLY RRPUB.
, 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 Eve
minutes walk Of our office of publication, II
, will be an easy matter, as II will be pleasure
for US to keep the Inventor and Artizan advised
20 of all Improvements.
10th. The Smithsonian Institute, established
In Washington, having already become one OF
the highest scientific Institutions in the nation,
we shall avail ourselves Of the advantages ofits
Bureaus of Art and Science to enrich our col
umns for the instruction of our readers.

the Union, the learned and influential men o.
every class in society congregate here-military,

r tves Of every branch Of business taxed by the
Internal Revenue Laws-deputaton of citizens
for purposes Of State, and politicians and theo.
logians Of every stripe, who come in focks,
some for office, some for business, and some
for pleasure. Each and all of these corners
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 unclvll repre-
sentatives of every foreign nation on the earth,
are found here, and cannot act or move unher.
aided by our active attaches.
Above, in a general form, we have given
tDelve 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, Is the fact witnessed ali
!. serve it) that the leading, widest circulated
il and most influential journals In the United
3, States gather the most important Departments
y news, especially of our military and nava
= operations, official and otherwise, from the
= columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. This
g 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.
l. clated Press" and Especial Correspondents, -"
b 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 ex.
pense of four cents per ,rOrd by crediting them
to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In Jus.
: tice should do. We especially think they
y should credit us when they encroach so far as
/. TO telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
TIER o,91t compositions. However, we beg par
don for this complaining DEPRESSION, and will
not deny that We observe, In all this unfair
4, ness, a compliment 10 our industry on the pArt
d of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support al
!, earnestly as possible the civil and military
!, policy OF the present Administration, whit
that policy is for FREEDOM in its broadest anC
\. highest sense, and against Slavery. When u
e. present, or any Other administration, puraRs

~ that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corp
of Reporters engaged upon the national RE

IN that right besides, you are entitled to know
