The facilities afforded rs 10 produce tho

9Th. washington being the Headquarters for
all the operations Of the Army and Navy Of

listing between the Government and the ma
TIosIL REPUBLICAN, referred 70 above, nothing

important than ever, win be the subject Of our
constant and paternal care .-

always affords an ample field for the Journalist,
shall meet with the most careful attention Of
the undersigned. Some Of the ablest writers
In the United States are frequently employed 70
discuss The subject In the REPUBLICAN.
It'll. Our Postal arrangements, so imro-tnNt
10 the people Of every community, be IL lark'
or small, especially TO those who can read and
write, are duly noted In the several changes TO
which they are subject during the year.

Above, In Q general form, We have giveI
tsslvs reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
published In the City Of Washington, possesse
. greater facilities for obtaining all the import
i ant news Of the day, OF every description, thai
any other Journal In the United States. Tn
highest evidence OF this, which relieves US iron
the charge Of egotism, 10 the fact witnessed al
over the nation daily (by those who care to Of
serve ID that the leading, widest circulated
, and most influential journals In the Unite
!, States gather the most important Departments
\ news, especially Of our military and nays
) operations, official and otherwise, from tn
: columns Of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Thi
' 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, ,
90 called, TO furnish them with the curren
} news Of the day. We regret TO say, In thi
connection, that those correspondents do no
always inform their employers that they ar,
not the authors Of many Of the most importAn
dispatches they send over the wires at an ex
pense Of four cents per word, by crediting then
| 70 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In jus
tice should do. We especially think the,
should credit Us when they encroach so far a
TO telegraph our editorials, bodily, as beIn.
their Don compositions. However, we beg par
don for this complaining depression, and will
not deny that we observe, in al this unfair
ness, compliment 70 our industry on the par
Of these plagiarists.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support A
earnestly a. possible the civil and milItar
policy Of the present Administration, Will
that policy Ia for FRKEDoM In Its broadest an
highest sense, and against Slavery. Whsn d
present, or any Other administration, ptralss

The domestic and personal news Of the da
: will always receive prompt and careful after
: ton.
It Ii but proper and Just 10 our readers to "a
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corr
of Reporters engaged upon the National Ri

both been engaged for more than twenty year

!, upon the leading presses Of the country, occJ
pying Of times the most arduous and respons
bic positions. This may seem like "blowin
y our own trumpet" 30 It is. But, good reade
we have q right TO blow 1t, for we have earne
: that right; besides, you are entitled TO kno

rienced or inexperienced men.
