aided by our active attaches.
Above, in a general form, we have given
tiDslOe 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 all

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 thu
columns of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. THIS
is true in face of the well known fact u lat
many of the proprietors of those journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly to " ASso.
ciated Press" and Especial Correspond ents -
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 word, by crediting them
TO the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they In JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit us when they Gncroach SO far as
TO telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their oi0R compositions. However, we beg par.
don for this complaining depression, and will
not deny that we observe, in all this unfair.
ness, a compliment 10 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 It's broadest and
highest sense, and against SGU,ry. When The
present, or any other administration ptrsIes a
different course on he question Of h,G,,ldn SLAVERY,
zoe shall oppose Il Nth our might aud main, God

The domestic and personal news of the day
will always receive prompt and careful atten.

1t is but proper and Just to our readers TO say
that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corps
of Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL RE.
PUBLICAN are thorough, practical newspaper
men In the broadest sOnse of the term. The
principal Editor, and his chief Assistant, have
both been engaged for more than twenty years

bic positions. This may seem like "blowing
our own trumpet" 20 II Is. But, good reader
we have right to blow 1t, for we have earned
that right; besides, you are entitled to know
whether the REPUBLICAN is conducted by expe-
rienccd or inexperienced men.
A very small portion of the WEEKLY REPUB-
LICAE will be devoted to advertising, and only
that class of advertisements which will prove
