important THAI ever, will be the subject OF our
constant and paternal care.

always affords an ample field for the Journalist,

7th. Our Postal arrangements, so important
to the people Of every community, DC Il large
or small, especially to those who can read and

Above, In a general form, VIC have given
t,Oelve reasons why the NATIONAL REPU .LICAH
published In the City Of Washington, Possesses
greater facilities for obtaining all the import
ant news of the day, of every description, thar
any other Journal In the United States. III,
highest evidence OF this, which relieves VS. from
the charge of ogotisn, is the fact witnessed al
over the nation daily (by those who care to OF
= serve I'D that the leading, widest circulated
i and most influential journals IN tuo Unitet
!, States gather the most important Departmental
:, operations, official and otherwise, from tn
t. columns Of the SATIONAL REPUBLICAN. Th
% Is true in face OF the well known feet tina
many OF the propretors Of those Journals pay
l.. enormous sums OF money yearly to Also
clatcd Press" aud Especial Correspondents
b so called, to furnish them with the currcn,
news of the day. We regret to say, In this
connection, that those correspondents do moi
always inform their employers that they ar,
; not the authors OF many Of tie most important
dispatches they send over the wires al on OK
pense Of four cents pr icOr!, by crediting then
10 the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, as they in JUS
tice should do. We especially think the
should credit us when they GncroaCh so far a
l. to telegraph our editorials, bodily, as buini
their Ol9n compositions. However, we beg par
- don for this complaining depression, and will
not deny that we observe, iu all this unfair
q ness, u compliment 10 our Industry ON tie par
of these plagiarlsts.
Politically the REPUBLICAN will support n
v earnestly as possible the civil and militnr
!. policy OF the present Administration, Will
that policy is for Freedom in It's broadest an
