aided by our active attaches.
| Above, in a general form, We have given
t,ceIve reasons why the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
published in the City of Washington, possesse &c
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
over the nation daily (by those who care to OBJ
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 nava
operations, official and otherwise, from the
columns of the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. This
Is true In face of the well known fact that
many OF the proprietors of those journals pay
enormous sums of money yearly to $50.
ciated Press" and Especial Correspondents, )"
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 'Oord, by crediting them
| to the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, as they in JUS
tice should do. We especially think they
should credit us when they encroach so far az
TO telegraph our editorials, bodily, as being
their oi0n compositions. However, we beg par.
don for this complaining DEPRESSION, and will
not deny that we observe, in all this unfair,
ness, a compliment TO 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 its broadest and
highest sense, and against Slavery. When II,
present, or any OTHER administration, ptirSllss
different course on hs question Of human slavery
zoe shall oppose Nth our might dnd main, Coo
helping us, PATRONAGE OR NO PATRONAGE.
The domestic and personal news of the day
will always receive prompt and careful atten
ton.
II is but proper and Just to our readers to say
+ that the Publishers, Editors, and entire corps
of Reporters engaged upon the NATIONAL Rn
! PUBLICAN are thorough, practical newspape
men in the broadest sonse of the term. Tn,

upon the leading presses of tho country, occu
pying at times The most arduOus and response
BILE positions. This may seem like "blowint
our own trumpet" so 1t is. But, good reader
: we have a right TO blow 1t, Tor we have earneC
! that right besidei, you are entitled to know
whether the REPUBLICAN is conducted by expe
renced or inexperienced men.
