THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.


We have the satisfaction-it is agree
able to us at least-of announcing TO our
readers, and the public, that we have re-
moved our Office from 5ll Ninth street to
the building owned by Gen. PETER FoRcE,
and rendered classical ground, it having
for many years been the receptacle Of his
unique library. In the rooms We now oc.
cupy, Mr.. FoRos treasured his many re-
markable volumes and curious records,
and by patience and perseverance did what
scarcely any other American has done
gathered together one Of the most peculiar
and remarkable libraries in the world.
This has been sold to the Government,
and now occupies the spacious and beauti-
full alcoves in the Congressional Library
at the Capitol. Mr.. FoRoE has done q
noble work for his country, and the Gov
ernment has been fortunate indeed IN Sc
curing his collection Of rare books.


Our Office is located on the northeast
corner Of Tenth and D streets, fronting
Pennsylvania avenue, and is one Of the
most eligible locations in the city, and,
as now arranged, Just suited to the pur.
poses for which it is used


The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN has now q
local habitation and home. From this
point we shall henceforth greet our numer.
Gus friends and patrons each morning; and
it is our purpose to give daily such q
journal that every reader will as soon
think Of emitting to cat his breakfast, as
to neglect to read our columns We know
how easy and how common thing it is
to boast, and therefore we have generally
preferred to let our works praise us and
not our pen. We shall dismiss on this
occasion all false modesty, and speak
right out and tell the public what we are
and what our future course will be.


We can say truthfully that from the
day the gentleman who is now the sole
proprietor and publisher Of this journal
took the exclusive control and manage.
ment Of it, it has grown in public favor,
had q constant, steady, and permanent in.
crease, is still adding to its subscription
lists bona ytide subscribers, and its con-
stantly increasing advertising patronage
gives the assurance that it will soon be
permanent, as it is now q paying con-
cern. The REPUBLICAN is already a fixed
fact, and must remain to help mould the
& institutions Of the city and of the country.
The REPUBLICAN is bound to live and pros
per if labor, sacrifice, and earnest effort,
and correct principles ever merit success.
With US there is no such word as fail"


The reportorial staff Of this journal
have been selected with reference to their
fitness for the positions they occupy;
and il industry and perseverance can ac-
complish anythingin way Of making first
class newspaper, they will be sure to win.
Already the REPUBLICAN has the reputa,
tion Of being the best local paper in Wash.
ington, and the gentlemen who make up
its local columns are admirably adapted
to the work they have in hand. They will
daily and nightly perambulate the city,
and everything Of local and public interest
will be chronicled in the pages of the Re-
PUBLICAN.


As to who may be the editorial WE, the
public do not care to know. 1t is sufIi.
cient that this individual who speaks from
the sanctum should speak wisely; that he
should give such thoughts, such argu-
ments and such views Of great public
questions as may carry instruction and
warning, and, If possible, enlightenment
in every word. 10 him the readers look
for the makeup of readable and an en-
tertaining paper. So far as the NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN is concerned, we mean they
shall never be disappointed.


The REPUBLICAN, will be independent;
and though not the organ of any sect or
party in politics or religion, it will not
ignore either politics or religion, Politics
ID the science Of Government, and every
question that relates to that science or to
good government viii be appropriately
considered and discussed in this poper.
Religiop ID righteousness, justice, love and
peace-good-will towards all mankind and
love to God. All these great cardinal yir.
tues will be upheld and maintained by US to
the best OF our ability.


O We shall never indulge in offensive per
sonalities, nor, in discussing questions o
vital moment, turn to abuse individuals
who do not agree with us. Neithe
shall we allow u sentence or o wor,
TO sully this sheet, which, properly consid
cred, can offend good manners, good taste
and good morals,


We have laid down our programme, W,
have said our say we might soy more
but we conclude by asking public patron
age, and from what we have seen in th,
past in this regard, we have full confdenc,
10 the future.
