there were already six Federal newspapers-to

dead weight Of an expenditure of $4,000 in

Unionto give 1.-THE sanction Of the highest trib-

enabled to maintain, as heretofore, our corps
Of Congressional Reporters atthe cost 900

ablest pens i'll our country. We trust, under
these circumstances, and at time when the
greatest interest of the country, and its future
which the first year Of the present Administra-
ton is pregnant, that no individual who has the
cause of Democracy at heart, will hesitate to
meet this appeal, when nj the same time he will
feel assured that this triAing tax for his own ad-
vantage, will sustain in triumph at Washington,
the iong-tried and faithful press ofhis party.
