TO THE PEOPLE.


TNHE session of Congress-, which has Just termi.
l. mated, will be long and gratefully remembered
by all true republicans for the triumphant SUCCESS
OF many of their cherished principles and mca-
sutes. While VIC heartily rejoice at the triumph
OF the principles which it has been our constant eff
fort to advocate and defend, and from which no
prosperity, no adversity, can swerve us VIC can
not be unnindful of the attitude in which VIC are
placed by a recent vote of both houses of Congress {:

their patronage from the newspaper press. To
this decision we chccrfully bow, sensible as we arc
OF the patriotic motives which have led to it. But
