TO THE PEOPLE.

TNHE session of Congress, which has ;us, ,crmi.
Il mated, will be long and gratefully remembered
by all true republicans for the triurnnhant success
of many of their cherished principles and inca.
sures. While VIC heartily rejoice at the triumph
OF The principles which il has been our cunstan mt e-
fort to advocate and defend, and from which no
prosperity, no adversely, can swerve us: VIC can.
not be uninindful of the attitude in which VIC are
placed by a recent vote of both houses of Congress:
we alludc to the contemplated withdra wal of
their patronage from the newspaper PRESS. To
this decision we chcerfully bow, sensible: Us VIC are
of the patriotic motives which have led to it. Blu,
we trust that this decision of Congress increases
rather than diminisheso our claim to the support OF
n higher power-that of the people and to whom
VIC confidently appeal to aid us, by Mei, patronage,
in sustaining at the seat of government u journal
that is inhexibly devoted to their interests and
the true interests of the country.
III known to every ono, that the chief source
OF sustaining a newspaper is not the magnitude of
Its subscription list, SO much as the ADVERTISING
patronage which may be bestowed upon il. la
large commercial cities, indeed, tho latter is usual
ly the concornitant of the former. as il becomes
the obvious interest OF mercantile men to advertise
in those papers which are the most extensively cir
cu'ated: Washington, howcver, is differently situ-
a'cd. Deprived of the advertising patronage Incl
ueml meroa"ti'c community, and burdened
with peculiar and enormous expcrs.s which are
not elsewhere incurred. nothing hut n very long
'lt OF SUBSCRIBING patrons can sustain a paper in
useiuiness-if. indeed, even IN existence. The pro-
pr:etors of the :" Uuion' have hitherto spared no
pains, and no cXpcusc, to make their paper worthy
nj the metropolis, and worthy OF the support of
that great party under whose banner thew are en-
,lstcn. IN publishing the most full and ample de-
bates OF the two h uses of Congress, it is believed,
ever before attempted on THE continent in a daily
newspaper, they have secured the services of tho
best reporters which the country afforded, but at

most valuable channel of inform,t ion to all classes

CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
In ADDITION to the foregoing, we have resolved to
lature, a :" Congressional Register to be issued
weekly. and to contain a FULL REPORT of the daily
proceedings and debates of both houses. Indeed,
the arrangements which we have made with the
very best corps of reporters will enable us To Give
even more full and extended reports than we have
produced during this session, superior as we claim
them TO be TO any preceding ones. The Rcgister
will be made up from the daily reports in the
g Union carefully revised by a experienced cdi-
tor, and viii constitute a complete and authentic
record oil the session. An appendix will be added,
uniform with the Register, and to NC sent gratui-
t"u<ly to subscribers, comprising a lists of the acts
passed during the session, with a synopsis of their
contents, and a reference, when necessary, to pre-
vious legislation: This will form the most com
pletc history of the sessions of Congress, and will
be furnished at the low price ofsEvENry.FIvE cENrs
