The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1846-01-01
NEW ARRANGEMENTS

With the commencement of the new year, we
again come forward to renew our pledsen that no
labor or srp,ns. will be spared in making the
"Union" every way worthy of the patronage Of
our country. ......
In a word, we are determined 10 do our duty to
the best Of our means and abilities. We have en-.
parked in an enterprise somewhat new to u.s. We
have come to Washington to support the great
principles Of the republican party and the best
interests Of The republic. We have come here
with firm determination, for this object, to
preserve the union OF our party. Upon that
that union hangs our success. Upon the success of
the principles which they profess depends, as we
honestly believe, the stability of our Union and the
prosperity OF the country. Committed to no clique
bound to no aspirant-it becomes our duty, as il
will be our pleasure, to consult the harmony of the
party, asd sacrifice no man for any other man.
Upon one point we wish again to be distinctly un-
derstood. We scorn to enlist under any mans ban
ner for the presidency. We forbcar to engage in
any Of the succession; and if the voice of man
who has not lived inactive political life for more
than forty years, and who understands something
| of the spirit of his countrymen, may deserve the
| slightest respect, he would warn every one of his
friends from engaging in this premature contest. Do
your duty to your country, and idly dream not of
ambition. If this administration stamp by its sue.

which was made at the Baltimore convention in
May, 1874, the people will take up, at their own
proper time, the man whom they desire to serve

satisfactory evidence of the excellence of our corps

probation. Encouraged by this success we intend
to go farther and give to arrangements still

ed by strong corps of assistants will devote himself
to the production of the reports of debates in the
Senate-debates which will this session be invested
with peculiar interes, and Importance. We are
well assured that by this arrangement we will be
enabled to give the best reports Of the debates and
proceedings in Congress ever published.
Weare ambitious of publishing paper that is wor-
thy of the Union. For this purpose, we shall SPARE
no pains in enlisng the services Of men of talent.
We shall do more. We shall establish regular cor
respondence from EUROPE, and the large commercial
CITIES of our own country. We are making ar
rangements for another decided Improvement of
our paper. We shall freely avail ourselves of one
Of the greatest discoveries Of the age, soon as il
is possible to carry out our projected schemes OF
this Improvement, however due notice will be given.
But these measures cannot be prosecuted without a
very heavy outlay Of money, and it therefore be-
comes the duty Of our subscribers to aid in car
rying our plans into effect by prompt payment Of
their subscriptions. ~. n ... ...... :.
Circumstances compel us to adopt and carry out
strictly the CASH SYSTEM; and from this date,
the name Of no person will be entered our books
unless the payment Of the subscription be made in
advance. MI.
We intend, also, to furnish our present subscri-
bers with their accounts as soon as possiblc and

our list where the arrears have not been dis
charged.
Distant subscribers may forward us money by
letter; the postage on which will be paid by us,
and all risk assumed by ourselves in It's safe trans
mission.
This new arrangement is made in spirit Of JUS
tice to ourselves, as well 70 subscribers: for
If they do not pay us, how can we print the paper
that we desire to publish for their benefit, as well
as for our own credit
