TO THE PEOPLE.

Inc sossioh OF Sohkfossb wnich mas Just Ter
minated, will be long and gratefully remembered by
all true republicans for the triumphant success OF
many Of their cherished principles and measures
While ws heartily rejoies at tho triumph Of the prn-
cpes which il has been our constant effort to adyo-
cate and defend and from which no prosperity, no
adversely, can swerve US; cannot be unmindful
OF the attitude in which we placed by recent
vote of both houses Of Congress;--we slude to the
contemplated Withdrawal of their patronage from
'he newspaper press. To this decision We cheer
fully bow sensible are of the patriotic motives
which have led TO H. Butw trust that this decision of
Congress increases rather than diminshes our
claim to the support Of higher power-that ofhs
peoples and to them We confidently appeal to aid US,
by their patronage, in sustaining the seat Of gov
ernment journal that is naexiby devoted to their
interests and the true interests of the country
IL is known to every one that the chief source Of
sustaining newspaper is not the magnitude Of its
subscrp ton list, much the advertising patron
age which may be bestowed upon il. In large
commercial cities indeed, the latter is usually the
concomitant Of the former, il becomes the OBJ
yious interest Of mercantile men to advertise in
those papers which are the most extensively eircu-
lated. Washington, however, is differently situ-
sted. Deprived Of the advertising patronage Incl
dent TO mercantile community, and burdened with
peculiar and enormous expenses which are not
elsewhere incurred, nothing but very long list Of
subscribing patrons can sustain paper in useful
ness-if, indeed, even in existence. The proprie-
tors Of the "Unon" have hitherto spared no pains,
and no expense, To make their paper worthy of the
metropolis, and worthy Of the support Of that great
party under whose banner they are enlisted. In
publishing the most full and ample debates Of the
two houses Of Congress, s believed, ever before
attempted on this continent In a daily newspaper,
they have secured tho services Of the best reporters
which the country afforded, but at the enormous
cost Of $4,000 or $4,000 per year. Their exten-
siye foreign and domestic correspondence is another
arge item Of expense, but the instructive useful
meas Of which is 90 highly commended and appre-
eiated to justify almost any outlay TO attain it,
STILL it must be evident that these heavy expense.
cannot be borne, unless the subscription list is com
mensuraie to the undertaking; and although we can
boast Of 5000 subscribers, (incuding daily, tn
weekly and weeky) yet this list must be still con-
sderably enlarged to enable the propretors Of the
Union" to sustain all its usefulness and TO insure
them against pecuniary loss. Invoking, then,
again, the aid and support Of all true friends Of re-
publican government, and pledging ourselves to re-
newed efforts in the cause Of tho glorious principles
we cherish, we offer tho following proposals;
The "Daily Union" will be published as here
tofore, at $40 per annum, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto has been almost exclusively pot-
ical. We purpose in future to devote portion of
its columns to domestic news Of general interest,
and to miscellaneous literature, which, without inn
pairing its political influence, may render it the
acceptable to an extended class Of readers.
The "semi- Weekly Uniono will be publish
e. every Monday and Thursday, during the recess
Of Congress, at IS per annum. This contains all
the matter oontained in the "Daiy UniOn," except
local advertisements. During the sessions of Con-
grcss three numbers instead Of two, will be issued
without any extra charge to subscribers.
Enlargement OF the weekly Union.
| The "Weekly Uniono is issued every Satur
day; and arrangements in progress to enlsrgf
it to near double u, present size, shall be
abled to give nearly every article which may appear
in the daily and semi-weekly editions, at the e1-
tremely low rate Of -. We propose also to give,
in this edition, complete synoptcal summary of
the proceedings in both houses Of Congress-thus
rendering the weekly Union" most valuable
channel Of information to all classes of country.
But to remunerate for this enterprise, an exteu-
sve subscription list is absolutely indispensable.
Congressional Register.
In addition to the foregoing we have resolved to
publish, during the sessions of the national legsla-
ture, Congressional Regsfer," to be issued week
lly, and to contain a FULL REPORT of the daily pro-
ceedings 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 pro-
} duced during this session, superior as we claim
them to be to any preceding ones The Register
will be made up from the daily reports in the
I"Union," carefully revised by an experienced ed-
tor, and will constitute complete and authentic
record of the session. An appendix will be added,
uniform with the Register, and to be sent gratui-
tousy to subscribers, comprising list of the acts
passed during the session, with a synopsis Of their
contents, and reference, when necessary, to pre-
vious legislation. This will form the most COM
pete history of the sessions of Congress, and will
be furnished at the low price of sEvENrr-rvE CENTS
for the next session. .....
IL PosTMAsTBRs are authorized to act as our
agents; and by sending us five yearly subscribers,
with the subscription money, for either the Daily,
Semi Weekly or Weekly, will be entitled to one copy
of the edition as they furnish us subscribers
for. ~# e..
