yEyHE session of Congress, which has just ter
d minated, will be long and gratefully ren1enl- |
bered by all true republicans for the trIumPhaI,
success of many of their cherished principles ana
measures. While we heartily rejoce at the III
umph of the principles which it has been our con-
slant effort TO advocate and defend, and ON which
no rosperity, no adversely. can sWerVe us; we
cannot be lnmindfu of the attldude III which we
are placed by recent vote of both houses of Con-
press we aIIude TO the contemplated withdraw al
of their patronage from the newspaper press. To
this decision we cheerfuliy bow, sensible are
of the patriotic motives which have led to it. Blu
we trust that this decision of Congress increases
rather than dmnishes our claim to the support OF
high power-that of the people,; and to them
we confidently appeal to aid U.s. by their patron
age, in sustaining at the seat of government
journal that is infexiby devoted to their interests
and the true interests CT the country.
1t is known to every one that the chief source
OF sustaining newspaper Is not the magnitude OF
its subscription list, much as the advertising
patronage which may be be slowed upon it. In
large commercial cities indeed, the latter is usual
ly the concontant of The former as it becomes the
obvious interest of mercantile men to advertise In
those papers which are the most extensively cIcu-
| lated. Washington, however, is differently stu
ated. Deprived of the advertising patronage incl
! dent to q mercantile community, and burdened
! with peculiar and enormous expenses which are
not elsewhere incurred, nothing bat very long
| list of subscribing patrons sustain paper IN
usefulness-i, indeed, even in existence. The
prsprietors Of the "Unon" have hitherto spared no
pains, and expense, to make their paper wo--
thy of the metropolis, and worthy OF the support OF
that great party under whose banner they are en-
| listed. In publishing the most full and ample de-
bates of the two houses of Congress, 1t is believed,
ever before attempted on this continent in daily
newspaper, they have secured the services of the
hest reporters which the country afforded. but at
tho enormous cost of Sl2, 900 or 900 per year
Their extensive foreign and domestic correspon-
dence is another large item of expense, but the in
siructive usefulness of which is SO highly COM
mended and appreciated as to justify almost any
outlay to attain it. Still, it must be evident that
these heavy expenses cannot be borne, unless the
subscription list is commensurate to the underak-
ing and although we can boast of 1000 subscri-
bers, GncIuding daily, tri-weeky, and weekIy,)
yet this list must be still considerably en- arged to
enable the proprietors of the ''Union' to sustain
all its usefulness, and to insure them against pc
cuniary loss. Invoking then, again, the aid and
support of all true friends Of republican govern
ment, and pIedgng ourselves to renewed efforts in
offer the following proposals:
The "DAII.Y UNION' will be published as
heretofore, at 81 per annum, payable in advance.
Its character hitherto has been almost exclusively
political. We purpose in future to devote por-
ton of it's columns to domestic Of general in
terest, and to miscellaneous literature which, with
out imparing its political influence may render 1t
the more acceptable to an extended class OF rca'
F ders
The "SEMI-W UNION" will he pub
lishcd every Monday and Thursday, during the
recess of Congress, at SIS per annum. This COLI
tains all the matter contained in the Duly u
Mon" except local advertisements. During the
sessions of Congress three Numbers, instead Of two
will be issued without any extra charge to subscrl
bers.
Enlargement Of the Weekly Union.
The "WEEKLY UNION' is issued every Sa-
turday; and as arrangements in progress to en-
large it to near double its present size, we shall
soon be enabled to give nearly every article which
may appear in the daily and senii-weekly editions
at the extremely low rate of So. We propose al
so to give, i'll this edition, complete synoptlca
summary of the proceedings in both houses Of
Congress-thus rendering the weekly Union" &
most valuable channel Of information to all classes
Of our country. But, to remunerate US for this
|
luteIy Indispensable
CONGREGATIONAL REGISTER.
In addition to the foregoing we have resolved tc
$ publish, during the sessions Of the national legis
lature, " Congressional Register" to be ISSUED
Il weekly, and to contain FULL REPORT of the dal
ly 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
c even full and extended reports than we have
produced during this session, superior we claim
n them to be TO any preceding ones. The Register
e will be made up from the daily reports in thu
e Union" careful y revised by an experienced edl
l. tor, and will constitute complete and authentic
l. record of the session. An appendix will be add
it ed, uniform with the Register and to be sent gra
tuitcuslv to subscribers comprising a list of thu
y acts passed during the session, with synopsis o
IS their contents, and reference when necessary, tt
d previous legislation This will form the most com
n plete history of the sessions of Congress- and vii
n be furnished at the low price of sEvENTYFIvl
2 CENTS for the next session.
