To The Pe0nle.

The session Of Congress, which is about to
terminate, will be long and gratefully remem-
bered by all true republicans for the triumphant
success of nany Of their cherished principles
and measures. While we heartily rejoice at
the triumph ofthe principles which it has been
our constant effort to advocate and defend
and from which no prosperity, no adversely, cat
swerve US we cannot be unmndful of the at
iitude in which we are placed by recent vote
OF both houses of Congress I'VE aude to the
contemplated withdrawal of their patr image
from the newspaper press. To this decision
we cheerfully bow, sensible as we are OF the pa
trotc motives which have led to it, But we
trust that this decision of Congress increased
rather than diminishes our claim to The support
of h CHER power--that of The people and to
them we confidently appeal to aid US, by their
patronage, in sustaining at the seat of govern
ment journal that is infexible devoted to their
interest and the true interests Of the country.
Its known to every one, that the chief source
of sustaining newspaper is not the magnitude
of its subscription list, SO much as the advertis-
ing patronage which may be bestowed upon It.
In large camme rcial cities, indeed, the latter 10
usually the concomItant of the former, as it be-
comes the obvious interest OF mercantile men
to advertise in those papers which are the most
extensively circulated. Washington, however,
is differently situated. Depriving of the adyer

red, nothing but very long list of subsct ibing
patrons can sustain paper in usefulness--it,
indeed, even in existence. The propretors OF
the "UDon" 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 enlist.
ed. In publishing the most full and ample de-
bates Of the two houses of Congress, it is be-
lieved, ever before attempted on this continent
in daily newspaper, they have secured the SER
vices of the best reporters which the country
afforded, but at the enormous cost of $4,000 or
$4,000 per year. Their extensive foreign
aud domestic correspondence is another large
item of expense, but the instructive usefulness
of which is so highly commended and apprecia.
ted as to Justify almost any outlay TO attain it.
Still, it must be evident that these heavy expen.
SEES cannot be borne, unless the subscription list
is commensurate 10 the undertaking and al
though we can boast OF $1,000 subscribers. (in-
Guiding daily, tri weekly, and weekly.) vet this
list must be still considerably enlarged to enable
the proprietors of the Union" 10 sustain all its
usefulness, and to insure them against pecuni-
airy loss. Invoking, then, again, the aid and
ernlnent, and pledgng ourselves to renewed
efforts in the cause of the glorious principles
we cherish, we offer the following proposals
t,.', THE DAILY "UNION"
Will be published, as heretofore, at $40 per
annuIn, payable in advance. Its character hih-
erto has been almost exclusively political. We
purpose in future 10 devote portion OF it's col
umns to domestic news of general interest, and
10 miscellaneous literature, which, without i'm :
pairing It's political influence. may render it the
more acceptable to an extended class OF read
ers.
THE "SEMLWEEKLY UNION"
Will be published every Monday and Thurs
day, during the recess Of Congress, at S. rer
annum. This contains all the matter contained
in the "Daiiy Union," except local advertise
ments. During the sessions Of Congress three
numbers, instead oftwo, will be issued, without
any extra charge to subscribers.
The Enlargement of tile Weekly
THE "WEEKLY UNION"
Is issued every Saturday and as arrange
ments are in progress to enlarge it to near dou-
bic its present size, We shall soon be enabled TO
give nearly every arrriU wtITctI may appear In
the daily and semi weekly editions, at the ex-
tremely low rate of 81. We propose also 10
give, in this edition., complete synoptical sum
mary Of the proceedings in both houses of Con-
gress thus rendering the "Weekly Union, a
most valuable channel of information to all
classes of our country. But, TO remunerate us
for this enterprise, an extensive subscription list
is absolutely indispensable.
We seize this opportunity to add that some
delay has taken place IN putting our paper to
press, which has prevented ito early delivery TO
our rea ders, and consequently circumscrbed it's
circulation. We shall make ARA gemenis to
remedy this defect, and to obviate this objection.
After the present week we trust that no com.
plant will be made upon this subject.
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
In ADDITION 10 the foregoing, we have resolved
to publish: during the session Of the national
Legislature, a "Congrcssionai Register" to be
issued weekly, and to contain 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 extend.
ed reports than we have produced during this
session, superior az we claim them to be to any
preceding ones. The Register will be made up
from the daily reports III the "Union," carefully
revised BY an experienced editor, and will cons
stitute a complete and authentic record OF the
session. An appendix will be added, uniform
with the Register, and to be sent gratuiiously
to subscribers, comprising list Of the acts
passed during the SEES on, with synopsis of
their contents, and reference, when necessary,
| to previous legislation. This will form The most
complete history Of the sessions Of Congress,
and will be furnished at the low price Of Sew
ENTY-rIvE CENTS for the next session.

our agents and by sending us five yearly SUBJ
