TO THE PEOPLE.

The session Of Congress, which hes ms,
minated, will be long and gratefully remembsr.db.
all true republicans for the triumphant spcc.s. :,
many of their cherished principles and messo,..
While we heartily rejoice the triumph of the p,0
epes which il has been our constant effort to sdva
tesnd defend, and from which no prosperirv :.
adversely, can swerve usi we cannot be unminas',
Of the attitude in which We are placed by a r.e,0,
vote of both houses Of Congress:-we aIlude ~ a.
contemplated withdrawal Of their patronage f,O,.
the newspaper press. To this decision we chez,
fully bow, sensible as Of the patriotic motive,
which have led to IT, But we trust that this deeso
Congress increases rather than dimlnishes an,
claim to the support of higher power--that on,
people, and tothsm we confidently appeal to aid a,
by their patronage, in sustaining at the seat of vov
srnment journal that Is inaexiby devoted to th,,
interests and the true interests Of the country.
IL rs known 70 every one, that the chief source =,
sustaining a newspaper is not the magnitude Of a,
subscription list so much as the advertising pa,ro
age which may be bestowed upon il, In lay,.
commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usually n.
concomitant of the fermer, as il becomes IN, ~
Vious interest OF mereaptle men to advertise in
those papers which are ths most extensively ei,,n.
ated, Washington, however, in differently s,O.
ated Deprived Of the advertising patronage io.L
dent TO mercantile Community, and burdened win
peculiar and enormous expenses wnich arc ma,
elsewhere incurred, nothing but very long hat AZ
subscribing patrons can sustain paper in useful
ness-if, indeed, even in existence. The pronr,
tors Of the "Union" have hitherto spared no Main.
and no expense, to make their paper worthy Of u.
metropolis, and worthy Of the support Of that sr,,
party under whose banner they are enlisted II
publishing tho most full and ample debates Of "A,
two houses Of Congress, ii is believed, ever bsfo,.
attempted on this continent in daily newsnan.,
they have secured the services of the best repor,
which the country afforded, but at the enormou,
cost OF sl2, 900 or $4,000 per year Their e,t,0.
siye foreign and domestic correspondence ia ono,h.,
large item of expense, but the instructive useful,
ness of which is so highly commended and appr.
cated as to justify almost any outlay to attain !,
Still, it must be evident that these heavy expens,,
cannot be borne, unless the Subscription list il ,on
mensurate to the undertaking; and although we can
boast Of $4,000 subscribers, (incuding daily. tr-
weekly, and ~eeky,) yet this list must be still coD.
sderably enlarged TO enable the proprietors of ~.
"Union" to sustain all its usefulness and 70 inurs
| them against pecuniary loss. Invoking. than
again, the AID and support Of all true friends Of rel
publican go 'ernment, and pledgng ourselves 10 re
newed efforts in the of the glorious princin,
| we cherlsh, we offer the following proposals
| The "Daily Uniono will be published az here,

character hitherto has been almost exclusively pot.
lca We purpose in future to devote portion Of
its columns to domestic news of general n,sr.s,

the matter obtained in the "Daiiy Union,n exeep,

Enlargement OF the Weekly Union
The "Weekly Uni0no is issued every Satur
day; and as arrangements in progress TO enlarge
1t to near double its present size we shall soon be en-
abled to give nearly every article which may appear
| IN the daily and semi-weekly ediuons al the exN
tremely low rate of 81. We propose also to give,
in this edition, complete synoptical summary Of
| the proceedings in both houses of Consress-tbus
| rendering the weekly Un,oun most valuable
channel Of information 10 all classes of our country
But, to remunerae for this enterprise an exten-
sive subscription list is absolutely Indispensable.
Congressional Register.
In addition TO the foregoing, we have resolved to
publish during the sessions Of the national legisla
ture, Congressional Register" to be issued week
ly, and to contain FULL REPORT of the daily pro-
ceedings and debates OF both houses. Indeed, the
arrangements which we have made with the yery
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
"Union," carefully revised by an experienced edi-
| tor, and will constitute complete and authentic
record Of the session. An appendix will he added,
| uniform with the Register and to be sent gratui-
tousy to subscribers, comprising a list of the acts
passed during the session, with synopsis of their
| contents, and reference, when necessary to pre-
vlous legislation. This will form the most COM
plete history of the sessions of Congress- and will
be furnished at the low price of sEvENTr-vIvE CENTS
