TO THE PEOPLE

minated, will be long and gratefully remembered by
all true republicans for the triumphant success of
many of their cherished principles and measures.
while we heartily rejoice at the triumph of the prn
ps- which il has been our constant effort To adyo-
sdyer.,,sa sfend and from which no prosperity, no
of the so,'' a swerve us; we cannot be unmindfuI
vote of both mon. which we are placed by recent
contemplated wilma congress;--we allude to the
The newspaper press. To ,s ns'r patronage from
fully bow, sensible we are Of aeelI'on we cheer
which have led to it. But we trus, ,es' motives
Congress Increases rather than aiu,in,.S.a"
claim to tho support Of higher power--,h., .Sa
people, and to them We confidently appeal TO aid as
by Asir patronage, in sustaining at the scat OF gov
eminent Journal that is inexibly devoted to their
interests and the true interests of the country.
IL is known TO every one, that the chief source of
sustainngs newspaper Is not the magnitude Of ils
subscription list, so much tho advertising patron
age which may DO bestowed upon il. In large
commercial Cities indeed, the latter is usually the
eoncomitant Of tho former, as il becomes the OBJ
vious interest Of mercantile men to advertise in
those papers which the most extensively circu-
la'ed. Washington, however, is differently stu-
aled' 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 "Union" 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, is believed ever before
attempted on this continent in a daily newspaper,
they have secured the services Of the best reporter,
which the country afforded, but at the enormous
cost $4,000 or $4,000 per year. Their extern
ave foreign and domestic correspondence is another
large item Of expense, but the instructive useful
ness OF which is 80 highly commended and appre-
ciated as to justify almost any outlay to attain H.
Sui, 1t must be evident that these heavy expense.
cannot be borne, unless tho subscription list is COM
mensurae to the undertaking; and although we can
boast OF $1,000 subscribers, (incudins daily, tri
weekly, and weeky) yet this list must be still con-
''deraby enlarged to enable the proprietors 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 pedging ourselves to re-
newed efforts in the cause Of the glorious principles
we cherish, We Offer the 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.
lcal We purpose in future to devote a portion of
Its columns to domestic news of general interest,
and to miscellaneous literature, which, without i'm
pairing its political influence may render it the more
acceptable to an extended class of readers.
The "semi- Weekly Union'' will be publish
ed every Monday and Thursday, during the recess
of Congress, at IS per annum. This contains all
the matter contained in the "DaRy UniOn" except
local advertisements. During the sessions of Con-
gross three numbers, instead Of two, will be issued
without any extra charge to subscribers.
Enlargement OF the weekly Union.
The "weekly Union" is issued every Satur-
day. and as arrangements in progress to enlarge
1t to near double It's present szs, shall soon be en-
abed to give nearly every article which may appear
in the daily and semi-weeky editions, at the ex-
tremely low rate of -. We propose also to give,
in this edition, complete synoptical 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 enterprise an extern
sve subscription list is absolutely indispensable.
Congressional Register.
In addition to the foregoing we have resolved to
publish, during the sessions of the national leesls
ture, Congressional Register" to be issued week.
ly, and to contain a FULL REPORT of the daily pro-
ceedings and debates Of both houses. Indeed, tho
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
"Union," carefully revised by an experienced edi-
tor, and will constitute a complete ard authentic
record of the session. An appendix will be added,
uniform with the Register, and to be sent gratu-
tously to subscribers, comprising list of the acts
passed during the session, with synopsis Of their
and reference, when necessary, to pre-
vious legislation. This will form the most COM
plete history of the sessions of Congress- and will
be furnished at the low price of sEvEsTY-rIvE CENTS
for the next session. r'
