TO THE PEOPLE.

\ The session Of Congress- which has just ter
minated, will be long and gratefully rsmembsredby by
all true republicans for the triumphant success Of
many Of lhsir cherished principles aud measures.
While we heartily rejoice at the triumph Of the erin
eples which il has been our constant effort TO adyo-
cate and defend, and from wbich. no prosperity, no
adversely, can sweTe usi We cannot be unmindful
of the attitude in which we are placed by a recent
vote of both houses Of Congress:--ws aIlude TO the
contemplated withdrawal Of their patronage from
the newspaper press, To ths decision we cheer
fully bow, sensible are of tbs patriotic motives
which have led to IT, But trust that this decision OF
Congress increases rather than dimnishes our
claim to the support of a higher power--that ofhs
people, and to them confidently appeal TO aid us,
by their patronage, in sustaining at the seat Of gov
ernment journal that is inhexiby 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
subscription list, so 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, it becomes the OIL
Sious interest Of. mercantile men to advertise ia
those papers which are the most extensively ereu-
ated. Washington, however, is differently stu.
ated. Deprived Of the advertising patronage incl
dent to mercantile community, and burdsned with
peculiar and enormous expenses which are not
elsewhere incurred, nothing but very long list Of
subscribing patrons can sustain paper in useful
| Gess-f, indeed, even In existence. The propne-
Tors Of the "Union" have hitherto spared no palms,
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. Ia
publishing the most full and ample debates Of the
two houses Of Congress, IL is believed, ever before
attempted on this continent in daily newspaper,
they have secured the services Of the best reporters
which the country afforded, but at The enormous
cost OF sl2 900 or $4,000 per year Their extern
siye foreign and domestic correspondence is another
large item Of expense, but the instructive useful
ness of which is so highly commended and appre-
ciated to uadfy almost any outlay to attain il.
Still, it must be evident that these heavy expenses
cannot be borne, unless the subscription st is COM
mensurate to the undertaking. and although We can
boast OF $4,000 subscribers, (ineluding daily, tn
weekly, and ~eeky,) yet this list must be still con-
,deraby enlarged to enable the proprietors Of the
Union" to sustain all its usefulness, and insure
Them against pecuniary loss. Invoking, then,
again. the aid and support Of all true friends Of re-
) publican government and pedging ourselves to
newed efforts in the Of tho glorious principles
we cherish, offer the following proposals:
The "DaiIy Union" will be published, as here
tofore, at $40 per snnum, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto las been almost exclusively polt-
zeal. We purpose in future to devote portion Of
It's columns to domestic news Of general interest,
and TO miscellaneous literature, which, without i'm
pairing its political influence, may render 1t the more
acceptable to an extended class Of readers.
The "semi- weekly Union, will be publish
ed very Monday and Thursday, during the recess
Of Co. sr.ss, at S. per annum. This contains all
he matter .ortained in the "Daiiy UiOn," except
ocal Advertisements During the sessions Of Con
sress three numbers instead Of two, viii be issued,
Rithouta any extra charge to subscribers. #s ..
Enlargement OF the weekly Union.
The "weekIy Union' is issued every Satur-
lay; and arrangements in progress to enlarge
To double Us present size, shall soon be en-
bled to give nearly every article which may appear
n the daily and semi-weeky editions, at the ex
iremely low rate of 50. We propose also to give,
n this edition, a complete synoptca summary Of
he proceedings in both houses Of Congress--thus
endering the weekly Union" most valuable
;hanuel Of information to all classes OF our country.
But, to remunerate for this enterprise, extern
sye subscription list s absolutely Indispensable
Congressional Register.
In addition 10 the Foregoing, we have resolved to
publish during the sessions Of the national legisa-
Cure, Congressional Register" to be issued week.
Iy, and TO contain a FULL REPORT of the daily pro-
| ,eedings and debates of both houses. Indeed the
arrangements which we have made with the very
best corps of reporters will enable to give even
more full and extended reports than we have pro-
luced 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 experienced edi-
tor and will constitute a complete and authentic
record Of the session An appendix will be added,
uniform with the Register, and to be sent gratu-
ousIy to subscribers, comprising list of the acts
passed during the session, with synopsis of their
contents, and a reference, when necessary to pre-
sious legislation. This will form the most COM
pIee history of the sessions Of Congress- and will
be furnished at the low price Of sEvENTy-vIvE CENTS
for the next session. ,.,sr s.r ...4,... .. ..
