STEAMBOAT ADVERTISEMENTS.
TO THE PEOPLE.

TIME session of Congress, which has lust ,ermi.
4 mated, will be long and gratefully remembered
by all true republicans for the triurnohant success
oil many of their cherished principles and mca-
sutes. While we heartily rejoice at the triumph
OF the principles which it has been our constant eff.
fort to advocate and defend, aud from which M
prosperity, no adversitv, can swerve us; we can.
not be uninindful of the attitude in which VIC are
placed by a recent vote of both houses of Congress
we alludc to the contemplated withd wal of
their patronage from the newspaper rress. To
this decision we choerfulIy bow, sensible as we arc
of the patriotic motives which have led to it. But
VIC trust that this decision of Congress increases
rather than diminishes our claim TO the support OF
a higher powcr-that of the people and to whom
we confidently appeal to aid us, by their patronage,
in sustaining at the seat of government a Journal
that Is inheSibly devoted to their interests and
the true interests of the country.
IL Is known To every one, that the chief source
OF sustaining a newspaper is not the magnitude If
its subscription list. so much as the advertising
patronage which may be bestowed upon il. In
large commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usual
~ the concomitaut of the former, as il becomes
me obvious interest OF mercantile mcn to advertise
ntnose papers which are the most extensively cir
cuiated. Washington, however, is differently stu.
G'ed. DEPRIVED OF the advertising patronage Incl
ucnt mercantile community, and burdened
with peculiar and cnormous expenses which are
not elsewhere incurred, nothing hut a very long
list OF subscribing patrons can sustain a paper in

pr:etors of the 90 Union" have hitherto spared no
pains, and no expense, To make their paper worthy
ot the metropolis, and worthy Of the support of
that great party under whose banner they arc en-
listed. In publishing the most full aud ample dc.
