STEAMBOAT ADVERTISEMENTS.
TO THE

o1
'yNHE session of Congress, which has lust termi-
Il mated, will be long and gratefully remembered
by all true republicans for the triumuhant success
OF many of their cherished principles and mca-
surcs. While VIC heartily rejoice at the Triumph
of the principles which il has been our constant cf-
tort to advocate and defend, and from which no
prosperity, no adversitv, can swerve us we can
not be unmindful of the attitude in which VIC are
placed by a recent vote of both houses of Congress
we alinde to the contemplated Withdrawal Of
their patronage from the newspaper press. To
this decision we chcerfnlly bow, sensible as we are
oil the patriotic motives which have led to it. But
we trust that this decision of Congress incrcas,s
rather than diminislics 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 inticxibly devoted t. their interests and
the true interests of the country.
IL is known to every one, that the chief sourcc
oil sustaining n newspaper is not the magnitude of
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 concomitsnt OF the former, as il becomes
me obvious interest OF mercantile men to advertise
IN those papers which are the most extensively cir
culatcd. Washington, however, is differently situ-
atcd. Deprived of the advertisinp patronooc Incl
dent to mercantile community, and burdened
win ,pccuiar and enormous expenses which are
not eis'where incurred, nothing but n very long
list OF subscribing patrons can sustain a paper in
useiuiness-if, indeed, even IN existence. The pro-
pr.etors OF the Z" Union have hitherto spared no
pains, ana no expense, to make their paper worthy
ot the metropolis, and worthy OF the support of
that great party under whose banner they are en-
llstei. IN publlshlng the most full and ample de-

hcoS' valuable channel of information to all classes
OF our country. But, to remuncraie US for this en-
.erlrlse, an extensive subscription list is absolutely

RESSIONAL REGISTER.
In addition to the foregoing, We have resolved to
Dublsh. during the sessions of tho national Ipois-
iature, a " Congressional Register" to be issued
weekly, and to contain a FULL REPORT of the daily
proceedings and debates OF both houses. Indeed,
the arraneernents 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
produced 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 n experienced cdi-
tor, and will constitute n complete and authentic
record OF the session. An appendix will be added,
uniform with the Register, and to be sent gratui-
tously to subscribers. comprising a lists of the acts
passed during the session, with a synopsis of their
contents, and a reference, when necessary, to pre-
vious legislation. This will form the most com
plctc history of the sessions of Congress, and will
be furnished at the low price ofsEvENrY-FIvg CENTS
