To THE PEOPLE.

HE session OF Congress which has Just terminated,
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 principles which
il was our constant effort to advocate and defend and
from which no prosperity adversity, can swerve US
we cannot be unmindlul Of the attitude in which we
are placed BY recent vote Of both houses Of Con-
gress: we alude to the contemplated Withdrawal Of
their patronage from the newspaper press. To this
decision we cheerlly bow, sensible we are Of the
patriotic motives which have led toit But we trust
that this decision Of Congress increases rather than
diminishes our claim to the support Of ahgher power
that Of the people; and to them we confidently Gp-
peal to aid u.s. by their patronage in sustaining at the
seat of government journal that's infexibly devoted
to their interests and the true interests Of the country

subscription list so much as the advertising patron

of mercantile men to advertise in those papers which
are the most extensively circulated. Washington,
however, is differently situated Deprived of the ad-

highly commended and appreciated as to justify al
most any outlay to attain it. Still, it must be evil
dent that these heavy expenses cannot be borne,
less the subscription list is commensurate to the
deraking; and although we can boast Of $4,000 SUBJ
sCribers (ncuding daily, tri-weekly, and weeky) yet
this list must be still considerably enlarged to enable
the proprieors of the "Unon" to sustain all its use
funess and to insure them against pecuniary loss
Invoking, then, again, the aid and support Of all true
friends Of republican government, and pledging our
selves to renewed efforts in the cause of the glorious
principles we cherish,we offer the following proposals
The "DAILY UNION" will be published, as hereto
fore at $40 per annum payable in advance Its char
acter hitherto has been almost exclusively political.
We propose in future to devote portion of its col
umns to domestic news Of general interest, and to
miscellaneous literature, which, without mpairing
its political influence, may render it more acceptable
to an extended class of readers.
The "SEMI- WEEKLY UNION" will be published ev-
cry Monday and Thursday, during the recess Of Con-
gress at SO per annum. This contains all the mat
ter contained in the "Daily Unon," except local ad-
vertsements. During the sessions Of Congress 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 Saturday;
and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge it to
double its present size we shall soon be enabled
to give nearly every article which may appear in the
daily and semi-weekly editions, at the extreme low
rate OF 80. We propose also to give in this edition.
complete synopticul summary of the proceedings
in both houses of Congress-thus rendering the
"Weekly Union" most valuable channel of infor-
nation to all classes of our country. But to remu-
nerate us for this enterprise, an extensive subscrp
ton list is indispensable.
CONGRESSIONAL REeIsTER!--ln addition to the fore
going, we have resolved to publish, during the ses-
sions Of the national legislature, Congressional
Register" to be issued weekly, and to contain full
report Of the daily proceedings and debates of both
houses. Indeed the arrangements which we have
made with the very best corps Of reporters will
BILE 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 an experienced ed-
itor and will constitute complete and authentic
cord of the session. An nuppendix will be added uni.
