TO THE PEOPLE.

The session OF Congress, which has just tel
minated, will be long and gratefully remembered by
all true republic1ns for the triumphant success Of
many Of their cherished principles and measures.
While we heartily rejoice at the triumph ofthe Prin-
cipes which il has been constant effort to adyo
cate and defend, and from which no prosperity, no
adversely, can swerve US; we cannot be unmindfai
Of the attitude in which we are placed by recent
vote OF both houses of Congress--we alluds to the
contemplated withdrawal Of their patronage from
the newspaper press. To this decision we cheer
fully bow, sensible are Of the patriotic motives
which have led to it. But trust that this decision OF
Congress increases rather than diminishes our
claim to the support Of higher power--that of ths
people; and to them confidently appeal to aid US,
by their patronage, in sustaining the seat Of gov
eminent journal that is innexibly devoted to their
interests and the true interests of the country.
IL is known TO every one, that the chief source Of
austainings newspaper is not the magnitude Of its
subscription list, so much the advertising patron
age which may be bestowed upon IT, In large
commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usually the
concomitant Of the former, as il becomes the OBJ
yious interest Of mercantile men TO advertise in
hose papers which are the most extensively circu-
ated. Washington, however, is differently .itu-
aied. Deprived Of the advertising patronage Incl
dent 10 a 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
M vnff ~
party under whose banner they arc enlisted In
publishing the most full and ample debates Of the
two houses Of Congress, it 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 e1tsn-
ave foreign and domestic correspondence is another
large item Of expense, but tho instructive useful
ness Of which is 80 highly commended and appre-
ciated a. To justify Almsst any outlay to attain IT,
Sull, IL must be evident that these heavy expenses
cannot be borne, unless the subscription list is COM
msnsuraie to the undertaking; and although we can
boast of $4,000 subscribers, (includng daily, ui-
weekly, and ~eekly,) yet this list must be still con-
'iderably enlarged to enable the proprietos Of the
"Unon" TO sustain all It's usefulness, and TO insure
them against pecuniary loss. Invoking, then,
Yain, the aid and support Of all true friends Of 70
publican gosemment and pledging ourselves to re-
newed efforts in the cause Of the glorious principles
We cherish, we offer the following proposals:
The "Daily Union" viii be published, as here
tofore, at go per annum, payable in advance Its
character hitherto has been almost exclusively po-
ical. We purpose in future to devote a 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 tho more
acceptable to an extended class of readers.
The "semi- Weekly Uniono will be publish
ed very Monday and Thursday, during the recess
Of Corsress, at IS per annum. This contains all
he matter .ontained in the I" Daily Unien," except
local advertisements. During the sessions of Con-
gress three numbers, instead of two, will be issued,
without any extra charge to subscribers.
Enlargement OF the Weekly Union.
The "Weckly Uni0no is issued every Satur-
day; and as arrangements in progress to enlarge
to near double " present sss, shall soon be en-
abled to give nearly every article which may appear
in tho daily and semi-weekIy 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" a most valuable
channel Of information to all classes of our country.
But, to remunerate for this enterprise, ar sxte-
sivs subscription list ID absolutely Indispensable
Congressional Register.
In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to
publish during the sessions of the national legsla
ture "Corsresionai Register" to be issued week.
ly, and to contain FULL REPORT of the daily pro-
ceedings and debates of both houses. Indeed, the
arrangements which we have made with the very
best corps Of reporters viii enable 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 tho
"Union," carefully revised by an experienced edi-
tor, and will constitute complete and authentic
record Of the session. An appendix will be added,
uniform with tho Register, and to be sent gratui-
tously to subscribers, comprising list of the acts
passed during the session, with synopsis of their
contents, and reference, when necessary, to pre-
vious legislation. This will form the most COM
pee history of the sessions of Congress, and will
be furnished at the low price of sEvEsrrvrE CENTS
for the next session. 5egg
