TO THE PEOPLE.

'1NHE session Of Congress, which has Just tcrmi-
Il mated, viii be long and gratefully remembered
by all true republicans for the triumphant success
OF many OF their cherished principles aud mca-
sutcs. While we heartily rejoice at the t,iunph
OF the principles which IL has been our constant e.
fort to advocate and defend, and from which no
prosperity, no adversely, can swerve US; VIC can.
not be untnindful of the attitude in which VIC are
placed ny a recent vote of both houses of Congress:
we atiude to the temple withdrawal of
their patronage from tho newspaper rrcss. To
this decision we cheerfully bow, sensible "a VIC arc
of the patriotic motives which have led to it. But
we 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 Me, patronage,

that is inhcxibly devoted to their intercs,s and
the true interests of the country.
1t Is known to every one, that the chief source
OF SUSTAINING a newspaper is not the magnitude of
its subscription list, so much as the advertising
patronage which may be bestowed upon it. In
large commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usual

the obvious interest OF mercantile men to advertise

CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
In ADDITION TO the foregoing, We have resolved 10
publish, during the sessions of the national Ic0is-
laturc, a " Congressional Register" to be issued
weekly, and to contain a FULL REPORT of the daily
proceedings and debates of both houses. Indeed.
the arrangements which VIC 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 TINS session, superior as VIC claim
them TO be TO any preceding oncs. The Rcpister
will be made up from the daily reports in the
" Union" carefully revised by a cxnericnccd eGi-
tor, and will constitute a complete and authentic
record OF tho session. An appendix will be added
uniform with tue Register, and to he sent pratui-
touS!y 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

be furnished at the low price ofsEvENrY-FIyE cgSTs
