The session OF Congress, which has Just la,
minated, will be long and gratefully remembered,
all true republicans for the triumphant success. :,
many of their cherished principles and measure,
While we heartily rejoice at the triumph Of the rr0
cipes which II has been constant effort To sav.l

which have led TO il But we trust that this decision a.
Congress increases rather than diminishes ON,

The DAILY Union" will be published, as herr

character hitherto has been almost exclusively no,'

acceptable to an extended class Of readers.
The Semi-Weekly Union, will be publish.

of Co.-sr"ss, at IS per annum. This containa ali
the matter ,'rtaned in the "Daiiy Union" excep,
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 "Weekly Uniono is issued every Sat,r.
day; and as arrangements are in progress to enlnros
It TO near double Us present size shall soon be en-
abled to give nearly every article which may appear
IN the daily and semi-weeky editions, at the ex
tremely low rate of So We propose also to give
in this edition, complete synoptcal 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 remunerae us for this enterprise an extern
sive subscription list is absolutely Indispensable.
Congressional Register.
In auuiuon 10 the foregoing, we have resolved 10
publish, during the sessions Of the national egsla-
ture, Congressional 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 yery
best corps of reporters will enable us TO 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 the
"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 the Register, and to be sent gratu-
tously to subscribers, comprising list of the acts
passed during the session, with a synopsis Of their
contents, and reference, when necessary, to pre-
vous legislation. This will form the most COM
pete history of the sessions Of Congress and will
be furnished at the low price Of sEyENTY-yIyE CENTS
for the next session.
IL PosTMAsTERs are authorized tc act as our
agents; and by sending us five yearly 8, bscrbers,
with the subscription money for either the Daily,
Semi Weekly, or Weekly, will be entitled to one copy
Of the same edition as they furnish us subscribers
