TO THE PEOPLE.

minated, viii be long and gratefully remember,dL. 4
all true republicans for the triumphant success, a.
many of their cherished principles and measu,..
While we heartily rejoice at the triumph Of the nj,
ciples which il has been our constant effort To sd,o
cate and defend, and from which no prosperity :.
adversely, can swerve US; We cannot be unminds
Of the attitude in which we are placed by a rec.r
vote of both houses Of Congress:--we allude to n.
contemplated withdrawal Of their patronage f,o,
the newspaper press. To this decision we chez,
fully bow, sensible as we Of the patriotic mody.
which have led TO IT, But trust that this deciso, ~
Congress increases rather than diminishes IN,
claim to the support of higher power-tha, Off,
people, and to them confidently appeal to aid u,
by their patronage, in sustaining at the seat Of so,
eminent journal that is infexiby devoted to tb.i,
interests and the true interests Of the country
IL is known 10 every one, that the chief sour,. n
sustaining newspaper is not the magnitude Of ia
subscription list, much the advertising patron
age which may be bestowed upon it, In hr,.
commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usually tS
concomitant Of the former, il becomes the oh
yious interest Of mercantile men TO sdysus, i
those papers which are the most extensively CHM
ated. Washington, however, is differently sin,
atsd. Deprived Of the advertising patronage inc,
dent to a mercantile community, and burdened viii
peculiar and enormous expenses winch ar, MOI
elsewhere incurred, nothing but very long ia, Of
subscribing patrons can sustain paper in usetl
ness-if, indeed, even in existence. The prom,
| tors Of tie "Union" have hitherto spared no main,
and no expense, to make their paper worthy Of Ii,
metropolis, and worthy Of the support of that gr,.
party under whose banner they are enlisted. n
publishing the most full and ample debates Of Ii,
two houses Of Congress, il is believed, ever belo
attempted on this continent in a daily newspaO,,
they have secured the services Of the best repors,
which the country afforded, but at the enormou,
cost of $4,000 or $4,000 per year. Their exltD.
siye foreign and domestic correspondence is ano,b,,
large item Of expense, but the instructive usehl
ness of which is so highly commended and appr,.
ciated as to justify almost any outlay to attain
sull, it must be evident that these heavy expen.,,
cannot be borne, unless the subscription list is CON-
mensurate to the undertaking; and although we Can
boast Of $1,000 subscribers, (including daily, N.
weekly, and weekly,) yet this list must he sdl co.,
,iderably enlarged to enable the propietorI Of III,
Union" to sustain all its usefulness, and to insu,
them against Pecuniary loss. Invoking, then
again, the aid and support of all true friends Of y,
publican go sernment, and pledging ourselves to ,,
newed efforts in the cause Of the glorious princip.
we cherish, VIC offer the following proposals.:
The DAILY Uniono will be published, as here
totore, at $40 per annum, payable in advance. Id
character hitherto has been almost exclusively pot
q nan aF,f !
It's columns TO domestic news Of general interest
and to miscellaneous literature, which, without i'm
pairing It's political influence, may render it the more
acceptable to an extended class OF readers
The "Semi- Weekly Unionn will be publish.
ed every Monday and Thursday, during the reces,
OF Co.sress, at SIS per annum. This contains ali
the matter .1"tained in the DAILY Union," 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 "Weekly Union' is issued every Satur
day. and as arrangements are in progress to ennrs,
1t TO near double lis present sizs shall soon be en-.
abled to give nearly every article which may appear
in the daily and semi-weekly editions, at the er
tremely low rate Of 50. We propose also to give
in this edition, a complete synoptical summary Of
the proceedings in both houses of Congress--ihus
rendering the weekly Union" most valuable
channel of information TO all classes Of our country
But 10 remunerate for this enterprise, an extel
sive subscription list is absolutely indispensable.
Congressional Register.
In addition To the foregoag, we have resolved to
publish, during the sessions OF the national legisla
ture, Congressional Register" to be issued week
ly, and to contain "a FULL REPORT of the daily pro
| ceedngs and debates Of both houses. Indeed, tn,
| arrangements which we have made with the yer,
best corps Of reporters will enable US to give ever
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 Regse
| will be made up from the daily reports in th
Union" carefully revised by an experienced edi
tor, and will constitute complete ard authenti
record OF the session. An appendix will be added
| uniform with the Register, and TO be sent gratui
tousy to subscribers, comprising list of the act
passed during the session, with synopsis of the
contents, and a reference, when necessary, to pr
yIous legislation. This will form the most CON
plete history Of the sessions of Congress, and vii
be furnished at the low price of sEvENTY-vIvE CENT
| for the next session.
IF PosTMAsrERs are authorized &c act as GU
agents; and by sending us five yearly s, bscribers
with the subscription money, for either the Daily
Semi Weekly, or Ueekiy will be entitled to one cop,
of the same edition as they furnish us subscriber
