In large commercial cities, indeed. the ster is usually The eOae0mifanl of the former. as lt becomes ihe oe- yious interest of mercantile men to advertiee ln those papers which are the most extensively eiTeu- lated Washington. however, Is differently s.ti.- ted Deprived of the advertising patronage tnci- dent to mercantile community, and buFdened wish pecuiixF and enormous expenses whieh are no. elsewhere incurred. nothing but very Iens list cf subscribing patrons can sa.tsla paRet .n use..'- ness-A-iL indeed even in existence. The proPfte- ogs of the slTni0nr have hitherto spared 10 pains, and no expense to make their paper worthy ofthe metropolis and worthy of the support oi that great party under whose banner they are eniisfed In publishing the most full and ample debates ot the two houses Of Congress, it is believed. eves before attempted on this continent in daily hewsPspess they have secured the services of the best repQfts which the country afforded, but at the enoffnoas cost of ,000 or l5,o0O per year. TbeH exten- sive foreign asd domestic correspondence is another large item ofexpense, but the instructive usefulness
 .lsA mfAsf as to justify almost any outlay to attain it, Still, fl must se evident that these heavy expenses cannot be borne unless the subscription list is commensr rate tD the undertaking; and although we cen boast of l50oe subscribers. {includiug daily, tr,- weekly and weekly) yet this list must be still con slcrably enlarged io enable the proprietors of the .lnion to sustain alt its usefulness, and to insure them against peeuniary loss. Invoking. then, again. the aid and support of all true friends of publican government, and pledging ourselves to re- newed efforts in the of the glorious principles we cherish, we offer the following proposals:
 THE "DAtLY UNION"
 Will be published, as heretofore, at $i0 per an- mum, payable in advance. It's character hitherto has been almost exclusively political. We purpose in future 10 devote portion of it's columns to do- nestle news of general interest and to nscellane- literature which, without imparHg its political influence .nay render it the more acceptable 10 an extended class ofreaders.
 THE "SEMi-WEEKLYu uNloNn
 will be published every Monday and Thursday. during The recess of Congress. ali S5 per annutn. This contains all the matter contained in the s.Daiiy Uaioa,' except local advertisements. Du- ring the sessions of Congress three numbers instead of two will be issued, without any extra charge to subscribers.
 Enlsrg~Y~af ef the Weekly Union.
 THE WEEKLY UNION"
 Is issued every Saturday; and as arrangements are in progress to enlarge 1t to near double iis present sise, shall be enabled to give nearly every article which may appear in the daily and semi-weekly ediiisis at the extremely low rate Of g. We propose Also to give. in this edition. a complete syuopticai summary Of the proceedings in both houses of Congress thus rendering the sweek- y Union" most valuable channel of information to all classes of county But, to remunerate us for this enterprise, extensive subscription list is absolutely indispensable.
 We seize this opportunity to add that some delay has taken place in putting paper to press, which has prevented its early delivery to our readers. and consequently cirenmscribed its circulation. Ne shall make arrangements to remedy this defect and to obviate this objection. Afler the present week we trust that no complaint will be made upon this subject.
 In addition to tue Foregoing. we have resolved to publish, during the sessions of the national legsia tnre Congressional Register 10 be issued week iy. and to contain ruLBREPoRT of the daily pro- eeedings and debates of both houses. Indeed. the arrangements which we have made with the very best corps of reporters wi enable us io 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 ei- tor, and will constitute a complete and authentic record of the sess.on. An appendix will be added, uniform with the Register and to be sent gratuit- oasly to subscribers, comprising list of the acts passed during the session, with synopsis of their contents and a reference, when necessary, to pre- vious legislation. This will form the most com plete history of the sessions of Congress, and will be furnished al the low price of sEyESrr-rivE CENTS for the next session.
 Oj- PnsTaAsrEas are authorized to act as our agents: and by sending five yearly subscribers, with the subscription money. for either the Daiiy Semi- WeekIy or Weekly will be entitled oone copy Of the same edition as they furnish us subscribers for.
 1f The EoxGREssioxAL REGISTER will be fur nished them 0a fkf same Terms.
 O. NEWSPAPERS publishing our prospectus, with the notes attached, until the lst of December next, will be entitled, during the next session of Congress. to receive a copy of the Congressional Rsgisiey and 7ri- Weesiy Union.
