TO TIE PEOPLE.

Inc session OF Congress, which mas Just ter-
minated, will DO long and gratefully remembered by
all true republicans for the triumphant success Of
many of their cherished principles and measures.
While we heartily rejoice at the triumph of the Prin-
cples which it has been effort to advo-
cate and defend, and from which no prosperity, no
adversely, swerve US; we cannot be unmindfui
OF the attitude in which we are placed by recent
vote OF both houses Of Congress;--we alude to the
contemplated withdrawal Of their patronage from
the newspaper press. To this decision We cheer
fully bow sensible we are Of the patriotic motives
which have led it, But We trust that this decision OF
Congress increases rather than diminshes our
claim to the support Of higher power--that ofths
people; and to them confidently appeal to aid US,
by their patronage in sustaining at the seat Of gov
ernment journal that is inaexbly devoted to their
interests and the true interests Of the country.
is known to every one, that the chief source Of
sustaining 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, il becomes the oh
yious interest of mercantile men TO advertise in
those papers which the most extensively circu-
ated. Washington, however, is differently situ-
ated. Deprived Of the advertising patronage Incl
dent to a mercantile community, and burdened with
peculiar and enormous expenses wnrch are not
elsewhere incurred, nothing but very long hist Of
subscribing patrons can sustain paper in useful
ness--if, indeed, even in existence. The propne-
tors OF the "Union" have hitherto spared no pains,
and no expense, TO make their paper worthy Of the
@etropolis and worthy Of the support Of that great
party under whose banner they are enlisted In
publishing the most full and ample debates Of the
two houses Of Congress, il 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 1900 or $4,000 per year. Their extsn-
sive foreign and domestic correspondence is another
large item Of expense, but the instructive useful
ness Of which is 90 highly commended and appre-
eiated as to justify almost any outlay to attain it.
Still, it must be evident that these heavy expenses
cannot be borne, unless the subscription iat is COM
mensurate to the undertaking. and although we can
boast Of $4,000 subscribers, (ineuding daily, tn
weekly, and Seeky,) yet this list must be still
sderaby enlarged 10 enable the proprietors Of the
Union" TO sustain all its usefulness, and to insure
them against pecuniary loss. Invoking, then,
again, the aid and support Of all friends Of re:
publican government, and pledging ourselves to re-
oewed efforts in the of the glorious principles
we cherish, we offer the following proposals:
The "Daily Union" will be published, as here
tofore, at $40 per annum, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto has been almost exclusively polt
ical. We purpose in future to devote portion Of
its columns to domestic news of general interest,
and to miscellaneous literature, which, without inn
pairing its political influence, may render it the
acceptable to an extended class Of readers.
The "semi- weekly Uniono will be publish
ed every Monday and Thursday, during the recess
Of CoGgress, at IS per annum. This contains all
he matter .ortained in the "Daiiy UniOn," except
local advertisements. During the sessions of Con-
gross 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 Satur-
day; and as arrangements in progress to enlarge
1t to near double It's present size, shall soon be
abled to give nearly every article which may appear
in the daily and semi-weekly editions, at the ex ,
tremely low rate of 81. We propose also to give,
in this edition, complete synoptioal summary Of
the proceedings in both houses of Congress--thus
rendering the weekly Union" most valuable
channel Of information all classes of our country.
But, to remunemte for this enterprise, extern
sive subscription list is absolutely indispensable.
| Congressional Register.
In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to
publish during the sessions of the national egisla-
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 very
best corps of reporters will enable to give even
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
l''Union," carefully revised by experienced edi
tor, and will constitute a complete and authentic
record of the session. An appendix will be added,
uniform with the 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
plee history of the sessions of Congress, and will
be furnished at the low price of sEvENrY-FvE CENTS
for the next session.
