TO THE PEOPLE.


'1NHE session of Congress, which has lust ,ermi
Il mated, will be long and gratefully remembered
by all true republicans for the triunpbant success
of many of their cherished principles and mea
surcs. While VIC heartily rejoice at the t,iunnh
OF The principles which it has been osr constant e.
Tort to advocate AMI defend, and from which n,
prosperity, no adversely, can sweTvc us; can.
not be uumiudful of the attitude in which We are
placed by recent vote of both houses of Congress
we aiude to the contemplated withdrawal of
tneir patronage from thc newspaper Press. To
TINS decision we chceruly bow, sensible as VIC arc
OF the patriotic motives which have led to it, But
we trust that this decision of Congress increases
rather than diminshcs our claim to the support OF
higher power--that of the people and to whom
we confidently appeal to aid as, by ueu pat "onagc,
IN sustaining at the seat of government journal
that is inicxibly devoted to their interests and
the true interests of the country.
1t Is known to every one, that the chief source
OF sustaining newspaper is not the ma snitude of
its subscription list, SO much the advcrtisins,
patronage which may be bestowed upon il. In
large commercial cites indeed, the latter il usual

pr:etors of the " Union" have hitherto SHARED no

o' tue metropolis, and worthy of the support of
that great party under whose banner thew are en-
iistei. In publishing the most full and annie do

newspaper, they have secured the services of the

dcnce Is another large item of pense bu, the in
sUucnve usefulness of which is so highly COM
mcnded and appreciated as To Justify almost any
outlay to attain it. Still, it must be evident that
MS ncaVy expenses cannot be borne, unless the
