TO THE PEOPLE.

Inc session OF Congress, which has Just ter
minated, will be 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 IL has besn our constant effort TO advo-
cate and defend, and from which no prosperity, no
adversely, can swsrve US; we cannot be unmindful
OF the attitude in which we are placed by recent
vote Of both houses Of Congres.:-we allude TO tho
contemplated withdrawal Of their patronage from
the newspaper press. To this decision we cheer
tully bow, sensible as of the patriotic motives
which have led TO it. But trust that this decision OF
Congress increases rather than dminishes our
claim to the support Of higher power--that of the
people, and to them we confidently appeal to aid US,
by thsr patronage, in sustaining at the seat of gov
eminent journal that s inhexbly devoted to their
interests and the true interests Of the country.
IL is known TO every one, that the chief source OF
sustaining Newspaper is not the magnitude of ita
subscription list, 30 much the advertising patron
age which may be bestowed upon il. In large
commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usually the
eoneomitant Of the fsrmer, as il becomes the OBJ
vious interest Of mercantile men to advertise in
those papers which are tho most extensively circu-
ated. Washington, however, is differently situ-
ated. Deprived Of the advertising patronage Incl
dent 10 a mercantile community, and burdened with
peculiar and enormous expenses which are not
elsewhere incurred, nothing but very long list Of
subscribing patrons can sustain paper in useful
ness--f, indeed, even in existence. The proprie-
tors OF the "Union" have hitherto spared no pains,
and no expense, TO make their paper worthy Of the
metropolis, 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 a daily newspaper.
hey have secured the services of the best reporters
which the country afforded, but at the enormous
cost Of $4,000 or $4,000 per year. Their exten-
sye foreign and domestic correspondence is another
large item Of expense, but the instructive useful
ness Of which is 90 highly commended and appre-
eistsd a. To justfy almost any outlay 70 attain IT,
sul, IL must DO evident that these heavy expenses
cannot be borne, unless the subscription list is com
uensursie TO the undertaking; and although we can
boast Of $1,000 subscribers, Qncluding daily, tr-
weekly, and ~eekly9 yet this list must be still con-
s'derably enlarged to enable the propneiors of the
"Union" 10 sustain all its usefulness and TO insure
again, the aid and support Of all true friends of re-
publican government, and pedging ourselves to re-
newed efforts in the Of the glorious principles
we cherish, we offer the following proposals;
The "Daily Union" will be published, as here
iofore, at $40 per annum, payable in advance Its
character hitherto has been almost exclusively po.
eal We purpose in future to devote portion of
its columns to domestic news Of general interest,
and to miscellaneous literature, which, without i'm
pairing is political inhasnce, may render it the more
acceptable to an extended class of readers.
The sssemi- Weekly Union, will be publish
ed every Monday and Thursday, during the recess
Of Co.srss, at IS per annum. This contains all
he matter .ortained in the "Daiiy Union," except
local advertisements. During the sessions of Con.
grcss three numbers, instead Of two will be issued,
without any extra charge to subscribers.
Enlargement Of the weekly Union.
The "weekly Union" il issued every satur-
day and az arrangements are in progress to enlarge
It to near double u present sss, shall soon be en-
abled to give nearly every article which may appear
| IN the daily and sem-weckly editions, at the ex
tremely low rate Of r. We propose also to give,
| In this edition, a complete synoptcal summary of
the proceedings in both houses of Congress--thus
rendering the "Weekly Union" most valuable
channel OF information to all classes of country.
But, to rsmuneats US for this enterprise an extern
sive subscription list 10 absolutely Indispensable.

In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to
publish during the sessions Of the national egisla

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 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 ed-
tor, and will constitute a complete and authentic
record Of the session. An appendix viii be added,
uniform with tho Register, and to be sent gratui-
'ously 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
pcie history Of the sessions of Congress, and will
be furnished at the low price of sEvEsrr-TrE CENTS
for the next session.
