TO THE PEOPLE.

Inc session OF Congress, which has lust ter
minated, will be long and gratefully remembered by
All true Iepabllcans for the triumphant success OF
many of their cherished principles and measures.
While We heartily rejoice at the triumph ofthe prin-
clpies which il has been constant effort TO advo-
cate and defend, and from which no prosperity, no
adversely, can swerve us; we cannot be unmindfol
OF the attitude in which we are placed by recent
vote Of both houses Of Congress--wo allude to tho
contemplated withdrawal of their patronage from
the newspaper press. To this decision we cheer
uliy bow sensible as are Of the patriotic motives
which have led to il But we trust thar this decision OF
Congress increases rather than diminishes our
caIm,to the support Of higher power---that of ihs
people; and to them we confidently appeal 10 aid us

ernment journal that is naexibly devoted TO their

itis known to every one, that the chief source Of
sustaining newspaper Is not the magnitude Of lis
subscription list, SO much as the advertising patron
age which may be bestowed upon it. la large
commercial cities, indeed the latter is usually the
concomiiant Of the former, as il becomes the OBJ

those papers which the most sxtensively circu-

ated. Deprived Of the advertising patronage Incl
dent to mercantile community, and burdened with
peculiar and enormous expenses winch are not
elsewhere incurred nothing but very long list Of
subscribing patrons can sustain paper in useful
ness-h, indeed, even in existence. The proprie-
tors of the "Union" have hitherto spared no pains
and no expense, to make their paper wor,hy Of the
metropolis and worthy Of the suppor, OF that great
| party onder whose banner they are enlisaed. In
publishing the most full and ample debates Of the
two houses Of Congress, II is believed ever before
attempted on this continent in daily newspaper,
they have secured the services OF the best reporter.

cost Of $4,000 or $4,000 per year Their exten-

eiated as to justify almost any outlay TO attain H.
Sun, II must be evident that these heavy expenses
cannot be borne unless the subscription lie, is com
mensurate TO the undertaking; and although we can
boast Of $4,000 subscribers, (includng daily, tri-
weekly, and weekly,) yet this list must be slil con-
sdefaby enlarged TO enable tho proprietors of the
"Unon" TO sustain all its usefulness and TO insure
them against pecuniory loss. Invoking, then,
again, the aid and support Of all true irieods Of re
publican go fernment, and pledging ourselves to re
newed efforts in the cause Of the glorious principles
we cherish, we offer the following proposals,

Its columns to domestic news Of general interest,
and to miscellaneous literature which, without i'm

arrangements which we have made with the very
best corps of reporters will enable 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 edi-

record of the session. An appendix will be added,

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
