TO THE PEOPLE.


THE session Of Congress which has Jus, terminated,
will be long and gratefully remembered By all true
republicans for the triumphant success Of many Of
thelr cherished principles and measures. While we
hearuy rejoice at the triumph Of the principles which
Il was our constant effort 10 advocate and defend and
from which no prosperity no adversity can swerve Us
we cannot be unmindul Of the attitude in which we
are placed by q recent vote Of both houses Of Con-
gress we allude to the contemplated withdrawal of
Their patronage from the newspaper press. To this
decision we cheerfully bow sensible as we are Of the
patriotic motives which have led to it. But we trust
that this decision Of Congress increases rather than
omlnlshes our claim TO the support Of ahigher power
-tndt OF the people; and TO them confidently sp-

OF mercantile men to advertise in those papers which
are the most extensively circulated. Washington,

the two houses of Congress, it is believed ever before

have secured the services of the best reporters which
the country afforded but at the enormous cost of sl2
900 or $4,000 per year. Their extensive foreign
and domestic correspondence is another large item of
expense but the instructive usefulness Of which is so
highly commended and appreciated as to Justify al
most any outlay to attain it. STILL it must be evil

this list must be still considerably enlarged to enable
the propretors of the "Unon" to sustain all its use

Invoking then again, the aid and support Of all true
friends OF republican government, and pledging our
selves to renewed efforts in the cause Of the glorious

The "SEMI-WEEKLY UEIoE'' will be published ev-

numbers, instead of two will be issued without anv
extra charge to subscribers,
ENLARGEMENT OF THE WEEKLY UNION
