TO THE PEOPLE.

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-
ciples which il has been our constant effort to adyo-
cate and defend. and from which no prosperity, no
adversely, can swerye us; we cannot be unmindful
of the attitude in which we are placed by recent
vote Of both houses Of Congress-we allude to the
contemplated withdrawal of their patronage from
the newspaper press To this decision we cheer
fully bow sensible as VIC are of the patriotic motives
which have led to it, But we trust that this deeon of
Congress increases rather than diminisbes our
claim to the support Of higher power-that oflAs
people; and to them we confidently appeal to aid us,
by their patronage in sustaining at the seat of gov
eminent journal that is iBaexibly devoted 10 their
interests and the true interests of the country.
Il is known to every one, that the chief source of
sustaining a newspaper Is not the ma0nitude Of its
subscription list, so much as the advertising pstron-
age which may be bestowed upon il. In large
commercial cities, indeed the latte, il uspsIv The
eoncomitant of the former, as il becomes the Obj
vous interest of mercantile men to advertise in
those papers which are the most extensively crcu-
ated. Washington, however, is differently attn.
ated. Deprived Of the advertising patronage incl
dent to mercantile community, and burdened with
peculiar and enormous expenses which are not
elsewhere incurred, nothing but a very long list of
subscribing patrons can sustain a paper in useful
ness--if, 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
H.
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,
they have secured the services Of the best reporters
which the country afforded, but at the enormous
cost of sl2,0 900 or $4,000 per year. Their extern
sve foreign and domestic correspondence is another
large item Of expense, but the instructive useful
ness Of which is 30 highly commended and appre-
ciaed TO justify almost any outlay to attain il.
Still, il must be evident that these heavy expenses
cannot be borne, unless the subscription list is COM
mensurate to the undertaking, and although we can
boast of $4,000 subscribers (including daily, tn
weekly, and weekly, yet this list must be still con-
siderably enlarged to enable the proprieors of the
"Union" to sustain all its usefulness, and to insure
them against pecuniary loss. Invoking then
again, the aid and support of all true friend, or 70.
