To THE PEOPLE.

/
The 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 rrn-
cples which it has been our constant effort to advo-
cate and defend, and from which no prosperity, no
Adversely, can swerve us; We cannot be unmindfu
OF the attitude in which we are placed by recent
vote OF both houses of Congress:--we aude TO the
contemplated withdrawal Of their patronage from
the newspaper press. To this decision we cheer
fully bow, sensible we are of the patriotic motives
which have led to it But trust that this decision OF
Congress increases rather than diminshes our
claim to the support Of higher power-that of the
people, and to them We confidently appeal to aid us,
by their patronage in sustaining at the seat of gov.
eminent journal that is indexiby 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 its
subscription list 30 much the advertising patron
age which may be bestowed upon il. In large
commercial cities, indeed the latter is usually the
coneomitant of the former, as il becomes the OBJ
vious interest of mercantile men to advertise in
ated' Washington, however, is differently stu
ated Deprived Of the advertising patronage incl
dent to a mercantile community, and burdened with
peculiar and enormous expenses which arc not
elsewhere incurred, nothing but very long list Of
subscribing patrons can sustain 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
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,
'hsy 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 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-
ciated as TO justify almost any outlay to attain it,
suh' IL must be evident that these heavy expenses
cannot % oorne' unless the subscription list is COM
'nenaurae 70 the undertaking. and although we can
BOAST OF laooo subscribers, (including daily, tn
weekly and ~eekly) yet this list must be still con-
'derably enlarged to enable the proprietors of the
Union" to sustain all it's usefulness, and to insure
hem against pecaniary loss. Invoking, then,
again, the aid and support Of all true friends Of 70,
publican government, and pledging ourselves to re-
newed efforts in the cause Of the glorious principles
we cherish, we offer the following proposals:
