10 THE PEOPLE.

THE session of Congress which has Just terminated,
VII 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 al the triumph Of the principles which
il was constant effort 70 advocate and defend and
from which no prosperity no sdyersty can swerve Us;
we cannot be unmindfu Of the attitude in which we
are placed by recent vote Of both houses Of Con-
eTess: we alude to the contemplated withdrawal Of
their patronage from the newspaper press. To this
decison eheerfully bow, sensible as We Of the
patriotic motives which Lave led t)it But we trust
that this decision Of Congress in reases rather than
dmnishes our claim TO the support Of higher power
thai Of the people; and to them we confidently ap-
peal 10 aid U.s. BY their patronage in sustaining at tho
seat Of government journal that inexiby devoted
70 their Interests and the true interests OF the country
tits known 70 every one, that the chief source Of
sustaining newspaper Is not the magnitude Of It's
subscription list 30 much as the advertising patron
age which may be bestowed upon il in large CONNER
cial Cities indeed the latter is usually the concomi-
tsnt Of the former as becomes the obvious interest
of mercantile men 70 advertise in those papers which
are the most extensively circulated. Washington,
however il differently situated. Deprived Of the ad
vertising patronage incident to amercantile commu-
nity and burdened with peculiar and enormous ex-
penses which not elsewhere incurred, nothing but
a very strong list Of subscribing patrons can sustain
paper in usefulness-f indeed, even in existence.

that great party under whose banner they enlist
ed In publishing the most full and ample debates Of
the two houses Of Congress, it is believed before
attempted on this continent in daily newspaper, they
have secured the services Of the bestreporters which
the country afforded but al the enormous cost of Sl2

and domestic correspondence is another large item Of

highly commended and appreciated as to justify al
most any outlay to attain it. Still, it must be evil
dent that these heavy expenses cannot be borne
less the subscription list is commensurate 70 the
dertaking; and although boast of $4,000 sub
scrbers ncluding daily, tri-weekly and weekly) yet
, this list must be still considerably enlarged to enable
the propnetors of the "Unon" 10 sustain all its use
fulness and to insure them against pecuniary loss
Invoking, them again, the aid and support Of all true
friends Of republican government, and pedgng our
selves 70 renewed efforts in the cause OF the glorious
principles cherishw we offer the following proposals
The "DAILY UNIoy'' will be published, as hereto
FORE at $40 per annum payable in advance. It's char
acter hitherto has been almost exclusively political.
We propose in future to devote portion Of its col
> umns to domestic Of general interest, and TO
: miscellaneous literature, which, without impairing
its political influence, may render it more acceptable
to an extended class of readers
The "SENI-WEEKLY UNION" will be published ev-
cry Monday and Thursday during the recess of Con-
gress, at 50 per annum. This contains all the mat
ter contained in the Daily Union" except local ad
vertsements. During the sessions of Congress three
q numbers instead of two will be issued without any
e extra charge to subscribers.
0, ENLARGEMENT OF THE WEEKLY UNION.
: The "WEEELY UyToy' is issued every Saturday;
9 and arrangements are in progress to enlarge TO
near double its present size, we shall soon be enabled
to give nearly every article which may appear in the
daily and semi-weekly editions, at the extreme low
rate Of g. We propose also 10 give, in this edition,
q complete synoptical summary OF the proceedings
in beth houses Of Congress--thus rendering the
"Weekly Union" q most valuable channel Of infor-
&c nation to all classes Of our country. But, to remu-
nerae Us for this enterprise, extensive subscrip-
Il ton list is indispensable.
CONGRESSIONAL REGIsTER!-In addition to the fore
n going we have resolved to publish during the ses-
sons of the national legislature, Congressional
Register, to be issued weekly, and to contain full
report of the daily proceedings and debates of both
houses Indeed, the arrangements which we have
made with the very best corps of reporters will ena-
Bile US to give even more full and extended reports
than we have produced during this session, superior
of claim them to be to any preceding ones. The
a. Register will be made up from the daily reports in
G, the "Unon, carefully revised by experienced ed
It. tor, and viii constitute complete and authentic re-
IS cord OF the session. An appendix will be added uni
It. form with the Register, and to be sent gratuitous
nd to subscribers comprising list Of the acts passed
during the session, with synopsis of their contents
and reference, when necessary, to previous egsla
ton. This will form the most complete history o.
the session of Congress- and will be furnished at the
low price of seventyve cents for the next session.

subscription money, for either the Daily, SemiWeek
M ly, or Weekly will be entitled to one copy Of tht
