isbed principles and measures. While we
heartily rejoice at the triumph of the prin-
cipes which il has been our constant ef>
fort to advocate and defend, and from
which no prosperity, no adversely, can
swerve us; we cannot be unmindful ofth
attidude in which we are placed by a re.
cent vote of both houses Of fCongress:-we
allude to the contemplated withdraw al of
their patronage from the newspaper press.
TO this decision we cheerfully low, sem
sible as we are of the patriotic motives
which have led to it. But we trust that
this decision of Congress increases rather
than diminishes our claim to the support
of higher power--that of the people; aud
to them we confidently appeal to aid US;
by their patronage, in sustaining at the
seat of government journal that is in
aexibly devoted 10 their interests of the
country.
| Uis known to every one, that the chief
. urce Of sustaining newspaper is not the
magnitude of its subscrbtion lists, SO much
as the advertising patronage which may
be bestowe ed upon it. In large CONNER
cial cities, indeed, the latter is usually
the concomitaut of the former, as it be>
comes the obvious interest of mercantile
men to advertise in those papers which are
the most extensively circulated. WASH
iugtou, however, is differently situated.
Deprived of the advertising patronage in
cident to a mercantile community, and
burdened with peculiar and enormous ex-
penses which are not elsewhere incurred,
nothing but a very long lists of fsubscrblng
patrons can sustain paper in usefulness
IF indeed ever in existence. The pro.
prietors Of the Union" have hitherto
spared no pains, and 10 expenses, 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, it is be.
heyed, ever before attemp ed on this con-
tinent in a daily newspaper, they have
secured the services of the best reporters
which the country afforded, but at the
enemies cost of $4,000 or SIS 900 per
wear. Their extensive foreign and do-
mestic correspondence is another large
item Of expense, but the instructive use.
fulness of which is so highly commended
and appreciated as to justify almost any
outlay to attain it. Still, it must be evil
dent that these heavy expenses cannot be
borne, unless the subscribtion list is com-
, mensurate to the undertaking; and al
though we Can boast OF l5 600 subs scrbers,
tincluding daily, weekly, and weekly,)
vet this list must be still considerably en-
, larged to enable the propretors of the
"Unun" to sustain all its usefulness, and
to insure them against pecuniary loss. In
: voking, then, again, the aid and support
of all true friends Of republican govern
, ment, and pIedging ourselves to renewed
} Efforts in the cause of the glorious princi-
pies we cherish, we offer the following
promise.
} The "DAILY UNION" will be publish.
, ed F., as heretofore, at SO per anum, paya-
BILE in advance. Its character hitherto
! has been almost exclusively political. We
8 purpose in future to devhte a portion of
is columns to domestic news of general
interest, and to miscellaneous literature,
which, without impalring its political in
fuence may render 1t the more acCepta-
BILE to an extended class of readers.
The .SEMI-W UNION" will be
published every Monday and Thursday,
during the recess Of Congress, at s. per
annnm. This contains all the matter con.
tanned in the "Daily Union" except local

Congress three numbers, instead OF two,
Will be issued, without any extra charge

T, Enlarg ement of the Weekly Union.
The "WEEKLY UNION" is issued
c every Saturday; aud as arrangements are

present SIZE, we shall sopn he enabled to

IN the daily aud semi, weekly editions, at
the extremely low rate of s.. We pros
Sc also to give, IN this edition, a COM

CONGRESSIONA REGISTER.
! To addition to the foregoing, we have
10 resolve to publish, during the session OF
the national legislature, Congressional
Register TO be issued weekly, and to
contain FULL REPORT of the daily pro-
ceedings and debates of both houses. In
deed, the arrangements which we have
made ith the very best corps ofreporters
will enable us to give even more full and
l extended reports than we have produced
g during this session, superior as we claim
J. them to be to any proceeding ones. The
Register will be made up from the daily
III reports in the ''Union,' carefully revised
g by an experienced editor, and will con-
10 stitute a complete and authe0tic record
s. of the session. Appendix will be added
s. uniform With the Register, aud to be sent
i gratuitously TO subscribers, comprising a
list of the acts passed during the session
II with synopsis of their contents, and a

. legislation. This will form the most CON-
plete history of the sessions of Congress
