heartily rejoice at the triumph Of the prin-

fort to advocate and defend, and from
which no prosperity, no adversely, can
swerve us; we cannot be unmindful Of the
attitude in which we are placed by a re.

allude to the contemplated withdrawal Of
their patronage from the newspaper press.

sible as we are Of the patriotic motives
which have led to il. But We trust that
this decision Of Congress increases rather
than diminishes 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

the concomitant 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
ington, however, is differently situated.
Deprived Of the advertising patronage in-
cident to a mercantile community, and
burdene with peculiar and enormous ex-
pepses which are not elsewhere incurred,
nothing but very long lists sofsubscriblng

Of the two houses of Congress, it is beI

secured the services of he best reporters
whlch the country afforded hut at the
enemies cost of $4,000 or SIS 900 per
year. Their extensive foreign aud do

item Of expense, but the instructive use,

and appreciated as to justify almost any
outlay to attain it. Still, il must be evil

resolve to publish, during the session of
the national legislature, Congressional
Register" 10 be issued weekly, and to
contain a FULL REPORT Of the daily pro-

made with the very best corps ofreporters
enable us TO give even more full and

during this session, superior as we claim
them to be to any proceeding ones. The
Register will be made up from the daily
reports in the "Union,' carefully revised
by an experienced editor, and will con-
,titute a complete and authentic record
of the session. APPENDIX will be added,
uniform with the Register, and to be sent
yratuitously to subscribers, comprising a
list of the acts passed during the session,
with synopsis Of their contents, and
reference, when necessary, TO previous
