| mem0ered oy all true TePhoiicaus iOr The
triumphant success of msDy of their cher
ished principles and measures. While we
heartily rejoice a the triumph Of the prin-
Eciples W hich il has been our constant cf>
fort to advocate aud defend, aud from
%hich no prosperity, no adversity, can,
swerve us; we cannot be unmndfnl Of the
attitude in which we are placed by a re.
cent vote of both houses Of fCongress:--we
ailude to the contemplated withdrawal of
their patronage from the newspaper press.
To this decision we chee rfully low, SEN
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; and
to them we confidently appeal to aid us;
by their patronage, 10 sustaining at the
seat Of government journal tbat is in
hexibiy devoted TO their interests Of the
country.
| 1t is known to every one, that the chief
source Of sustaining newspaper is not the
magnitude ofits subscribtion lists, SO much
as the advertising patronage which may
be bestowed upon it. 10 large commer-
cial cities, indeed, the latter is usually
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
cdentto mercantile community, and
burdeued with peculiar and enormous ex-
penses which are not elsewhere incurred,
nothing but very long lists ofsubscribIng
patrons can sustain paper in usefulness
if, indeed, ever in existence. The pro-
prietors of the "UnIon" have hitherto
spared no pains, and no 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-
ieved, ever before attemp. ed on this con-
| tinent in daily newspaper they have
| secured the services of he best reporters
which the country afforded, but at the
enemies cost of $4,000 or $l5 900 per
| year. Their extensive foreign and do>
mestic correspondence is another large
| item of expense, but the instructive uses
ulness of which is so highly commended
and appreciated as TO justify almost any
outlay 10 attain it. Still, it must be evil
dent that these heavy expenses cannot bs
| borne, unless the subsCrlolion list is cJm-
mensurate to the undertaking.; and al
| though we can boast of Is ,0O0 subscribers,
Including daily, tri.w eekly, and weekly,)
vet tins list must be still consider bly, en-
iarged to enable the proprietors of the
.'Union" 10 sustain all It's usefulness, and
to insure them against pecuniary loss. In
voking, lhen, agaio, the aid and support
of all true friends of republican govern.
m ut, and pledging ourselves to renewed
forts in the cause OF the glorious princi-
pies we cherish, we offer the following
promise.

The ,@SEMl-W WEELl UNION" will be
published every Monday and Thursday,

anuum. This c0ntains all the matterco con.
tataed in the DAILY Union" except local
advertisements. During The session Of
Congress three numbers, instead OF two,
will be issued, without any extra charge
to subscribers.
Enlargement of the Weekly Union.
The WEEKLY UNION' is issued
every Saturday; and as arrangements are
in progress TO enlarge it to near doubleit
present SIZE, we shall soon be enabled to
give nearly every article which may appear
~ the daily and semi, weekly editions, at
the extremely low rate of s.! We pros
pose also to give, in this edition, COM
plele synoptical summary of the proceed
Jugs in both houses of Congress thus ren>
dering the Weekly Union a most wall
liable channel Of information TO all classes
Of our country. But, to renumerate us
for this enterprise, an extensive subscrlb- "a
ton list is absolutely indispensable.
CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER.
In addition TO the foregoing, we have
resolve to publish, during the session Of
the national legislature, "Congressional
Register" to be issued weekly, and to
contain a FULL REPORT of the daily pros
ceedings and debates Of both houses. H.
deed, the arrangements which we have
made with the very best corps of reporters
extended reports than we have produced
during this session, superior as we claim
them to be to any proceeding ones. The
Register will be made up from the daily
reports 10 the sUnion,' carefully revised
by au experienced editor, and will con-
stilute complete and authentic record
of the session. APPENDIX will be added,
uniform with the Register, and TO be sent
gratuitously to subscribers, comprising a
list Of the acts passed during the session,
with synopsis Of their contents, and a
reference, when necessary. TO previous
legislation. This will form the most CON-
plete history of tho sessions of Congress,
and will be furnished at the low price OF,
SEVENTY FIVE CENTS for the next session.
o. PosrMAsTERs are authorized TO act
as our agents; and by sendingns i've years
ly sbscribers, with the subscribtion
money, for either the Daily, Semi. Weekly.
