THE WEEKLY UNION.

This weeks issue is ready for delivery 1t contains
all the Of the late election which have been received
in this city by mail telegraph up to the time of going
to press besides the customary amount of political and
miscellaneous matter Our time has been so much occn
pied within the last few months with business connected
with the important campaign which has terminated so
gorousy for the democratic party that have failed to
direct frequently desirable the attention Of the
public to the merits of the Weekly Union interesting
and efficient organ Of the national democracy That II has
proved acceptable defender and Interpreter Of those i'm
mutable principles upon which the democracy have tr
umphany rested for than half century is evidenced
in the fact that its circulation is confined TO particular
section Of the Union and that meets with as much favor
at the hands Of our political friends on the banks of the
Penobscot the banks of the Mississippi With one
exception cly the Weekly Union has the largest circu-
laton Of any political newspaper published in the United
States bat, large it h should like to it quadru.
Piled within the next twelve months not from consdera
tons Of pecaniary advantageor the low price of sub
scrpoa precludes all ideas prohtbut from the conf
deaf belief that increase of readers would in the end
result in increase of democratic voters This belief may
of vanity but give expression to it in such
worthy spirit 1t is matter Of almost universal remark
that the influence Of the democratic press was never
sgnally more bene6ciay displayed than in the
late canvass, and to that influence much to any
other is the country indebted for its safe and Triumphant
deliverance from the imminent dangers Of fanacsm
the side, and the daring plots of aectonasm thu
other. ~...e,.. 8. .... 4. ....

rate Of dollar per 1t is very large and hand
soaey printed sheet and contains vast amount of usef
and entertaining reading matter other subjects besides

In this connection both endorse and copy the ugges
ton Of the Albany Argus that the best way for the demo
Gratis to the States which they have lost at thu
North ia to the circulation Of democratic Newspaper,
The Argus says:
"There be doubt that the New York Weekly Tri
bune with circulation throughout the northern
and Western States obtained in many the idea tina
wS not partisan psper has done the democratic
great damage in the recent contest The andoe thi
evil 10 the circulation Of sound and efficient democratic pa
pes and political friends should attend this
asS, and thus the seed for the next campaign.
1--WE have word to say to democratic postmssters ii
this connection Thousands of them all the country
have in past years. aided the circulation of he New Yorl
Weekly Tribune, by getting up clubs for it. There wa
apology for this when that paper not violently
partisan at present. But postmasers who longer
this furnish aid and comfort to the enemy Their influence
members of the democratic party, and particularly
office holders at its hands should be exercised in favor Of h
circulation OF democratic newspapers.
"The democratic party has certainly right expect tina
those holding Office under will engage in the ccua
Gon OF republican papers and documents Postmasers
readily and with bat little labor largely increase the aggre
gate circulation of democrAs newspapers the country
and think that under the teachings of the late
they viii feel disposed attend to this political duty
1--WE repeat, II 10 duty to begin the campagI
by the circulation Of newspaper by maintaining AM
perfscng organization and by such other efforts
secure democratic ascendcncy."
