il WAS unpleasant to ourselves, in
obtaining larger sized paper, we
present our readers this morning
with a considerably enlarged sheet,
IN which we shall be able TO give
our former amount Of reading
matter. Tue past season, dating
as far back as the first Of Au-
gust, has been peculiarly upon
newspaper in orr location, and
imposed onerous burdens on both
editor and publishers. Theformer
has been deprived Of all regular
exchanges, and the latter have
been compelled to depend solely
upon local support, in city with
ont trade, inasmuch as it was inn
possible for them to send the paper
either Northward or Southwark, in
the absence Of all mail facilities.
Notwithstanding all these Difficult
ties and hindrances, TO our agreea-
bic disappointment, the circulation
of the UNION has greatly increased,
and -Me taIe-this- occasion to tender
our hearty thanks to a generous
public for their support, and rs
they have stood by us in dark
hours, we promise that our paper
shall improve in interest and in
size, ms fast rs our abilities and
means will allow us to increase
either, until we shall publish II
journal worthy in all respects Of the
capital of Tennessee.
OF the future course and princi-
plss of the UNION, we have only to
we have no modification
or abatement to make of the main
doctrines which we have already
advanced and advocated. We are
in the midst Of a mighty reyolu-
ton, in which it is ruin, disaster
and death for loyal men to take
one step backwards. Others may
grow lukewarm, and talk of com
promising with traitors, but with
our consent not n star shall fall, or
a stripe be torn, from the National
banner, by the Richmond dynasty.
We are Internationally for the
Nationality and integrity of the
Federal Union, now and forever,
and we are the political brother,
and fellow-soldier Of every man
whether he voted for BELL, DoUG-
LAS, BRECKINRmGE, or LINCOLN,
who is n bold and determined
friend of the Federal Union, and
of our country's nationality. We
hate the Richmond dynasty, and
their Consumption and Twenty-Five
gro Exemption Laws and Seces-
sionism, and cotton negro-aristoc-
racy, Ia all Is forms, as we do the
;S.-We want the fertile and
Lroad fields of the South to be the
omes of free, intelligent white
sborers, instead of degraded and
gnorant negro seris. We want to
oe labor and laborers elevated
Mud made respectable in Tonnes
see. We want to invite an influx
of loyal immigrants into our State,
To put new life and enterprise into
her paralyzed limbs, now punched
full of holes" by the daggors of
treason, and streaming with the
life blood of her young men. We
want 10 see the creed and practice
Of loyalty raised so high that pa.
triots will deem It a disgrace to
apologize for treason and traitors.
We want to see the land once more
blessed with the enduring sunshine
of an honorable peace, based upon
the complete aud unconditional
submission of the rebels now in
farms. and not lit up with the de-
1eitiul glow OF a peace based upon
emasculate loyalty, and conces-
sions to traitors--the glow of a
meteor which would shine only to
betray, and going out would leave
MS in darkness tenfold more
gloomy than that which prevailed
before.
These are the sentiments and
views which the UsIoN will con-
rinue TO advocate through what
ever Of storm or sunshine may
await it in the future.
