The Nashville daily union. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1862-1866, 1866-06-17
To the Patrons of the Nashville
Union.

Union.
The decline in business in Nashville, |
during the past three months has been
most marked Every branch of trade
and commerce, and of the industrial
pursuits, has felt, in some degree, its
parslyzing effects. We have felt them,
not merely in the decrease of adver-
Using and the circulation of the UEIoS,
but in the difficulty of making cOllec-
tons TO meet our daily accruing ex-
penses. Whist compelled to pay cash
for labor and every thing consumed in
the prosecution of our business, we
have been compelled, to very large
extent, TO extend credit TO those who
patronized US, and many OF them fail
ing TO meet their obligations, has i'm
posed upon US the necessity of using
up what capital is left US, or abandon
ing the publication of cur newspaper.
We have determined, very reluctantly,
to adopt the latter course. So with the
present issue, the daily NASHVILLE
UNION will be suspended. We trust
that this suspension viii be only tenn
porary, and that with the revival of
business next autumn, if it does revive,
we shall find the prospect sufficiently
inviting TO justify US in resuming it
again.
In the meantime the Weekly NASH
VILE UNION will be continued and pub
lished every Saturday morning. twill
contain all the news of the week, to-
gether with miscellaneous and other
matter, giving it interest as family
newspaper. Advertisements in the
Daily unexpired will be inserted in the
Weekly.
The Nashville Union Job Office is one
of the best in the Southwest, and viii!
be continued in operation as hereto
fore The stock of materials compre-
bends an unusual variety, amongst
which are the latest styles of types, &c.
We shall have competent and skillful
printers, and solicit continuation Of
the favors we have heretofore received.
We take leave of our friends, the
reading public, with sincere regret
The NASHVILLE UNION was started in
the dark days of 1862, when it was
uncertain what would be the result OF
the unnatural war into which our coun-
try had been precipitated by wicked
and designing politicians. Through
out the administration of the Military
Governor it gave him warm and I'M
faltering support and gave its inau-
ence to all just measures, calculated TO
bring peace to our people and restore
Tennessee to her proper relations with
the General Government. The war
ended, and peace returned once more
TO bless the land, it sustained President
johnson in his noble and magnani
nous efforts TO rehabilitate the South,
ern States in all their rights except
those admitted to be lost by the deci.
sion of the appeal to arms against the
South 1t had full faith in the policy
inaugurated 10y the President, and
maintained by him with firmness and
spirit oreditable alike to the age and tC
American courage AID persistencyi anC
has seen no cause to doubt the ultimate
triumph of that policy. 1t cannot be
that the great masses Of this nation
will reject it, and adopt in its stead the
measures of his enemies, which, if no
so intended, will perpetuate discorc
and strife, and wrong and oppression
Firm in this faith, we ave full of hope
for the future, in the triumph of jus
principles and the restoration of al
the States to their proper places in TIT
glorious old constellation. When thi
contamination is reached, as we de
voutly believe it will be, we shall re
subscribe with renewed zeal and pa
triotism to the immortal sentiment O
the honored WEBSTER" Liberty an
Union, no0 and Joreuer one and insfpei
able"
With these remarks we make on
exit for the present
PRoPRIEToRs OF THE UNION.
