WASHINGTON, Feb. 6, 1870.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD--
The undersigned, 0fiicial representatives OF the
National Labor Union, are desirous OF procuring
OF national clrcuiation, through which
to enunciate the doctrines and purposes OF the
ganizatton.
In most OF the States OF this Union the State ana
local organizations have the medium OF newspapers
either established by themselves or IN their interest
in connection with other purposes. We represent
the interests Of over four millions OF voters, in
connection with whom may fairly be added
25 OOO 900 OF people. The oiical utterances OF the
undersigned viii command q comprehensive hear
ing, and the action, especially the congressional
action OF the antagonists OF labor will demand the
occasional repetition Of these utterances. We pro-
pose TO the NEW YORK HERALD, on account
among other reasons Of its larger circulation that
1t become the medium Of the National Labor Union
for the object stated in the first paragraph hereof,
upon the terms, nrst, that no communication in the
name OF the National Labor Union be published, eX-
cept the signatures OF the Undersigned officers,
or such OF them as they shall IN writing
authorize. And secondly, that the HERALD and the

Union ana the enunciation OF the measures IN con-
nectOn herewith. In return Tor the benefit con-
ferrad upon the National Labor Union by the use OF
Journal OF such standing and circulation in their be-

tlonal sale Of the newspaper will compensate. And
In ths connection let IL be said 1t is the purpose OF
the undersigned press by every legitimate means
the progress 10 success OF the cause and interests OF
American labor up to the time OF the next Con-
gressionai elections, and TO make them n ruling IN
nuence In those elections. And in view OF this 1t
Is principally tnat ADDRESS ourselves to the
New YORK HERALD. And why? We propose that

with. The amount OF 1t would be conJectural with
U.S. and could probably he ascertalned better by the
experience Of the HERALD. Nor would there be a
heavy pressure upon Its columns. The undersigned
would necessarily nave to act only occasions OF
moment; direct and advise the action OF SO numerous

enemy influential as the enemy OF labor, and 80
