The session OF Congress, which has Just ter
minated, viii be long and gratefully remembered by
all true republicans for the triumphant success of
many of their cherished principles aud measures.
While we heartily rejoice at the triumph Of the Prn-
cples which il has been our constant effort to sdyo-
cate and defend and from which prosperity, no
adversely, can swerys uFi we cannot be unmindful
Of the attitude in which We are placed by recent
vote Of both houses Of Congress-we allude to the
contemplated withdrawal Of their patronage from
the newspaper press. To this decision cheer
fully bow sensible as of the patriotic motives
which have led to it. But we rus, that this decision Of
Congress increases rather than dmnishes
claim TO the support of higher power--that The
psopisj and to them we confidently appeal 10 aid US,
by their patronage, in sustaining at the scat Of gov
eminent journal that is inHexibly devoted to their
interests and the true interests Of the country.


Ii is known to every one that the chief source of
sustaining newspaper is not the magnitude Of its
subscription list, much as the advertising patron
age which may be bestowed upon. it, In large
commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usually the
concomitant Of the former, il becomes the OBJ
yious interest of mercantile men to advertise in
those papers which are the most extensively cireu-
lated. Washington, however, is differently situ-
ated. Deprived Of the advertising patronage Incl
dent to mercantile community, and burdened with
peculiar and enormous expenses which are not
elsewhere incurred, nothing but very long lst Of
subscribing patrons can sustain paper in useful
ness--if, indeed, even in existence. The proprie-
tors Of the "Unon" have hitherto spared no pains,
and no expense, 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, il is believed, ever before
attempted on this continent in daily newspaper,
they have secured the services Of the best reporters
which the country afforded, but at the enormous
cost of $4,000 or $4,000 per year Their exteh-
sivo foreign and domestic correspondence is another
large item Of expense, but the instructive useful
ness Of which is so highly commended and appre-
eiated to justify almost any outlay TO attain it.
Still, it must be evident that these heavy expenses
cannot be borne, unless the subscription st is COM
mensurate to the undertaking. and although we
boast Of $1,000 subscribers, (ineuding daily, tn
weekly, and weekly,) yet this list must be still
sderaby enlarged to enable the proprietors Of the
"Unon" TO sustain all its usefulness, and TO insure
them against pecuninry loss. Invoking, then,
again, the aid and support Of all friends of
publican go Sernment, and pledging ourselves to re-
newed efforts in the cause Of the glorious principles
we cherish, we offer the following proposals


The "Daily Union' will be published, as here
tofore, at $40 per annum, payable in advance. Its
character hitherto has been almost exclusively polt-
ical. We purpose in future to devote portion of
its columns to domestic news Of general interest,
and to miscellaneous literature, which, without i'm
pairing its political influence, may render II the more
acceptable to an extended class of readers.


The "Semi- weekly Uniono will be publish
Q. every Monday and Thursday, during the recess
Of Co.eress, at IS per annum. This contains all


he matter .ontained in the "Daily UniOn," except
local advertisements. During the sessions of Con-
gress three numbers instead Of two, will be issued,
without any extra charge to subscribers.


Enlargement OF the weekly Union.


The "Weekly Uniono is issued every Satur.
day; and arrangements in progress to enlarge
it to double is present size, shall be en-
abled to give nearly every article which may appear
in the daily and semi-weekly editions, at the ex-
tremely low rate Of ~. We propose also to give,
in this edition, complete synoptical summary of
the proceedings in both houses of Congress--thus
rendering the "Weekly Union" most valuable
channel of information to all classes OF our country.
But to remunerate us for this enterprise, an exten
sive subscription list is absolutely Indispensable


Congressional Register.


In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to
publish, during the sessions of the national Iegsla-
ture, Congressional Register to be issued week.
-
ceedings and debates of both houses. Indeed the
which we have made with the very
best corps Of reporters will enable us to give even
more full and extended reports than we have pro-
duced during this session, superior as we claim
them to be to any preceding ones. The Register
will be made up from the daily reports in the
"Union," carefully revised by experienced edi-
tor, and will constitute complete and authentic
record of the session. An appendix will be added,
uniform with the Register, and to be sent gratui-
tously to subscribers, comprising list of the acts
passed during the session, with synopsis of their
and reference, when necessary, to pre-
vious legislation. This will form the most COM
pete history of the sessions of Congress- and will
be furnished at the low price of sEvENrY-FyE CENTS
for the next session.


AZ PosTMAsTERs are authorized to act as our
agents; and by sending us five yearly subscribers,
with the subscription money, for either the Daily,
Semi Weekly, or Weekly will be entitled to one copy
Of the same edition as they furnish US subscribers
for.


~ The CONGRESSIONAL REGISTER will be fur
nshed them on the same terms. n-..

Congress- to receive copy Of the Congressional
Register and 1ri- Weekly Union. nrs-
