The session Of Congress, which has just ter
minated, will be long and gratefully remembered by
all true republicans for the triumphant success OF
many Of their cherished principles and measures.
While We heartily rejoice at the triumph of the prin
ciples which il has been our constant effort to adyo
cate aud Defend and from which no prosperity, no
adversely, can swers us; We cannot be unmindful
Of the attitsde 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 we cheer
fully bow, sensible as of the patriotic motives
which have led TO it, But trust that this decision of
Congress increases rather than diminishes our
claim to the support Of higher power--thaI ofihs
people, and TO them we confidently appeal to aid us,
by their patronage, in sustaining the seat Of gov
ernmen journal that Is inaexibly devoted TO their
interests and the true interests Of the country.


IL is known TO every one, that the chief source of
sustaining newspaper is not the magnitude Of It's
subscription list, much the advertising patron
ago which may be bestowed upon it. In large
commercial cities, indeed, the latter is usually the
ooncomitant of the former, as il becomes the OBJ
vious interest of mercantile men to advertise in
those papers which are the most extensively circu-
lated Washington, however, is differently stu
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 list of
subscribing patrons sustain paper in useful
ness--f, indeed, even in existence. The propre-
tors Of the "Union" have hitherto spared no palms,
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- it is believed, ever before
attempted on this continent in a 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 exten-
siye foreign and domestic correspondence is another
large item Of expense, but the instructive useful
ness Of which is so highly commended and appre-
cated as to justify almost any outlay to attain it,
Still, it must be evident that these heavy expenses
cannot be borne, unless the subscription list is COM
mensurate to the undertaking; and although we can
boast Of $1,000 subscribers, (ncluding daily, tri-
weekly, and weekly) yet this list must be still con-
sderaby enlarged to enable the proprietors Of the


Union" TO sustain all It's usefulness and to insure
| them against pecuniary loss. Invoking, then,
again. the aid and support Of all true friends Of re-
publican gosernment, and pedging 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.
zeal. We purpose in future to devote portion of
its columns to domestic news of general interest,
and to miscellaneous literature, which, witho inn
pairng its political influence, may render it the moro
acceptable to an extended class Of readers.


The "Semi- weekly Union, will be publish
e. very Monday and Thursday, during the recess
of Co.-sress, at IS per annum. This contains all


he matter Contained in the "DaiIy 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 as arrangements are in progress to enlarge
1t to near double lis present size, shall soon be en-
abed to give nearly every article which may appear
IN the daily and semi-weekly editions. at the ex-
tremely low rate of 80. We propose also to give,
in this edition, complete synopdcal summary of
the proceedings in both houses of Congress--thus
rendering the "Weekly Unonn most valuable
channel of information to all classes of our country
But, to remuncrate for this enterprise an extern
sive subscription list is absolutely indispensable.


Congressional Register.


In addition to the foregoing, we have resolved to
publish, during the sessions of the national legisa-
ture, Congressional Register" to be issued week.
ly, and to contain FULL REPORT of the daily pro-
ceedngs and debates of both houses Indeed, the
arrangements 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 an 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-


ousy to subscribers, comprising list of the acts
passed during the session, with synopsis of their
contents, and reference, when necessary, to pre-
vious legislation. This will form the most COM
plele history of the sessions Of Congress, and will
be furnished at the low price of sEvENrY-rIvE CENTS
for the next session.
