to their peace and safety, and they pfcMod him, with aoclomos,
st the head or the government end the nation. He realised at
e tbclr hopes and expectations by catling to his assistance a cabinet
ilea combining th'o rarest qualifications of talents, experience, and
esrtmiishlp?mep endeared to the democratic party by all their andviits;
by the teal which they l*ad displaced olid the ear r kiss
ch they had rendered in tome of the most honorable offices of the
utry, In supporthig and sustsluing the principles, the measures, and
policy of our |>arty. A few weeks JJtd sufficed to fill every Petri
heart in the land with confidence and hope. ?vrn Ms political
miss seem to reaped hbn. ShimUcism itself appears willing lor a
neat to moderate Ita lone; and the. enemies of our peace, of the
miuiUon, and the Union will not be able much longer to disturb the I
lie mind by their fanatical shrieks and trcuaonnble agitation,
arge as the circulation of the Union la, It (alls far short of those
gonous fanatical shoots tlial are literally spread broadcast over the
Mitkles, and which find their way In large numbers hi too many of
southern tftabw. An an antidote to the poison or those publications,
friends should be aealoua in extending the circulation of the Union.
eo who have been placed in offices of profll by democratic votes
did aid in circulating democratic Journals; and to postmasters in
ticular wc confidently look lir active oo operation In our present
rls to place a oopy of tho (taffy, Weekly, or Semi- IfVHtfy Union
he hands of every farmer, mechanic, and working-man la tho
ntr^.
be subscription price of the Daily Union Is ten dollars per annum,
i JV| Weekly (published semi weekly during tho recoss of Omgress)
ve dollars per annum, tnd contains all tuo rnadtng matter which
esrfc in the Dally. The Weekly Union is furnished to subscribers at
low rate of one dollar per annum, and la Justly regarded as tho
apift political liaper' in the world. It Is a largo and hantlsoinely-,
itod sheet, and contains as much reading matter In tho course of n
lvotnooth as would make twelve ordinary oriaeo volume*. It will lie
ad to possess tho advantages of both a political and a family newsier.
The most liniortant jiolltical articles of the dally issue ore
inferred to tho weekly, and during tho sitting of Congress a careful
tract of tbo dally proceedings of the two houses Is prepared exdvoly
for Ita columns. It contains, bosidos all Important Mate pos
if tho yoar, eloctiou returns from every Male In the Union,
ecbes of dlstlugoiohed democrats iu and out of Congress, Interesting
ragpondeuce, n full snnimary of foreign and domestic news, and
n week to week such Information In regard to the agricultural,
nufacturlng, end commercial Interests of the country ss wiU be
ml, It is hollered, of |iarllciilar value.
hat the Weekly Union Is appreciated In the most substantial manby
democrats In every section of the Union, no better evidence
id b? desired than Is furnished by Its rapidly increasing circulation,
bio eighteen months twenty thoutand new nuines have been added to
ulmcrlption list, and, with the slightest exertion on the part of onr
nds. Ha circulation can bo Increased to one hundred thousand oo<
before the clone of tlio year. Will our friends exert themselves?
the value of the Weekly Union to correct misrepresentations, expose
ohohd, dispel error, and to bring before the people the principles
I munsures of the democratic party In all tlielr simplicity, purity,
I abiding strength, we have testimony, as abundant as It Is flatter,
from nearly every congressional district In tbo United States,
s testlmouy Is of Itself the strongest argument which could bo ofl'urof
tlje necessity of promptly extending the sphere of its conceded
fulnfess. 1 make this appeal not from the selfish considerations of
unlnry gain?as the subscription price of the Weekly Union is so
as |ii barely cover the cost of printing and the while paper?but
m liotives which I think will be understood ami appreciated by
noemts everywhere.
n conclusion, 1 desire to say a few words to subscrlliers, and to
b a i may hereafter become subscribers. There Is now owing to
Un on establishment upwards of seventy thousand dollars for back
iscrl itlons. These enormous arrearages are the result of tho credit
torn With the new volume upon which tlio Union has sntercd
I sydtem Is abandoned, and hereafter the business of the establlsbnt
will be conducted on strictly rxuk principle*. Ho subscriptions
the, Ueilr, Semi-weekly, or Weekly Issue will bs received unless j
oni|>niile<( with thohdysnce payments.
