Will our friend# exert themselves?Of tho valut of the Weekly Union to correct misrepresentations, exposefalsehood, dispel error, and to bring before the peqplo the principlesand measures of tho democratic party In all their simplicity, purity,uud abiding strength, we have testimony, as abundant as It is flattering,from nearly every congressional district lu the United States.J his testimony Is of itself the strongest argument which could bo oderodof tho necessity of promptly extending the sphore of its concededusefulDess. I make this appeal n<* from the selfish considerations ofpecuniary gain.as the subscription price of the W«k/y Union is eulow as U> burely cover Iho cost of priutlug and tho white paper.butfrom motives which I think will he understood and appreciated bydemocrats everywhere.

In conclusion, I desire to say a tow wards to subscribers, and tosnob as may lisruafler become subscribers. There Is now owing tothe Union Mtablishmont upwards of seventy thousand dollars for backsubscription.- Those enormous arrearages aro tho rssult of the creditsystem. With the now volume upon which the Union has enteredtimt system is abundonod, and hereafter the busmesa ol' tho establishmentwill lie conducted on strictly auk principle!.
