WHEN SUBSCRIBED FOR IN CLUBS OF NOT LESS THAN TEN COPIES 70 ONE ADDRESS! We have been compelled to raise the club subscription price to one dollar and fifty cents in order to save our selves from actual loss. Paper has risen, including taxes, about twenty-five per cent., and is still rising; and when we tell our Demodratie friends, candidly, that we can no longer affdrd to sell the Weekly PATRIOT AND Mims at one dollar a year, and must add fifty cents or stop the publication, we trust they will appreciate our position, and, instead of withdrawing their subscrip tions, go to work with a will to increase our list in every county in the State. We have endeavor,d, and shall continue our efforts, to make the paper useful as a party organ, and welcome as a news messenger to every fam. ily. We flatter ourselves that it has not been without some influence in producing the glorious revolution in the politics of the State achieved at the late election; and if fearlessness in the discharge of duty, fidelity to the principles of the party, and an anxious desire to pro mote its interests, with some experience and a moderate degree of ability, can be made serviceable hereafter, the Weekly PATRIOT AND UNION will not be less useful to the party or less welcome to the family circle in the fu ture.than it has been in the past. We confidently look for increased encouragement in this great enterprise, and appeal to every influential Democrat in the State to lend UN his aid in running our subscription list up to twenty or thirty thousand. The expense to each indi vidual is trifling, the benefit to the party may be great. Believing that the Democracy of the State feel the ne cessity of sustaining a fearless central organ, we make this appeal to them for assistance with the fullest confi dence of success. The same reasons which induce us to raise the prise of the Weekly, operate in regard to the Dailfpaper, the price of which is also increased. 'Maddalena' cost to each subscriber will be but trilling; and, while we can not persuade ourselves that the change necessarily made will result in any diminution of our daily circulation, yet, were we certain that such wettlci be the once quence, we should still be compelled to make it, or suf fer a ruinous loss. tinder these circumstances we must throw ourselves. upon the generosity, or, rather, the justice of the public, and abide their verdict, whatever it may be. The period for which many of our subscribers have paid for their paper being on the eve of expiring, we take the liberty of issuing this notice, reminding them of the same, in order that they may RENEW THEIR CLUBS. We shall also take it as an especial favor if our present nubs cribers willurge upon their neighbors the fact that the PATRIOT AND UNION ie the only Democratic paper printed in Harrisburg, and considering the large amount of reading matter, embracing all the current news of the day, and TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES Prom everywhere up to the moment the paper goes to press, political, miscellaneous, general and local news market reports, is decidedly the CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER PUBLISHED IN THE STATE! There is acarcely a village or town in the state in which a club cannot be raised if the proper exertion be made, and surely there are few places in alaioli one or more energetic men cannot be found who are in favor of the dissemination of sound Democratic doctrines, who would be willing to make the effort to raise a club, • DEMOCRATS OF THE INTERIOR I Let us hear from yon.

The price, even et the advanced rate, is so low that we cannot offer greater inducements than this. Additions maybe made at any time to a club of subscribers by remitting one dollar and fifty cents for each additional name.

BABRBTT & CO., Harrloburg, P N.B.—The following law,passed.by Congress in 1860, defines the duty of Postmasters in relation to the de livery of newspapers to club subscribers : (Soo Little, Bremen ¢ Co.'s seytpos of the Laws of 1860, page 88, chapter 131, section 1.) - "Provided, however, that where packages of new/Ta pers or periodicals are received at any poet office directed to one address, and the names of the club subscribers to which they belong, with the postage for a quarter in ad vance, shall be handed to the postmaster, he shall de liver the same to their respective owners." To enable the Postmaster to comply with this regula tion, it will be necessary that he be furnished with the list of names composing the club, and paid a quarter's (or year's) postage in advance. The uniform courtesy of Postmasters, affords the assurance that they will cheerfeilyaccommodate club subscribers, and the latter should take care that the postage, which is but a trifle In each case, bepaid in advance.
