The UNDERSIGNED respectfully inform the pub !
lie, chat, with the commencement of the approach |
ing session of Congress- they will begin the publ
cation of the " Congressional Union and "Ap-
pendlx." The first will contain full and accu-
rate history of the daily proceedings of both BRAN

terested in the public affairs will find it complete
synopsis of their proceedings, and ready book of
reference upon all questions which come before
them.
The second, (the "Appendix,'') will contain
every speech which is delivered in the House of
Representatives and Senate during the session, re-
ported at length by full and able corpse of con-
gresSlonal reporters, and revised lefore publication
by the authors, whenever it is requested. These
two works will be strictly impartial, and are in
tended to be as Interesting and useful to the man
Of business and to the politician of the one par
ty as the other.
! 1t may be said, without exaggeration, that the
next session OF Congress Is destined to be one of
the most important which has taken place since
the foundation OF the government. 1t is the long
session 1t is the session which will developc the
general plan Of the present administration. It's
I measures will stamp the character of our instu-
tons tor years to come Some of the most i'm
.portant questions which are connected with our
foreign relations, domestic concerns will be
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure OF ratIfvlng the constitution of Texas which
Is to consummate her admission into oar Union,
and the admission of her members into our public
councils-every measure which affects the Oregon
qusstion-our relations with Mexiro-as well as
the final decision the revived ZOil-V eren trea-
ty,-these, and other measures which are more or
less connected with our oreign relations will come

; Most Of the eminently important questions which
relate to internal cOncerns-the revision OF the
tariff-the adoption Of the best mode for preserv-
ing the public moneys--a variety Of commercial
measures perhaps the best system FOR regulating
the important interests Of Texas-the Indian ques-
tionS-the land questionable best system for our
navy-thc>e aud others will Constitute mass of
business which is calculated to command much of
the time of Congress, and much of the attention
of the people. They will all be reported by the
Congressional Unlun."
The Daily. Semi-Weeky, and Weekly Union
will, usual embrace All interesting variety OF
matter political, scieItlnc and literary subjects
along with the current OF the day. The
editor will continue to devote all his energies to
!, the Improvement of "'The Union.' He finds ma
my accomplished men in this city. IKE admins
traon has brought with it considerable acces-
sion of talents. Several tried and distinguished
members Of the democratic party have accepted OF
flee under it. Some of them have literally cOnirl
buted their literary iahors to benefit; and VIC
hope to enlist others in service. Besides, tho
time is not far distant when the editor intends tc
call other talents to his assistance. His ambition
is, to make his paper worthy OF the metropolis O.
the Union. He is persuaded that, with the tacill
tiles which his position enables him to employ
with the official and other materials placed within
his reach and with the aid of The correspondence
which he is attempting to establish foreign coun
tries paper may he published, which is not un
worthy of the support of his country In under
;. taking the task. he knew he had many difficulties
to overcome many lessons to learn, many sacrifi
ICes to encounter. He knew that, amid the arduOu
cares of new theatre he could not at first do jus
tce even TO himself; but his zeal has never flag
ged. What enthusiasm and industry can never et
} feet, will be fully accomplished. Some errors h
may have already committed. But upon one point
he can speak with great pleasure and with equa
freedom The men who are administering thl
Is government working mon, anxious as he be
ilevcs. to do their duty, to serve their country,
carry out the pledges under which the Pre>ldcn
was elected, and the great principles OF the party
so long as the administration is conducted in thl
spirit and upon those principles, he is prepared
cooperate with them in the public service; and t
give them, as he proposed in his prospectus, tan
liberal, and efficient support"
We feel deep sense Of gratitude for the promP
+ manner in which political friends, III ever
