 The Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly Union, Will, as usual, embrace an interesting variety of matter on political, scientific, and literary subjects, along with current news of the day. The editor will continue to devote all his energies 10 the im- proyement of ''i'he Union." He finds many ac- eomplished men of this city. The administration hisbrougl twthit a considerable accessi, talents. Several tried and distinguished members of the de- nocfatic party have accepted office under 1t. Some of them have berally contributed their literary la. bors to our benefit and we hope to enlist others in our service. Besides, the time is not far distant when the editor intends to call other talents to his assistance His ambition is, to make hispaper wor- thy of the metropolis of the Union. He is persua- dcd that, with the facilities 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 lie is attempting to establish in foreign countries, paper may be pub lished, which is not unworthy o the support of his country. In undertaking the task, he knew he had many difficulties to overcome, many lessons to learn, many sacrifices to encounter He knew that, amid the ardous cares of new theatre he could not at first do justice even to himself; but his zeal has never Jagged. What enthusiasm and industry can effect, will be fully accomplished. Some errors he may have already committed But upon one point, he can speak with great pleasure and with equal l freedom. The men who administering this go- Yernment working men, anxious as he be- eyes, 10 dc their duty, 10 their country, to carry out the pledges under which the President was elected, and the great principles of the party So long as the administration is conducted in this spirit, and npon those principles. he is prepared to cooperate with them in the public services; and to give them as he promised in his prospectus, ga fair, liberal, and efficient support" 1 We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt manner in which our political friends in every ton of the country have already come forward to sustain the "union.n
