ported at length by full and able corpse OF con-
gressonaI reporters and revised before publication
by the authors, whenever it is requested These

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 develope the
general plan of the present administration. Its
measures will stamp the character of our institu-
tons for years to come. Some of the most inn
portant questions which are connected with our
foreign relations, or our domestic concerns, will be
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure of ratfying the constitution OF Texas, which
is TO consummate her admission into our Union,
and the admission of her members into our public !
councils-every measure which affects the Oregon
question-our relations with Mexico-as well as
the final decision the revived ZolVe reIn trea-

less connected with our foreign relations, Will come
under the review of the approaching Congress
Most of the emnently important questions which
relate to our internal concerns-the revision OF the
of Eoct ITO
ing the public moneys-a variety of commercial
neutrality-suspicious. the best system for regulating
the important interests of Texas-the Indian ques
tions-thc land questionable best system for our

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

The Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly Union
WILL as usual, embrace all interesting variety OF

members of the democratic party have accepted Of

butcd their literary Iabors to our benefit; and we
hope to enlist others in service. Besides, the
time is not far distant when the editor intends to
call other talents to his assistance. His ambition
is, to make his paper worthy of the metropolis of
the Union. He is persuaded that, with the facili-

Al
taking the task, he knew he had many difficulties
to overcome, many lessons to learn, many sacrifi-
ces to encounter. He knew that amid the arduOus
cares of new theatre he could not at first do JUS
tice even to himself; but his zeal has never flag

may have already committed. But upon one point,
he can speak with great pleasure and with equal
freedom. The men who are administering this

spirit, and upon those principles, he is prepared to
cooperate with them in the public service; and to
give them as he proposed in his prospectus, fair
liberal, and efficient support"
