stAppENDEX.,, &c

THE uypEHs1sNED respectfully inform the pub
lie, that with the commencement of the approach
ing session of Congress- they will begin the publ
cation of the Congressional Union" and zap
gerdtx." The first will contain full and accu-
rate history of the daily proceedings of both BRAN
ches of the national legislature. 1t will be COM
piled with such care that every citizen who Is IN
terested in the public affairs will find it complete
synopsis of their proceedings, and a ready book OF
reference upon all questions which come before
them. # 1t
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-
gressional reporters and revised before 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 develope the
general plan of the present administration. Its
measures will stamp the character of our lnstitu-
tions for years to come. Some Of the most i'm
portant questions which are connected with our
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure of ratIfying the constitution of Texas which
is TO consummate her admission into our Union,
and the admission of her members into our public
councs-every measure which affects the Oregon
queston-ou relations with Mexico-as we'll as
the final decision on the revived Zoll-Verein trea-
lty,-these, and other measures which are more or
less connected with our foreign relations, will come
under the review Of the approaching Congress-
Most of the eminenty important questions which
relate to our internal concernsthe revision of the
tarif-the adoption of the best mode for preserv-
ing the public moneys-a variety of commercial
neutrality-suspicious. the best system for regulating
the important interests of Texas-the Indian ques-
tions-the land questionable best system for our
navy,-theoe and others will constitute a of
business which is calculated to command much ef
the time of Congress, and much of the attention
of the people. They will all be reported by the
Congressional Union"
The Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly Union,
will, as usual, embrace ALI interesting variety of
matter political, scientific and literary Subjects
along with the current news of the day. The
editor will continue to devote all his energies to
the improvement of "The Union" He finds ma
ny accomplished men in this city. TIE admins
tration has brought with it considerable Access
sion of talents. Several tried and distinguished
members of the democratic party have accepted Of
flee under it. Some of them have literally contri-
buted their literary labors 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 his paper worthy of the metropolis of
the Union. He is persuaded that, with the facili-
tiles which his position enables him to employ !;
with the official and other materials placed within
T.: e.
which he is attempting to establish foreign coun-
tries, paper may be 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 sacrif-
ces to encounter. He knew that amid the ardoous
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 eff
feet, will be fully accomplished. Some errors he
may have already committed. But upon one point,
he can speak with great pleasure and with equal
freedom The men who are administering this
government are working men, anxious, as he be-
eves, to do their duty, to serve their country, to
carry out the pledges under which the President
was elected, and the great principles of the party.
I SO long as the administration is conducted in 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"
! We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt
manner in which political friends, in every
section of the country, have already come forward
to sustain the "Union." May we not hope tina.
our friends throughout the United States will con-
tinue to assist labors, and prevail upon their
friends to take some edition of the Onion? %

cuded to publish the CONGRESSIONAL UEIoN and
