ted. These two works will be strictly impartial
and are intended TO be as interesting aud use
full to the man of business, and TO the politician
Of the one party, as Of the other.
Ii may be said, without cxaggeTa ton, thai
the next session OF Congress 10 destined to be
one of the most important which has tBkeN place
since the foundation of the government 1T is
the longest session. 1t is the session which will
develope the general an of the present. admin
istratiOn. Its measures will stamp the Charac-
ter of our institutions for years to come Some Of
the most important questions which are oOnnec-
concerns, will be presented for their cOnsdera-
ton. The 6nal measure OF ratifying the cunsti-
tuition Of Texas which is to cODsu ~ una te her ad.
mission into our Union, and the admission Of her
members into our public cOuncils-every meas.
ure which affects the Oregon questiOn-Our re.
latiOns with MexicO-as we'll as the final decis-
ion on the revived Zoll-Verein treaty these
and other measures which are more or less con-
nected with our foreign relations, will come un-
der the review Of the approaching Congress-
Most OF the eminently important questions hich
relate TO our internal cOncers-the revision of the
Tarif-the adoption of the best mode for pre-
serving the public moneys variety of CONNER
cial measures-perhNps the best system for regu.
lating the important interest Of TGxas-the In
dian questions-the land question--the hest sys-
TEN for our navy-these aud Others will consti-
tute mass Of business which is calculated TO
command much of the time of Congress, aud
much OF the attention of the people. They will
ali be FepOrttd by the " CongFessiOn UniOn.o
The Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly Un.
ion, will, as usual, embrace an interesting Vari-
ETY. Of matter political, seize .,ti6c and literary
subjects, along with the current news Of the day.
The editor will continue to devote all his ener
gles to the improvement of I" The Union" He
finds many accomplished men in this city. The
administration has brought with it cOnsidera-
tinguished members OF the democratic party have
received Ofi"e under it. Some Of them have
literally contributed their literary labors to our
benefit; and we hope to enlist others in Ou' SER
vice. Besides, the time is not far distant when
the editor intends TO call other talents to his as
sstance. His ambition is, to make his paper
worthy ef the metropolis Of the Union He is
persuaded that, with the facilities which his pO-
stion enables him to employ; with the official
and other materials placed in his reach; and
with the aid Of the correspondence which he is
attempting TO establish in foreign countries,
paper may be published, which is not unworthy
of the support of his country. In undertaking
the task, he knew he had many difficulties to |
overcome, many Lessons To learn, many sacri6 |
ces TO encounter. He knew that, amid the ar
duOus cares of new theatre, he could not at
first do justice even to himself; but his zeal has
never tagged. What enthusiasm and industry
can effect, will be fully accomplished Some
errors he may have already committed. But
upon one point, he can speak wirh great pleas
ure and with equal freedom. The men who are
administering this government are working men,
ANXIOUS, as he believes 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. So long as the admins
tFatOn is conducted in this spirit, and upon those
principles, he is prepared to cooperate with them
in the public service; aud to give them, as he
promised IN his prospectus, IS fair, liberal and
efficient support"
We feel deep sense of gratitude for the
prompt manner in which our political frieads.
IN every section of the country, have already
come forward TO sustain the " UnioD.1 Nav
we not hope that our friends throughout the Uni
ted States will continue to assist our labOrs and
prevail upon their friends to take some one edi-
ton of the " Union?"
OF As this will be the longest SESSION of Con-
gress, and will probably last eight months. we
have concluded TO publish the CoNGR EssloNAI.
