more or less connected with our foreign rea;oo.

these and others will constitute mass of busin,,,

| Time to devote all his energies to the improyems
| of sThc Union" He finds many accompishd
men in this city. The administration has broueh
with it considerable accession of talents Sever
tried and distinguished members of the democub
party have accepted Office under it. Some Of them
have literally contributed their literary labos 10 our
benefit; and we hope to enlist others in our service
Besides, the time is not far distant when the edior
tends to call other talents to his assistance Hsam
biton is to make his paper worthy Of the meropoI,
ofthe Union. He is persuaded that, with the facilities
which his position enables him to employ; with ma
official and other materials placed within his reach
and with the aid of the correspondence which he i
attempting to establish in foreign countries pape
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 sacrifices to encounter. H,
knew that, amid the arduous cares Of new theatre,
he could not at first do justice even to himself but
his zeal has never tagged. What enthusiasm md
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 freedom The men who are admin
istering this government are working-men, snxiou.
as he believes to do their duty, to their coub
| try, to carry out the pledges under which the Pres
dent elected, and the great principles Of the par
| ty. So long as the administration is conducted ii
this spirit, and upon those principles he is prepared
| to cooperate with them in the public service; mi
to give them, as he promised in his prospectus, q
| fair, liberal, and efficient support"
| We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt
manner in which our political friends in every Nc
ton Of the country have already come forvads
sustain the 'tUnioni'
May we not hope that our friends Throughout ib
United States will continue to assist our labor, and
prevail upon their friends to take some one edition
Of the "Union."
