Representatives and Senate during the session, re-

tended to be 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 exaggeratlon, 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 deveIope the
general plan of the present administration. Its
measures will stamp the character Of our nstitu-
| tons for years to come. Some of the most i'm
portant questions which connected with
foreign relations, or our domestic concerns will be
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure of ratlfying the constitution Of Texas, which
is to consummate her admission into Union,
and the admission of her members into public
councs-every measure which affects the Oregon
question our relations with Mexco-as well
the final decision the revived Zoll-V erein trea-
Itv,-these and other measures which are more or
less connected with tore gin relations, will come
under the review of the approaching Congress-
Most of the cminently important questions which
relate T. our internal concerns-the revision Of the
}tariff-the adoption of the best mode for preserv
ing the public nOncys-a variety of commercial
measures perhaps the best system for regulating
the important interests Of Tcxas-the Indian ques-
iti0ns-the land qucstiOn-tAe best system for our
navy,-thcse and others will constitute mass OF
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
I''COngresslOnal Union"
The Daily, Sem-W eekly, and Weekly Union,
will as usual, embrace interesting variety of
matter political, scientlnc, and literary subjects,
along with the current news of the day. The
editor will continue to devote ali his energies t.
the Improvement of The Unon' He finds ma
ny accomplished men in this city. Tie admins
Itraon has brought with it a considerable acceE-
sion of talents. Several tried and distinguished
members of the democratic party have accept d Of
flee under it. Some of them have literally contrl-
but2d their literary Iabors to our benefit; and we
hope to enlist Others IN our service Tie
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 fac
tiles 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 he is attempting to establish IN foreign coun
- tries. paper may he published, which is not un
worthy of the support of his country In under
. taking the task, he knew he had many dltficutle:
to overcome many lessons to learn, many satfifi
ces to encounter. He knew that amid the arduou
cares of new theatre he could not at first do JUS
tice even to himself; but his zeal I.as never flag
ged What enthusiasm and Industry can never eff
} feet, will be fully accomplished. Some errors h'
NAV have already committed. But upon one point
he can speak with great pleasure and with equa
Freedom The men who are administering TIL

lieves to do their duty 10 serve their country, t
carry out the pledges under which the Prcsldcn

so long as the administration is conducted Ill thu

cooperate with them in the public service: and
give them, as he proposed in his prospectus, tal
