Representatives and Senate during the session, re-
ported at length by full and able corpse OF con-
gresslona 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 az Interesting and useful to the man
Of business, and to the politician of tAc par
ty as the other.
1t may be sald without eXaggeraton, 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 deveope the
general plan Of the present administrations Its
measures will stamp the character of our lnstu
lons for years to come Some of the most i'm
porant questions which are connected with our
foreign relations domestic concerns, will be
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure of ratfyIng the constitution Of Texas which
Is to cOnsumnlate her admission into our Union,
and the admission of her members into our public
icouncs-every measure which affects the Oregon
Qucston-Our relations with McXCO-as well as
the final decision on the revived LOllF ereln trea-
ty,-these, and other measures which are more Or
less connected with our foreign relations, viii come
under the review Of the approaching Congress-
: Most Of the cmlnently important questions which
relate to our internal concerns-the revision of the
tarit1-the adoption of the best mode for preserv
ing the public mOneys-a variety of commercial
measures perhaps the best system for regulating
the important interests of Tex as-the Indian ques
tons-the land questionable best system for our
navy-theee aud others will constitute 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
"Congressional Union
The Daily, Se1ni-W eekly, and Weekly Union,
will, as usual, embrace an interesting variety of
matter Oh POLITICAL scientinc, and literary subjects,
along with the current news of the day. The
editor will continue devote all his energies to
>, the improvement of The Unol.' He finds
ny accomplished in this city. TIE admins
tralion has brought with it considerable acces-
sion of talents Several tried and distinguished
members Of the democratic party have accept d Of
flee under it. Some of them have Literally contri-
buted their literary IaEors 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 tacII-
- tiles which his position enables him to employ :;
with the official and other materials placed within
his reach AID with the aid Of the correspondence
which he is attempting to establish IN foreign coun-
~ tries, paper may be published, which Is not TN
worthy Of the support Of his country In under
T. taking the task he knew he had many difficulties
20 lp,lrp
ces to encounter. He knew that amid the ardaouS
cares of new ihcate, ne could not at first do JUS
tice even to himself; but his zeal las never flag
! grd. What enthusiasm and Industry can never Ell
. 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
us government working men, anxious, as ne be-
eves to do their duty, to serve their country, tt
carry out the pledges under which the Preslden
. was elected and the great principles of the party
So long as the administration is conducted IN th
spirit and upon those principles he is prepared t.
cooperate with them III the public service; and t.
give them, as he proposed IN his prospectus, "talr
liberal, and efficient support"
+ We feel a deep sense CT gratitude for the promp
- manner in which political friends, IN ever,
section Of the country, have already come torwar
- to sustain the ''UnoE.' May we not hope tina
- our friends throughout the United States will con
tinue to assist our Iabors and prevail upon thel
friends to take some edition of the Union :!
