The second, (the "Appendix," viii contain
every spcecA which is delivered in the House Of
Representatives and Senate during the session, re-
ported at length by full and able corpse Of con-
gressiona 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 interesting and useful to the man
of business, and to the politician of the one par
ty as the other.
II 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 develope the
general plan of the present administration. Its
measures will stamp the character of our instltu-
tions for years to come. Some of the most inn
portant questions which are connected with our
foreign relations or our domestic concerns will be
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure of ratIfylng the constitution Of Texas, which
is TO consummate her admission into our Union,
and the admission of her members into public
counciIs-every measure which affects the Oregon
question our relations with Mexico-as well as
the final decision on the revived Zo-Verein trea-
ty,--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 e1ninently important questions which
| IN no oft hp
tarif-the, adoption of the best mode for preserv-
! ing the public moneys variety of commercial
measures-pcrhaps the best system for regulating
the important interests of Texas--the Indian ques
| tions-the land questionable best system for our
navy,-these 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
Congressional Union"
| The Daily. Semi Weekly and Weekly Union,
will, as usual embrace all interesting variety of
matter on POLITICAL scieutic, and literary subjects
along with the current news of the day. The
editor will continue to devote all his energies to
the improvement of 1.-The Union" He finds ma
ny accomplished men in this city. TIE admins
traton has brought with it considerable acces-
sion of talents Several tried and distinguished
members of the democratic party have accepted Of
fee under it. Some of them have literally contri-
buted their literary labors to our benefit; and we
hope 20 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
his reach and with the aid of the correspondence
which he is attempting to establish IN foreign coun-
tries paper may be published, which is not UNI
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 sacriG-
ces TO encounter. He knew that, amid the arduous
cares of new theatre, he could not at first do JUS
tice 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-
lieves to do their duty, to their country, to
carry out the pledges under which the President
was elected and the great principles of the party.
So long as the administration is conducted in this
spirit, and upon those principles, he isprepared to
cooperate with them in the public service; and to
give them, he proposed in his prospectus, "fair
, liberal, and efficient support"
we leel ueep SeNS6 OF gratitude LOT Tie pISInp'
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.
tnue to assist our labors, and prevail upon theil
friends to take some edition Of the "Union Z"
