PROS ECTUS
OF THE
"CONGRESsIONALU UNIONS,
AND
"APPENDN.1 sc.

Tic, mat, with the commencement of the approach
ing session OF Congress, they will begin the publ
cation OF the Congressional Union and ZAP
pendlx." The first will contain full and accu-
rate history of the daily proceedings of both BRAN
ches of the national legislature. It will be CON-
piled with such care, that every citizen who is ia
terested in the public affairs will find it complete
synopsis OF their proceedings, and a ready book of
reference upon all questions which come before
them.
The second (the "Appendix') will contain
every speech which is delivered in the House of
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 as 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 exaggeration, 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. It's
measures Will stamp the character of our instt,-
lions Tor years to come. Some of the most i'm
pOrtant questions which are connected with our
foreign relations, our domestic concerns will be
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure of ratltylng the constitution Of Texas, which
Is to cOnsummate her admission into our Union,
and the admission of her members into our public
1councs-every measure which affects the Oregon
queston-our relations with Mexco-as we'll as
the final decision on the revived Zoli-Verein trea-
Ity,-these, and other measures which are more or
less connected with our fore gn relations, will come
under the review of the approaching Congress-
Most Of the eminenty important questions which
raIa fO into Al
tarff-the adoption of the best mode for prescrv-
ing the public moneys-a variety of commercial
measures-pcrhaps the best system for regulating
the important interests of Texas-the Indian ques-
tIOns-thc land questionable best system for
navy,-theee 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-W eekly, and Weekly Union,
will as usual, embrace an interesting variety of
matter on political, scientinc, and literary subjects,
along with the current news OF the day. The
editor will continue to devote all his energies to
the improvement of "The Union" He finds ma
ny accomplished men in this city. Ike admins
tratlon has brought with it considerable Access
sion of talents Several tried and distinguished
members of the democratic party have accepted of
fee under it. Some OF them have literally contrl-
buted their literary labors 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 taclli-
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 I'M
worthy of the support Of bis country. In under
taking the task, he knew he had many difficulties
to overcome, many lessons to learn, many sacrlfi-
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
gcd. What enthusiasm and industry can never ct
} 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 who are administering this
Is government working men, anxious, as he be-
lieves to do their duty, to serve their country, tc
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 is prepared to
cooperate with them in the public service; and to
give them, he proposed III his prospectus, 'tar
LIBERAL and efficient support"
We feel deep sense Of gratitude for the promp
:, manner in which political friends, iii every
" section of the country have already come forward
to sustain the ''UnioE.'' May not hope tha
our friends throughout the United States will con
tinue to assist our labors, and prevail upon the
friends to take some edition of the "Union!"
~ As this will be the long session of Congress
and will probably last eight months, we have con
cIuded to publish the CONGRESSIONAL UEIoN ane
