tended to be as Interesting and useful to the man

It may be said, without exaggeration, that the
next session of Congress IS destined to lJe one OF
the most important which has taken place sincel
the foundation of the government. 1t is the long
session 1t is the session which will deveope the
general plan of the present administration. It's
measures will stamp the character of our instltu-
tons for years to come. Some of the most i'm
pOrtant questions which 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 consummate her admission into our Union,
and the admission Of her members into our public
councils-eyery measure which affects the Oregon
qIlestion-o our relations with Mexico-as we'll as
the final decision on the revived Zoll- Verein trea
Ity,-these, andether measures which more@okI
less connected with foreign relations will come
under the review Of the approaching Congress-
Most of the emlnenty important questions which
relate to internal concerns-the revision OF the
tarf-the adoption of the best mode for preserv-
ing the public moneys-a variety Of commercial
mcasures-perhaps the best system for regulating
the important interests of'Pexas-the Indian ques-
tions-the land questionable best system for our
navy, these and others will constitute a 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 political, scientific 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. TIE admins
traton has brought with it a considerable acces-
sion of talents. Several tried and distinguished
members of the democratic party have accepted Of
flee under it. Some OF them have literally contri
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 facili-
tiles which his position enables him to employ :;
with the official and other materials placed within
his reach and with tie aid of the correspondence
which he is attempting to establish in foreign
tries, paper may be published, which IS not I'M
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 sacrf-
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 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-
eVes, to do their duty, to their country, 10
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, as he proposed in his prospectus, "air,
liberal, and efficient support"
We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt
manner in which political friends, in every
section IF the country, have already come forward
to sustain the ''Union.'' May we not hope tina,
our friends throughout the United States will con-
tinue to assist our abors, and prevail upon their
friends to take some edition of the "Union?''
