TIME undersigned respectfully inform the public,
j. that, with the approaching session OF Congress,
they will begin the publication Of the "Congression-
al Union" and appendix The first will contain
full and accurate history Of the daily proceedings
of both branches of the national legislature. IL will

The second, (the "Appendix, ~ will contain eve
ry speech which is delivered in the House of Rep
resentatives and Senate during the session, report
ed at length by full and able corps of congresson-
al reporters, and revised before publication by the
authors, whenever il B requested. These two
works will be strictly impartial, and are intended to
be interesting and useful to the man Of business,
and to the politician of the one party, as of tho
| other.
IL may be said, without exaggeation, that the next
session Of Congress is destined be of the most
| important which has taken place since tho founda-
tion OF The government. II is the long session. Il
is the session which will develop the plan of tho
| present administration. Its measures will stamp
the character ofour institutions for years to come
Some OF the most important questions which arc
connected with foreign relations or our domestic
concerns, will be presented for their consideration
The hnai measure Of ratifying the constitution Of
Texas, which is to consummate her admission into
our Union, and the admission Of her members into
our public councils--cvery measure which affects
| the Oregon question-our relations with Mexico
as well the final decision on the revived Zoll-Ve-
rein treaty these and other measures which are
| more or less connected with our foreign relations,
will come under the review of the approaching Con-
gress Most Of the eminently important questions
which relate TO internal concerns-the revision
of the tarifthe adoption Of the best mode for pre-
serving the public moneys-a variety Of commercial
| Observation-Disclosures the best system for our navy
fhPaea thpra of I'm
which is calculated to command much of the time
of Congress- and much of the attention of the peo-
pie They will all be reported by the "congression-
| al Union"
The Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly Union,
will, as usual, embrace an interesting variety Of mat
political, scientific, and literary subjects, along
with current news of the day. The editor will con
tinue to devote all his energies to the improvement
of "Thc Union" He finds many accomplished
men in this city. The administration has brought
with it considerable accession Of talents Several
tried and distinguished members Of the democratic
party have accepted Office under it. Some of them
have literally contributed their literary abors to
benefit; and hope to enlist others in service.
Besides the time is not far distant when the editor in
tends call other talents to his assistance. His
biton is, to make his paper worthy of the metropolis
Of the Union. He is persuaded that with the facilities
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
may be published, which is not unworthy of the
support of his country. In undertaking the task,
he knew he had many difficulties to overcome, many
lessons to learn, many sacrifices to encounter. He
knew that, amid the arduous cares of theatre,
he could not at first do justice to himself; but
his zeal has never tagged. What enthusiasm and
industry can effect, 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 admin
stering this government working-men, anxious,
as he believes, do their duty, their coun-
try, carry out the pledges under which the Prcsi-
dent elected and the great principles of the par
ty 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 promised in his prospectus, "a
fair, liberal, and efficient support" M
We feel a deep sense Of gratitude for the prompt
manner in which our political friends in every sec
ton Of the country have already come forward 10
sustain the "Unoni"
j May we not hope that our friends throughout the
United States will continue TO assist our labors, and
prevail upon their friends to take edition
of the "Union."
