PROSPECTUS OF THE "CON-
j GRESSlONAL UNION.' AND

.APpENprx,'' &c. The undersigned re.
spectfuly inform the public, that, with
the commencement of the approaching
session of Congress, they will begin
the publication of the "Congressional
Union" and "Appendix." The first
will contain full an accurate history
of the proceedings of both branches of
the national Legislature. 1t will be
compiled with such care that every
citizen who is Interested in the public
affairs will find it complete synopsis
Of their proceedings, and book Of ref
erence upon all questions which come
before them.
The second, C'the Appendix,'0 will
contain every speech which is deliver
ed in the House ofRepresentatIves and
Senate during the session, reported at
length by full and able corps of con-
gresslonal reporters, and revised before
publication by the authors, whenever
il is requested. These two works will
be strictly impartial, and are intended
to be as interesting and useful TO the
man of business. and TO the politician
of the one party, as of the other.
1t may be said, withoutexaggeration
that The next session of Congress is
destined To be one of the most import
AMI which has taken place since the
!cundation of the government. 1t is
The long session. 1t is the session
which will develope the general plan
OF the administration. Its measures
will stamp the character Of our insti-
tuiions for years TO come. Some OF
the most important questions which
are connected with our foreign reIa-
tions, or our domestic concerns, will

be presented for their consideration
The final measure Of rasitying the con
stitntion of Texas, which is to con
sammate her admission into our Union
and the admission of her members into
our pubic counciIs-every measure
which affects the Oregon question
our relations with Mexico well AS
the final decision on the revived Zoll
Verien treaty,-these and other meas
ures which are more or less connected
with our foreign relations, will come
under the review Of the approaching
Congress. Most Of the eminently inn
portant questions which relate to our
internal concerns the revision of the
tariff the adoption of the best mode
of preserving public moneys-a varie-
ty of commercial measures-perhaps
the best system for regulating the i'm
portant interests of Texas-the Indian
questions--the land questionable best
system for our navy,-these and 9th
ers 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 "Congres-
slonal Union."
The Daily, Semi-Weekly and Week

interesting variety of matter on polIti-
cal, scientific, and literary subjects,
along with the current news of the day.

The undersigned have invested Il
large amount @! capital in their present
undertaking. they have brought to its
support, whatever of taIent and enter

ces, they feel that they are privileged
TO ask for that support and TO look for
that confidence from the Democracy of
Ohio. without which all their labors
must be worse than performed in vain.
The undersigned propose making
some mechanical Improvements in the
