PROSPECTUS
or THE
UNION AND APPENDIX,

CONGRESSIONAL UNlON AND APPENDiA,
&c &c.
TIME undersigned respectfully inform the public,
i that, with the approaching session of Congress,
they will begin the publication of the "Congression-
al Union" and "Appendix." The first win contain
full and accurate history of the daily proceedings
of both branches of the national Legislature, twill
be compiled with such care, that every citizen who
is interested in the public affairs will find it COM
plete synopsis of their proceedings, and a ready
book Of reference upon all questions which come
before them.
The second, (the "Appendix, y 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. 1T is requested. These two
works will be strictly impartial, and are intended TO
be interesting and useful to the Of business
and to the politician of the one party, as Of the
other.
II may be said, without cxaggcraton, that the next
session Of Congress is destined to boone of the most
important which has taken place since the founda
ton Of the government. II is the long session Ii
is the session which will develop the plan Of the
present administration. Its measures will stamp
the character ofour institutions for years to come
Some of the most important questions which are
connected with our foreign relations our domestic
concerns, will be presented for their consideration
The final 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--every measure which affects
the Oregon question--our relations with Mexico
as well as the final decision 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 eninently important questions
which relate to our internal conccrns-the revision
of the tar-the adoption Of the best mode for pre-.
serving the public moncys--a variety Of commercial
measures--perhaps the 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 peo
pie. They will all be reported by the "Congrcsson-
al Union"
The Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly Union,
will, usual embrace interesting variety of mat.
ter on POLITICAL scientific and literary subjects along
with current Of the day. The editor will con-
time to devote all his energies to the improvement
of sThc Union.n He finds many accomplished
men in this city. The administration has brought
with il considerable accession Of talents. Several
tried and distinguished members of the democratic
party have accepted Office under il. Some of them
have literally contributed their literary abors to
benefit and we hope to enlist others in our service
Besides, the time far distant when the editor in
tends to call other talents to his assistance. His am
boi is to make his paper worthy of the metropolis
of the Union. He 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
attempting to establish in foreign countries, paper
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 new 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
istering this government are workng-men, anxious,
he believes, to do their duty, to their coun
try, carry the pledges under which the Presi-
dent was 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, ga
fair, liberal, and efficient support"
We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt
manner in which political friends in every sec
zion Of the country have already come forward to
sustain the "Unioni"
May we not hope that our friends throughout the
United States will continue to assist labors and
prevail upon their friends to take some one edition
of the aUnion."
