"APPENDEX,o &c.


THE USDERsIG NED respectfully inform the pub
lie, :hat 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. 1t will be COM
piled with such care, that every citizen who is in
terestcd in the public affairs will find it complete
synopsis of their proceedings, and 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-
gressonal 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 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. Its
measures will stamp the character of our institu-
tons for years to come. Some of the most i'm
pOrtant questions which are connected with our
foreign relations, or domestic concerns, will be
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure of ratIfying the constitution of Texas, which
| Is to Consummate her admission into our Union,
and the admission of her members into our public
counclls-every measure which affects the Oregon
questlOn-our relations with Mexco-as we'll as
the final decision on the revived Zoll-V eren trea
ty,-these, and other measures which more or
less connected with foreign relations, will come
uo Of no
Most of the eminently important questions which
relate to our internal concerns-the revision of the
tarff-the adoption of the best mode for preserv-
ing the public moneys-a variety of commercial
measures-perhaps the best s. stem for regulating
the important interests of Texas-the Indian ques-
tlons-the land questionable 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 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 on POLITICAL scientinc, and literary sub ects
along with the current news of the day. The
editor will continue to devote all his energies to
the improvement of "'rhe 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 tt
call other talents to his assistance. His ambition
, is, to make his paper worthy of the metropolis O
the Union. He is persuaded that, with the taclIl
tiles which his position enables him to employ
with the official and other materials placed within
!. -, Iofth
which he is attempting to establish IN foreign coun
tries, paper may be published, which is not un
worthy of the support of his country. In unde.
taking the task he knew he had many dlfficultle:
to overcome, many lessons to learn, many sacrlfi
ces to encounter. He knew that, amid the arduou
cares of new theatre, he could not at first do jus
tice even to himself; but his zeal has never flag

he can speak with great pleasure and with eQua

section of the country, have already come FORWARD
u to sustain the 'Unior.' May we not hope tina
J. our friends throughout the United States will con
