The UNpERsIGEBD respectfully inform the pub
lic :hat with the commencement of the approach
ing session Of Congress, they win begin the publ
cation of the Congressional Union and sap
pendtx' The first will contain full and aceu-
rate history of the daily proceedings Of both bran
ches of the national legislature. It will be COM
piled with such care, that every citizen who is in
terested In the public affairs will find it complete
synopsis of their proceedings, and ready book OF
reference upon all questions which come before
them. 80
The second, 1.-THE 'sAppendix,") will contain
every speech which is delivered in the House OF
Representatives and Senate during the session. re-
ported at length by a full and able corpse of con-
gressional 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 one 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 deveope the
general plan of the present administration. Its
measures will stamp the character of our instltu-
tons for years to come. Some of the most i'm
foreign relations, or our domestic concerns, will be
presented for their consideration. The final mea-
sure of ratlfying the constitution of Texas, which
is TO consummate her admission into our Union,
and the admission of her members into our public
| counciIs-every measure which affects the Oregon
question-our relations with Mexico-as we'll as
the final decision on the revived Zoll- Veren trea-
ty,-these and other measures which are more or
less connected with our foreign relations will come
under the review of the approaching Congress-
Most of the emlnentiy important questions which
relate to our internal concerns-the revision of the
tarif-the adoption of the best mode for preserv-
ing the public moneys-a variety of commercial
measures-perhaps the best system for regulating
the important interests of Texas-the Indian ques-
tions-the land questionable best system for our
navy,-theee 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 WeekIy, and Weekly Union,
will, as usual. embrace interesting variety OF
matter POLITICAL scientnc, and literary subjects
along with the current news OF the day. The
editor will continue to devote all his energies t.
the improvement of "The Union" He finds ma
ny accomplished men in this city. TEe admins
tration 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 contr
buted their literary labors to benefit; and We
hope to enlist Others in service. Besides, the
time is not far distant when the editor intends tc
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 faclli
!, tiles 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 III foreign coun
>, tries paper may be published, which is not IN
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 sacrlfi
ces to encounter. He knew that, amid the arduou
cares of theatre, he could not at first do jus
tce even to himself; but his zeal has never flag
ged. What enthusiasm and industry can never et
feet, will be fully accomplished. Some errors ht
may have already committed. But upon one point
he can speak with great pleasure and with equa
freedom The men who are administering thi
government working men, anxious, as he be
eves, to do their duty, to their country, tt
carry cut the pledges under which the Presiden
was elected, and the great principles of the party
So long as the administration is conducted in thi
spirit and upon those principles he is prepared tt
cooperate with them in the public service; and t.
give them, he proposed in his prospectus "fair
liberal, and efficient support.
We feel deep sense of gratitude for the premp
+ manner in which our political friends in ever,
section of the country, have already come forward
to sustain the ''Unior.> May we not hope tina
our friends throughout the United States will con
f tinue to assist our abors and prevail upon thei
friends to take some edition of the "Union z"
