TINE undersigned respectfully inform tbs public,
Il 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

works will be strictly impartial and are intended 10
be as interesting and useful TO the man of business,
and TO the politician of the one party, as OF the
other.
II may be said, without exaggeration that the next
session Of Congress is destined to be of the most
important which has taken place since the founda-
ton of the government. II is the long session. IL
is the session which will develop the plan of the
present administration Its measures will stamp
the character of our 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 rahfyng the constitution of
Texas, which is TO consummate her admission into
our Union, and the admission of her members into
our public councs--every measure which affects
the Oregon queston--our relations with Mexico
as well as the final decision on the revived Zoll-Ve-
rein treaty these and other measures which
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 our internal concerns-the revision
of the tari-the adoption of the Lest mode for pre-
serving the public moneys-a variety of Monumental
MISUNDERSTANDING 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 "CoDgression-
al Union"
The Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly Union,
WILL usual, embrace interesting variety OF mat
ter POLITICAL scientific and literary subjects, along
with current news OF the day. The editor will con-
time 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 labo to
benefit and hope to enlist others in our service.
Besides the time is not far distant when the editor IN
tends to call other talents to his assistance His am
bition is, 10 make his paper worthy OF the metropolis
ofthe Union. He is persuaded that, with the facilities
which his position enables him to employ; with the
and with the aid of the correspondence which he 10
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 secri6ces TO encounter. he
knew that, amid the arduous of new theatre,
he could not at first do justice even 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 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 to serve their coun-
try carry out the pledges under which the Presi-
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 lis prospectus, "a
fair, liberal, and efficient support"
We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt
manner in which political friends in every sec
ton of the country have already conc forward TO-
sustain the "Unioni"
| May we not hope that our friends throughout tho
United States will continue to assist our abors and
prevail upon their friends to take some edition
| Of the "Union." WA
