 Sc. &c
 EEHHE undersigned respectfully inform tbe npb,;c R that, with the approaching session of Conuress' they will begin the publication of the sCongression- al Union" and "Appendix The first viii contain full and accurate history of the daily proceedings ot both branches Of the national legislature t will De compiled with such care, thai every citizen who IS interested in the public affairs will find it com l plete synopsis ot their proceedings, and a ready before them.
 The second, (the 'sAppendix,' '0 will contain eve " speech which is delivered in the House of Rep- resentatiVes and Senate during the session. report cd at length by full and able corps of fconeression- al reporters and revised before publication by the authors, whenever 1t requested These two works will be strictly impartial, and are intended to be as interesting and useful to the man of business and 10 the politician Of the one party of the other. It may be said, without exaggeration, that the next session of Congress is destined to become one of the most important which has taken place since the foundation of the government. It is the long session. It IS the session which will deveope the l plan of the present administration. Its measures Will stamp the character of institutions for years to come. Some of the most important questions which are connected with our foreign relations or our domestic concerns, will be presented for their consideration. The final measure of ratifying the constitution ot Texas, which is 10 consummate her admission into our Union, and the admission of her members into our public counclls-every measure which affects the Oregon queston-our relations with MeXico-as well as the final decision on the Zoll- -Verein treaty, and other measures which are more or less connected with foreign rela- tions will come under the review of the approach ing Congress. Most of the eminentlY important questions which relate to cur internal concerns the revision of the tarH-the adoption of the best mode for preserving the public moneys-a variety of commercial measures-perhaps the best system for our navy,-these and others will constitute a mass of business which is calculated to command much of the time of Congress, and much of the at tenton of the people. They will all be reported by the s'Congressional union.''
 The Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly Union, will, as usual, embrace an interesting variety of matter on political scientific, and literary subjects along with current news of the day The editor will continue to devote all his energies to the im- provement of s'rhe Union." He finds many complshed men of this city. The administration has brought wthit considerable accessiono talents Several tried and distinguished members of the de- mocratic party have accepted office under it. Some of them have berally contributed their literary la. bors to our benefit and hope to enlist others in our service. Besides, the time is not far distant when the editor intends to call other talents to his assistance. His ambition is, to make his paper wor- thy of the metropolis of the Union. He is persua- ded 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 pub iished, 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 ardous cares of new theatre, he could not at first do justice even to himself; but his zeal has never Jagged. 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 administering this go- vernment are working men, anxious, as he be- lleVes to do their duty, to their country, to carry out the pledges under which the President was elected and the great principles of the party So long as the administration is conducted in this spirit and upon those principles, he is prepared to cooperate with them in the public services and to give them, as he promised in his prospectus, S'a fair, liberal, and efficient support"
 We feel a deep sense of gratitude for the prompt manner in which our political friends in n.cyery sec ton of the country have already come forward to sustain the s'Union.''
 May we not hope that our friends throughout the United States will continue to assist our labors, and prevail upon their friends to take some one edition of the .'Union.''
