The first wifi contain full and accurate history of the daily proceedings Of both branches of the national legislature It viii be compiled with such care, that every citizen who is interested in the public affairs will find it com pIete synopsis of their proceedings, ani ready book of reference upon all questions which come b,lore them.

 It may be said, without eXargeration, that the next session oi Congress is destined to become one of the most important which has taken place since the foundation oi the government IL IS the long session. It is the session which will deyeope the plan of the present administration It's measures will stamp the character o our institutions for years to come. Soma of the most important questions which are connected with foreign realions or our domestic concerns, will be presented for their consideration. The final measure of ratilying the | constitution of Texas which is to conSummate her admission into our Union, and the admission of her | members into public counclls-every measure l which affects the Oregon queshon-our relations l with MeXico-as we'll as the final decision on the Zoll- Veren traaty,-these and oth measures which are more or less connected with our foreign rea- tons, will come undnr the review oi the approach l ing Congress. Most of the eminently important questions which relate 10 our internal concerns 1 the revision of the taai-the adoption of the best mode for preserving the public moneys-a variety of commercial measures perhaps the best system l for our navy,-thes2 and others will constitute mass of business which is calculated to command much of the time of Congress, and much oi the at tenton of the people. They will all be reported by the 'Congresslonal unon."
 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 oi the day. Ihe editor will continue to devote all his energies to the l.n l provement of .srhe Unon." He finds many ac- l complished men of this city. The administration has brought wfh considerable aceesSiono oi 'aIentS Several tried and distinguished members oi the de- nocratic party have accepted office underlt Some of them have literally contributed thelr literary Ia bors to benefit; and we hope to enlist others Ill onr service Besides, the time Is not lar distant when the editor intends to call other talents to hls assistance. His ambition Is, to make ms paper Wof- 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 lie Is attempting to establish in foreign countries, paper may be pup lished, which is not unworthy oi the support ol ms country. In undertaking the task he kne" ne had many difficulties to overcome, many lessons 10 iearl many sacrifices to encounter. He knew that, ainid the ardous cares of new theatre, he could not al first do justice even to himself, but his zeal mas 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 administering this go- vernment working men, anxious, as ne oe- lieves, to do their duty to serve their country 10 carry out the pledges under which the President was elected, and the great principles ot the party. So long as the administration is conducted Tn 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 "a fair, liberal, and efficient support"
 We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt manner in which our political friends in every sec ton of the country have already come forward to sustain the ''union."
 May We not hope that our friends throughout the United States will continue to assist labofs and prevail upon their friends to take some one edition of the ..Union.'
