OF THE

CONGRESSIONAL UNION AND APPENDIX.
 &c. Sc,
 VII Il E undersigned respectfully inform the public, Il tha5, Wlth the approaching session of Congress, they will begin the publications tf the sCongression- al Union and s'Appendixa The first will contain ull and accurate history of the daily proceedings ot both branches of the ndiona legislature It will be compiled with such ca'e that every citizen who IS interested Tn the public lifairs will find it com Pete synopsis of their proceedings, and a ready DOCK oi reference upon al questions which come before them.
 The second, (the sAppe1dix,'' ,'') will contain eve " speech which is delivered in the House of Rep resentatlyes and Senate during the session, report ca at length by full and able corps of congresson- al reporters and revised bsfore publication by the authors, whenever 1t is requested These two works Will be stncty 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.
 It may be said, without exaggeration, that the next session of Congress is destined to become one oi the most important which has taken place since the foundation of the government. It is the long session. It Is the session which will develope 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 or our domestic concerns will be presented for their consideration. The final measure of ratiiying the constitution of Texas, which is to consummatc her i members Into our public counclls-every measure which affects the Oregon queston-our relations With MeXlco-as we'll as the final decision on the -NefeIn tfedty,-these and other measures which are more or less connected with our foreign rela- tons, will come under the review of the approach Ing Congress Most of the eminenty important questions which relate to internal concerns the revision of the tari-the adoption of the best mode for preserving the public moneys-a variety oi commercial measares-perhaps 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 at tention 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 i'm provement of s'The Union.'' He finds many ac- complished men of this city. The administration has brought whit considerable accession oftalens. Several tried and distinguished members of the de- mocrauc party have accepted office underit Some of them have berally contributed their literary la bors 10 our benefit and we 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 ot the correspondence which he IS attempting to establish Tn foreign countries, paper may be pub Iished, which is not unworthy oi the support of his country. In undertaking the task, he knew he had many difficulties to overcome, many lessons to learn, many sacrifices 10 encounter. He knew that, amid the ardous cares of a 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- yernment are working men, anxious, as he be- lieves to do their duty, to servc their country, to carry out the pledges under which the President 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 he promised in his prospectus, Ca 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 ssUnion.'
 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 s'Union."
