OF THE

'1E undeTslgned respectfully inform the public, d that, with the approaching session of Congress, they will begin the publication of the Congression- al Union" and ''Appendx." The first will contain full and accurate history of the daily proceedings of both branches of the national legislature It will be compiled with such care that every citizen who IS interested in the public affairs will find it com plete synopsis of their proceedings, and ready book ot reference upon all questions which come before them.
 The second, (the "Appendix, ''} wlleontain eve ry speech which is delivered in the House of Rep Fesentatlves and Senate during the session, report ed at length by full and able corps ofcongression- al reporters, and revised before publication by the authors, whenever il is requested. These two works will be strictly impartial, and intended to be as interesting and useful to the man of business, and to the politician of the enc party, as of the other.
 1t may be said, without eXaggeraton, 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 deVelope the plan of the present administration. It's measures will stamp the character of our institutions for years to come. Some of the most important questions which are connected with foreign relations, or our domestic concerns, will be presented for their consideration. The final measure of ratiiying the constitution of Texas, which Is to consummGte her admission into our Union, and the admission cf her members into our public councils-eVery measure which affects the Oregon quesuon-our relations with Mexico-as well as the final decision on the Zoll Verein tfeaty-thesc and other measures which are more or less connected with cur Iofel5a rela lions, will come under the revew of the aPPfeach- ing Congress. Most of the emiReHtiy important questions which relate to eur internal concerns the revision of the tarlli-he adoption ot the best mode for preserving the public moneys-a variety ol commercial measares-perhaps the best system for our navy,-these and others will constitute al I..- trl3+, fN aF,f much of the time of Congress, and much ol the at tenton of the people,. They will all be reported by the "Cengrassional Uni9n
 The Daiiv Seni-Heeky, and Weekly 0nion will, as usual, embrace an interesting variety ot matter on political scientific, and literary subjects, along with current news oi the day. The editor will continue 10 devote all his energies to the iln proYement of eTha Unon." lie finds many ac- conpished men of this city. The administration has brought whit considerable accession oftalents Several tried and distinguished members oi the de- lnocrac party have accepted office underlt, Some of them have baraiiy contributed their literary la bors b our benefit and we hope to enlist others Tn our service. &esides, the time IS not tar distant when the editor intends to cali other talents to hls assistance. His ambition is to make his pefwoE- thy of the metropolis of the Union. He Is peTsaa- 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 ad of the correspondence which he Is attempting to establish in foreign countries, paper may be pab- lished, which is not unworthy ol the support ot his country In undertaking the task, he knew ne had many difficulties to overcome many lessons to learn, many sacrifices to encounter. He knew that, ainid the ardous cares Of new theatre, he could not al first do justice even to hmseiE but his zeal has never Jagged. N hat enthusiasm and industry can effect, will be fully accomplished. Some errors he may have already committed. But upon one poIat, he can speak with great pleasure and with equal freedom. The men who are administering thls go- vernment are working men, anxious, as he be- lieves to do their duty to serve their country, to carry out the pledges under which the President elected, and the great principles oI the party So long as the administration IS conducted in thls spirit and upon those principles, he s 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 tie ''Union.
 May we not hope that our friends throughout the United States will continue to assist our iabors and prevail upon their friends to take some one edition of the "Unfol.'
