A udt, Wlth Jne approaching session of Congress they begin the publication of the esCoporession al Union'' and "Appendix." The first wifi contair a iull and accurate history of the daily proceedings or bo'h branches ot the national legislature It vii be compiled with such care, that every citizen who IS interested in the public affairs will find it com piete synopsis of their proceedings, and ready book oi reference upon all questions which como before them.

Y speech which is delivered in the House oi Rep. resentatiVes and Senate during the session. report ed at length by full and able corps Of feengression- al reporters, and revised before publication by the authors, whenever if is requested. TSse two works Will be strictly impartial, and intended to be as interesting and useful to the man of business, and to the politician oi the eae party, as ol the ether.
 1t may be said, without eXaggeration, that the next session of Congress is destined to become one ot the most important which has taken place since i the foundation of the government. It IS tie long session. It is the session which will dsyelope the plan of the present administration. Its measures will stamp the character oi our institutions fer year. to come. Some of tIe most inuortaat t,uestions which are connected with our foreign reatioas or our domestic concerns, will be presented for theif 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 our public counclIs-every measure which affects the Oregon questioa-our relations i Altu hGAICO--dS well dS the Illd UcClSlpn on the ZoIl-Ferein treaty. these and ethermeasures which are more or less connected with our foreign rela- tonS, will come under the review o the approach 1 ing Congress. Most of the eminentY important questions which relate to our internal concerns the revision Of the tanii-he adoption of the best mode for preserving the public moneys-a variety ol commercial perhaps the best system for onr 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 teation Of the people They will ali be reported by the ',Gongressional 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 10 the i'm proyement of sFhe Union." He finds many ac- compIished men of this city. The administration Las brought Wijhta considerable accession ottaeGts. Several tried and distinguished members of the de- mocratic party have accepted office under it. Some of them have iiboraly contributed ther literary Ia. bers to our benefit; and we hope 10 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 ~or tiny ot the metropolis of the Union. He is persua- ded that, with the facilities which lis position enables him to employ; with the official and other materials placed within his raach and with the aid of the correspondence which te is attempting to establish Tn t9regn countries, paper may be pub lished. which is not unworthy of tie support Of his country. In undertaking the task. he knew he had many difficulties 10 overcome, many lessons to learn, many sacrifices te encounter. He knew that, amid the arIous cares of ncw theatre, he could not tt first do justice even to himself but his zeal has never Jagged. What enthusiasm and industry caa eaect will be fully accomplished Some errors he may nave already committed. but ss4aH eaa PaEt, ne can speak With great pleasure and with equal freedom The men who dre administering this ge- vernmeut are working men, anxious, as he be- ieYes, 10 do their duty, to serve eif country, to carry out the pledges under which the President was elected, and he great principles oi the party. So long as the administration is conducted n this spirit and upon those Panciple5. he IS prepared 10 co-oPerate with thcm in the public serFiees; and to give them, he promised in his prospectus, 'sa fair liberal, and efficient support.
 We feel deep sense of gratitude for the prompt manner in which our political friends ia every sec ton of the country have already come forward to sustain the 'sUnion"
 May we not hope that our friends throughout the United States will continue to assist our abors ard preyailupop their friends to take some one edition of the ''Union."
