1t may be said, without exaggeTation, that
the next session OF Congress is destined TO be
one Of the most Important which has tskeu place
since the foundation Of the government 1t is
the longest session 1t is the session which will

lem for our navy these aud Others will consti-

The Daily, Semi Weekly and Weekly I'm
ion, will, as usual, embrace an interesting vari.
ETY. Ofmatter on political, Sciehtifc and literary
suhjects, along with the current news Of the day
The editor will continue to devote all his eneF
gies 10 the Improvement Of s. The UniOnn He
finds manV accomplished men in this city. The
administration has brought with il eOnsidera-
BILE accession of talents. Several tried aud dis.
,inguished members OF the democratic party have
received oEice under it. Some of them have
Literally contributed their literary labors to our
benefit; and we hope to enlist others in Our SER
vice. Besides, the time is not far distant when
the editor intends to cali other talents to his az.
sietancs. His ambition is, to make his paper
worthy eff the metropolis of the Union lie is
persuaded that, with the facilities which his pO-
siliOn enables him to employ; with the official
and other materials placed in his reach; ; and
with the aid Of the correspondence which he is
attempting 10 establish in foreign countries, a
paper may he published, which is not unworthy
of The support Of his country. Ia undertaking
the task, he knew he had many difficulties to
overcome, many lessons to learn, many sacFif
Gee TO encounter. He knew that, amid the ar
duOuS cares Of new theatre, he could not ut
iTst do Justice even to himself; but his zeal has
never Jagged What enthusiasm and industry
can effect, ill be fully accomplished. Some
errors he may have already committed But
upon one point, he can speak Wirh great pleas
ure and with equal freedom. The men who are
administering this government are working men,
anxious, as he believes, TO do their daty t. serve
their country, TO carry out the pledges under
which the President was elected, and the great
principles Of tho party. So long as the admins
ratiOn is conducted in this spirit, and upOn those
principles, he Is prepared to Operate with them
in the public service; and to give them, as be
promised in his prospectus, ga fair, liberal aud
efficient support
We feel deep sense Of gratitude for the
prompt manner in which our political lrieAds
in every section of the country, have already
come forward to sustain the " Uaion." MAY
we not hope that our friends throughout the Uni
ted States will continue to assist our labors, md
prevail upon their friends to take some one edi,
ton of the - UnOn!''
