CONGRLSolONAL UNION AND APPENDIX Sc. &c.,

 l FE fHE undersigned respectfully inform the public

 A that, with the approaching session of Conpress' they will begin the publication of the Cohgression | al Union" and s'AppendiX." The first will contain full and accurate history of the daily proceedings oi both branches ot the national legislature It will be compiled with such care, that every citizen who IS Interested Tn the public affairs will find it a com plete synopsis of their proceedings, and a ready book ot reference upon all questions which come before them.

 The second, (the "Appendix,'' '') will contain eve " speech which IS delivered in the House of Rep resentatives and Senate during the session. report ed at length by fu and able corps ofcongression- al reporters, and revised before publication y the authors, whenever ii is requested These two works wlli be strictly impartial and are intended to be as interesting and useful to the man of business, and to the politician of the party, as of the other.

 It may be said, without exaggeration, that the next session ot Congress is destined to become 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 deyelope the plan of the present administration Its measures will stamp the character of 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 ratifying the constitution of Texas which is to consumlnate her admission into our Union, and the admission of her members into our public counclls-every measure winch affects the Oregon question-our relations with MeXico-as well as the final decision on the ZollV eren treaty,-these and other measures which are more or less connected with our foreign rea- tions, will come under the revlew of the approach ing Congress. Most of the eminenty important questions which relate to our internal concerns the revision of the tarlI-the adoption of the best mode for preserving the public moneys--a variety of commercial measures-perhaps the best system fa~1 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 'FCongressional Union"

 The Daily, Semi-Weekly, and Weekly Union, will, usual, embrace interesting variety of 1 matter on political scientific, and literary subjects, along with current news of the day. The editor will continue 10 devote all his energies to the i'm proyement of ssThe Union." He finds many ac i complished men of this city. The administration has sbrought with considerable accession ottalefts. Several tried and distinguished members of the de- mocratic party have accepted office underit Some of them have liberay contributed their literary la bors to benefit; and 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 hispaper 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 of the correspondence which he IS attempting to establish in foreign countries, paper may be pub lished which is not unworthy ot the support of his country In undertaking the task, he knew he had many difficulties to overcome, many lessons to learn many sacrifices to encounter He knew that, amid { the ardous cares of 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, 4l, freedom. The men who are administering this go- vernment are working men, anxious, as he be- eves, to do their duty, to their country, to carry out the pledges under which the President was 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, as 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 tion of the country have already come forward to sustain the sFUnion'
