VIE undersigned respectfully inform the public, X that, with the approaching session of Congress, they will begin the publication of the "Congression al Umon' and ''AppendiX." The first wifi contain iHl 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 a com plete synopsis of their proceedings and ready book of reference upon all questions which come i before them.

 The second, {the 'sAppendx,' ,'') will contain eve " speech which is delivered in the House of Rep resentatYes and Senate during the session, report ed at length by full and able corps congresson- al reporters and revised before publication by the authors whenever 1t is requested. These two works will be strictly impartial, and are intended to be as interesting and useful 10 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 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 deveope 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 ratifying the constitution of Texas, which is to consummate her admission into our Union, and the admission of her members into our public councIls-every measure | with MeXlco-as well as the final decision on the Zoll- Vereip treaty. and other measures which are more or less connected with our foreign rela- l tons will come under the revlew of the approach l ing Congress. Most of the emineRly important questions which relate to internal concerns the revision of the tarif-the adoption of the best mode for preserving the public moneys-a variety l ot commercial measures-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 .sCongressonal union.''

 The Daily, Semi-W 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 inn provement of s'The Union." He finds many ac complished men of this city. The administration has brought withi considerable accession talents. Several tried and distinguished members of the de- lnocratic party have accepted office underit. Some of them have liberaly contributed their literary la bors to our 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 his paper wor thy of the metropolis of the Union. He is persua- ded that, with the facilities which his position enables him 10 employs 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 shed, which is not unworthy of 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 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, he can speak with great pleasure and with equal freedom. The men who are administering this go- yernment are working men. anxious, 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 e the party So long as the administration is conducted in this spirit and upon those principles, he IS prepared 10 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 the 'EUnion.'

 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 "Union.''
