PROSPECTUS
OP THE '
"CONGRESSIONAL UNION" AND
"APPENDIX."
The gudersigifed respectfully inform the
public that wit lit the commencement of the
approaching session of Congress they will
begin the publication of the " Congressional
Union" and "Appendix." ThJ..iirsr will
contain f'i iuidtaccurale history ofvthe dai-
ly proccedijgsif !otli brandies of thu nation-
legislature. rTMwilU bo complied wilh such
care Hint every citizen who is interested in
the public affairs will find it a complete sy-
nopsis of their proceedings mid a ready book
of reference upon all questions which come be-
fore them.
The second (the "Appendix") will con
tain every speech winch is delivered in the"
House of Representatives and Senate during
the session reported at length by a full and
nble corps of congressional reporters and re-
vised belore publication by the authors when-
ever it is requested. These two works will be
strictly impartial and are intended to be as
interesting and useful to tho man of business
anil 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 be
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 develop'e the general 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 forei-'ii relations or
our domestic concern will be presented for
their consideration. The final measure of
ralifving the constitution of Texas which is
to consummate her admission into our Union
and the admi.-sion of her members into our
nublic councils every measure which affects
the Oregon question our relations with Mex
ico as well as the final decision on the re-
vived Zoll-Verein treaty these and other
measures which are more or less connected
with our foreign relations will come under
the review of the :ipproaching Congress.
Most of the eminen'Jy important questions
which relate to our iuternul concerns the re-
t'ision of the tariff. the adoption of the best
mode for preserving the public moneys a va-
riety of commercial measures perhaps the
best system for regulating the important inte-
rests of Texas the Indian questions the
land question the best system for our navy
these and others will constitute a mass of busi-
ness which is calculated to command much of
the time of Congress and much of the atten-
tion of the people They will all be reported
by jhe "Congressional Union."
The daily semi-weekly and weekly Union
will as usual embrace an interesting vari
ety of mutter on political scientific and li-
terary subjects nlnug with the current news
ofthedf.y. The editor will continue to devote
all his energies to the improvement of "Tke
Unioru"- He finds many accomplished men
in this city. The administration has brought
with it'a considerable accession of talents
Several tried and distinguished members of
the democratic pnrty have accepted office
under it. Some of them have liberally con
tributed their literary labors to our benefit; and
we hope to enlist others in our service. Be-
sides the time is not far distant when the edi-
tor intends to call other talents to his nssist-
nnce.. His ambition is to make his paper
worthy of the metropolis of the Union. lie
is persuaded that with the facilities which his
position enables him to employ ; with the of-
ficial and other materials placed within his
reach ; and with the aid of thc correspondence
which he is attempting to establish in foreign
countries ajjapcr maybe published which is
not unworthy of the support of his country.
In undertaking the task be knew he had
many difficulties to overcome many lessons
to learn. many sacrifices to encounter. He
kaew that amid . the arduous cares of a new
theatre -he could not at first do justice. even to
'himself; but his zeal rhas never flagged.;

under which the President was elected and
the'grent principles of the party. So long as
the'iujininistrtitinn is conducted in this spirit
aN'dVupbn that;: principles he is prepared to
cooperate with them in the public service;
and lJ;give them as he promised in his pros-
pectii'? " II fa'r "bjral and efficient support."
We feel a deep sense 'of gratitude for the
protnptmanncrin which our political friends

come forward to sustain the " Union." fllay
we not hope that our friends throughout the
United Stales will continue to assi.-t our la-
bors and prevail upon their friends to take
some one edition of the " Union 1"
