Congressional Globe and Appcndix.

These works have been published by us for I'VE
years. There are now more Subscribers for them,
probably, than for any other paper published in the
United States; certainly more than there are fol
any other paper published in this District. This
large and increasing subscriptions is conclusive evil
dence Of their usefulness. They are invaluable 10
all who feel an interest in tho proceedings Of Con.
gress. No other publication gives them SO full, no,
half so cheap. 1t is, indeed, the cheapest publ.
cation in the United States--pe;haps in the world
Our position at the seat of Government enables US
TO print them at SO low rate. We arc compelled
10 publish the proceedings in detail, for our daily
paper. This done, it requires, comparatively, but
small additional expense to change them 10 the
forms of the Congressional Globe and Appendix.
If it were not orthese circumstances, we could not
publish them for four times the sum charged.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE Is made up of the
ailyaproceedings of the two houses Of Congress,
and the speeches of the members, condensed The
yeas and nays OH all important scbjects given. 1t
is published weekly, with small type, on sixteen
royal quarto pages.
The APPENDIX contains the speeches Of the
members, at full length, written out by themselves,
and is printed in the same form as tho Congression-
al Globe. II is published as fast as the speeches
can be prepared. Usually there arc more numbers
printed for a session than there are weeks in it.
Each of these works is complete in itself. But
II is desirable for every subscriber to lave boh be-
cause, If there should be any ambiguity in the sy-
ropsis ola speech i'll the Congressional Globe, OF
any denial of its corectsess, itnay be removed at
once, by referring to the speech in the Appendix.
Inexea to both are sent 10 subscribers, soon as
they can be prepared. @ 4t
The late session ofCongress being very impor-
