FENEIE5E works have been published BY us fol
n SIX years There are now more subscri
hers for them, probably, than for any paper pub
lishcd in the United States certainly more thar
there are for any other paper published in Tho
District. This large and increasing subscription
is conclusive evidence Of their usefulness. They
are inyaluableto all who feel an interest in tn,
proceedings of Congress- No other publication
gives them 80 full, nor half sn cheap II is, in
deed, the cheapest publication in the UniteC
States-perhaps in the world Our position al
the seat of Government enables us 10 print them
at so low rate. We are compelled to publish
the proceedings of Congress in detail, for oui
daily paper This done, it requires, compare
lively, but 4 small additional expense to change
them to the forms of the Congressional GLOBE
and Appendix. If it were not for these circum
stances, we could not publish them for foul
times the sum charged.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two houses Of Congress,
and the speeches of the members, condensed
HE yeas and nays on all important subjects are
gigon. II is published weekly, with small type,
on sixteen royal quarto pages.
The Appendix contains the speeches Of the
members at full lcugth written out by them
selves, and is printed in The same form as the
Congressional Globe 1t is Published as fast as
the speeches can be prepared. Usually there are
more numbers printed for a session than there

DDerenccef Opinioo.-1he Charlottesville Re
publican insists that Senator Rives is "un-
changed Democrat The Petersburg ConselIa-
ton, on the other hand, speaking of him. among 9th
er leaders of the Conservatives, asserts that he is
designing and unprncipled at heart, however fair
and honestly he "appears outwardly.' Thus we
go. The truth of the matter is, that, far ad
hercnce to old opinions goes Mr.. Rives is, the
Charlottesville paper says, unchanged: But that he
is unchanged Democrat does not clearly follow.
The meaning of Democracy, nowa-days, is obedience
to Executive orders: and whenever the President
changes his opinion, therefore, every good Democrat
must do likewise. II he swears that white is black,
they must not dare to dissent from him. Freedom
of opinion is totally Inconsistent with orthodox Dem
ocracy.
