The Congressional Globe is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress.
The speeches of the members are condensed, to
bring them into readable length. All the reso.
lutions offered, motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and the yeas and nays on
nl important questions. 1t is printed with small
typc-5revier and nonpare-on double-royal
sheet, in quarto form, each number containing l6
royal quarto pages. ], is printed as fast as
the business done in Congress furnishes mat
ter enough for number. The first four weeks
Of a session usually furnish matter enough for
one number week and the balance of the ses-
eon enough for two or three numbers q week.
The approaching session Of Congress will be q
very long one, and will furnish matter enough,
We suppose, for fifty or sixty numbers.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents
annual message, the reports of the principal off.
GERS OF the Government that accompany it, and
"il long speeches Of members of Congr ess, writ.
ten out and revised by themselves. It is printed
IN the same form rs the Congressional Globe, and
usually makes about the same number of pages.
There are not so many numbers published the
hrst tive weeks of the session, us there are num-
bers of the Congressional Globe; because the
members are slow in writing out their speeches.
But towards the close Of the session the numbers
are published moro frequently than the Congress
sional Globe. - ~
Each OF these works is complete in itself; but
II Is necessary for every subscriber who desires
full knowledge Of the proceedings of Congress,
to have both; because. then, if there should be
my ambiguity in the synopsis Of the speech, or
any denial of in correctness, as published in the
Congressional Globe, tho reader may turn to the
Appendix to 500 the speech at length, corrected
by the member himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and appendix, from which q person can
obtain full history of the proceedings Of Con.
gross. Gales IL Seaton's Register Of Debates
which contained a history, was suspended in the
year 1887, and has not since been resumed. 1t
cost about five times as much for a session as the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, and did not
contain an equal amount of matter, a great por.
ton of the current proceedings being omitted.

each session and sent to the subscribers for Them

are We that all who subscribe for these works will
be pleased with them, that we hereby pledge our

The approach of Congress which will discuss

cils' and new and extraordinary measures never
before fully ventured upon, has induced the pub

preparation than heretofore for reporting and pub.
fishing the speeches and proceedings Of the next
session. A stronger corps of reporters, new type,
and finer paper, will be provided, to present, in
the best manner, the debates and doings of the &c.
presentation of the Union, which ASSEMBLIES under
exciting circumstances, very widely differing from
the state Of things encountered by any previous
congress. The executive power is at war with
both the great parties that compose the Congress:
and one Of these will have the ascendepcy in the
Senate, while the other holds power in the recent
~ chosen popular branch. In this attitude Con.
gross will meet to deal with the most interesting
topics which have ever invoked its wisdom, II
will IND the whole revenues of the country in the
hands of irresponsible functiona ries, in whom no
party confdes. 1t will find an oppressive tariff
robbing the great mass of the people and the Go.
vernment. II will find q monstrous moneyed and
specializing interes, struggling to build up another
independent taxing power in an incorporated es-
'ablishmcnt-giving, as a vested right. to certain
classes, authority to counterfeit for tho nation
currency forbidden by the Constitution. 1t will
find political agitators in Congress at work for
presidential aspirants, urging the distribution of
the national domain, and the assumption of State
debts, as n means of enlisting in their political
designs oil the classes who look to distribution as
Perpetuating IN excessive tariff, to assumption as
approaching their stocks and creating u national
debt-opening new field of speculation, Of which
national bank is considered necessary, as the
grand stimulator. With all these vast issues will

on which it is supposed every result will depend.
10 such crisis, it is proper that the people of
every district in the Union should be well inform
cd Of the course pursued by its particular repre-.
sentative, and Of the bearing of oil tho discussions
in Congress, and of oil its proceedings. The i'm.
portant topics opened up in Congress will, we
have no doubt, greatly protIact tho session, and
consequently increase the volume of our reports.
