Sentinel of the valley. [volume] (Woodstock, Va) 1841-1848, 1843-11-09

The Appendix is made up of the Presidents
annual message, the reports OF the principal
officers of the Government that accom- 2any it,
and all the long speeches OF members of Con-
gress, written out or revised by themselves
1t is printed in the same form AS the Congress
sional Globe, and usually makes about the
same numbered pages. There are not so ma
numbers published, the first weeks of session.
as there are numbers of the Congressional
Globe. because the members are slow in wri-
ting out their speeches: but towards the close
Of session, the numbers are published more
frequently than the Congressional Globe.
Each of these works is complete in itself;
but it is necessary for every subscriber who
desires full knowledge of the proceedings
of Congress, to have both: because then, if
there should be any ambiguity in the synopis
Of the Speech, or any denial OF lis correctness
as published in the Congressional Globe, the
reader may tunto the Appendix to see the
speech at length, corrected by the member
himself
Now, there is no source but the Congress
slonal Globe and Appendix. from which
person can obtain full history Of The pro.
ceedings of congress. Gales s Seaton's Reg
lister of Debates, which contained history,
was suspended in the year 1887 and has not
since been resumed. 1t cost about five times
as mach for session as the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, and did not contain an
equal amount Of matter, great portion of the
current proceedings being omitted.
Compete indexes 10 both the Congression-
al Globe and the Appendix and printed at the
close of each session, and sent 10 all subscri-
bers for them.
The reports of the Congressional Globe and
Appendix are not i'll the least degree affected
BY the party bias of the Editors. They are
given precisely as written out by the Repor-
tiers and the Members themselves and are sub
iect to the revision and correction of the speak
ers.

The approach of Congress which will dis
cuss for the American people all the most I'M
portant questions ever entertained by the ma
tonal councils, and new and extraordinary
measures never before fully ventured upon,
has induced the publishers of the Globe to-
make greater and better PREPARATION than

Ell necessar,,', as the grand simulator. With
all these vast issues will be involved the ques-
ton OF the next Presidency, on which il is
supposed every result will depend.
In such crisis, it is proper that the people
OF every district in the Union should be we'll
informed OF the course pursued by its particu-
lar representative and of the bearing Of all
the discussions in Congress-, and ofall its pro-
ceedings. The important topics opened up
IN Congress, will we have no doubt, greatly
protract the session. and consequently in
crease the volume of our reports. The Con
gressional Globe of the last long session made
up of the proceedings, including the votes and
synopis OF the discussion, extended to almost
thousand quarto pages, small print. The
Appendix of speeches rev ised or written out
by the speakers, consisted also ofabout one
thousand qdarto pages. These volumns were
furnished for 81 each, The same amount of
matter reported and printed at the usual phi
ces, could not be afforded for less than $40
per volume. The matter being prepared for
our newspapers 1--WE were enabled to transfer
it and convert III Into the book form, and sell
IT at the reduced subscription price. But the
volume of the cePorts, increased by the long
session Of Congress made the cost Of the pa
per alone nearly equal the price at which the
volume was sold. The publishers made moth
ing on their work. Anticipating that the APP
preaching session viii not be shorter than the
long one of the 9Th Congress, we had deter
mined TO raise the price of the Congressional
Globe and Appendix to s. each; and 20 JUST

ing impressed with the Importance of spread

we oavc resolved to adhere to the old price of

that day the price will be So lor each.
