PROSPECT US

will be continued at tho next session of Congress
and to state, succinctly their contents, the form in
which they will be printed, and the prices for
them. IT. s-...
The Congressional Globe is made I'D of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
The speeches OF the members ore condensed, to
bring them into readable length. All the reso-
lui'ons offered, or motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and the yeas and nays on
all important questions. 1t is printed with small
type-orevier and nonparciI-on a double royal
sheet, in quarto' form, each number containing l6
royal quarto pages. Il is printed as fast as
Inc business done in Congress furnishes mat
ter enough Tor a number. The first four weeks
OF session usually furnish matter enough for
one number week; and the balance of the ses-
SION enough for two or three numbers a week.
The approaching session of Congress will be
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
all long speeches of members of Congress, writ.
ton out and revised by themselves. 1t is printed
IN the same form as the Congressional Globe, and
usually makes about the same number of pages.
There are not so many numbers published the
hrst hive weeks OF the session, as 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 more frequently than the Congress.
siona Globe.
Each of these works is complete in itself; but
It is necessary for every subscriber who desires
fun knowledge Of the proceedings of Congress,
to have both ; because, then, if there should be
any ambiguity in the synopsis of the speech, or
any denial OF its correctness as published in the
Congressional Globe, the reader may turn to the
Appendix to SEQ the speech at length, corrected
by the member himself.
Now, there is no source but the Congressional
Globe and Appendix, from which a person can
obtain full history of the proceedings Of Con.
gress. Gales q Seaton's Register of Debates
which contained history, was suspended in the
year 1887, and has not since been resumed. Ii
cost about five times as much for 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.
Complete indexes to both the Congressional
Globe and Appendix printed at the close Of
each session and sent to the subscribers for them.
The reports of The Congressional Globe and
Appendix not in the least degree affected by
the party bias of the Editors. They are given
precisely as written out by The Reporters and the
Members themselves, and are subject to the revi.
sion and correction of the speak ers.
al Globe and Appendix for their Committee rooms,
and for the libraries of Congress. So confident
are we that all who subscribe for these works will
be pleased with them, that we hereby pledge our
selves to take them back and refund the money to

The approach of Congress which will discuss
for the American people all the most important
questions ever entertained by the National Coun-
ellis, and new and extraordinary measures never
before fully ventured upon, has induced the pub.
fishers of the Globe to make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting and pub
fishing the speeches and proceedings of the next
session. stronger corps Of reporters, new type,
and finer paper, will be provided TO present, in
the best manner the debates and doings of the re-
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 uscendency in the
Senate, while the other holds power in the recent.
ly chosen popular branch. In this attitude Con-
gress will meet to deal with the most interesting
topics which have ever invoked its wisdom. II
will find the whole revenues of the country in the
hands of irresponsible functiona ries, in HON no
party confides. 1t will find an oppressive tariff
robbng the great mass of the people and the Co.
vernment. 1t will find monstrous money we'd and
specializing interest struggling to build up another
Independent taxing power in an Incorporated es-
MISUNDERSTANDING, as a vested right. to certain
classes, authority to counterfeit for the nation IA
currency forbidden by the Constitution. 1t will
find political agtators in Congress at work for
presidential asplrants, urging the distribution of
the national domain, and the assumption Of State
debts, as means Of ensting in their political
designs all the classes who look to distribution as
perpetuating excessive tariff, to assumption as
approaching their stocks and creating national
debt-opening new field of speculation, Of which
a national bank is considered necessary, as the
grand stmulator. With all these vast issues will
be involved the question of the next Presidoncv,
on which ii 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 all the discussions
in Congress, and Of all its proceedings. The i'm.
portant topics opened up in Congress will, we
have no doubt, greatly protract the session, and
consequently increase the voIumo of our reports.
The Congressional Globe of the last long session
(mado up OF the proceedings, including the votes
and synopsis of the discusson) extended to al.
most thousand quarto pal es, small print. The
appendix OF speeches. revised or written ont bv
the speakers. consisted also of about one ,bous,na
quarto pages. These volumes were fnrn;shaJ
