Prospectus FOR TIE CONGRESS
roNaL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.


We deem it Necessary only IN thI- ProsPec-
,us to say, tina, they will be continued a.
the next session Of Congress; and to
state succinc,y their contents, The form IN
which they will be printed, aud The prices
Tor them.
The Congressional Globe is made up OF
,ho daily proceedings of the two Houses OF
Congress. The speeches Of the members
nre condensed, TO bring them into a reada-
bic length. All the resolutions offered ,or
,no,ions made. are given in the movers
own words: and the yeas and nays on all
the important questions. 1t is printed with
small f. pe--hrevier and nonparel!-on
double ROYAL sheet, in quarto form; each
number containing l6 ROYAL quarto pages.
II is printed as fast as the business done IN
Congress furnishes matter enough Tor
number. The first four weeks OF session
usually furnish matter enough for one mum
her week: and the balance OF the session
enough for two or three numbers week,
The approaching session Of Congress viii
be long one, and will furnish matter
enough, we suppose, for fifty or sixty num-
bers.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi-
dents annual message, the reports oil the
principal officers Of government that ac-
company it, and all the long speeches oil
members OF Congress, written out or REV.
scd bv themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form ms the Congressional u ODE, d
usually makes about the same NUM- er OF
pages. There are not so many numbers
published, the first weeks Of The session,
as there are numbers of the Congresslon-
al Globe, because the members are slow IN
writing out their speeches; but, towards
the close OF a session. the numbers are
published more frequently, than the Con-
gressional Globe.
Each OF these works is complete IN IT.
sell; but IL is necessary for every subscrI-
Der who desires full knowledge of the
proceedings Of Congress, to lave both;
because then, if there should lie any I'M
biguity 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 see the speech
ut length, corrected by the member him
self.
Now, there is no source but the Con-
gresslonal Globe and Appendix, from
which person can obtain full history OF
the proceedings Of Congress. GALES d

The approach OF Congress VII Oh will
discuss for the American people all the
most important questions ever entertained
by the national councils, and new and I'M
pottant questions never before fully vcntu
red upon, has induced the publishers OF
the Globe to make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting
and publishing the proceedings and speech
c3 of the next session. A stronger corps
OF reporters, new type, and finer paper,
will be provided, 10 present, in the best
manner, the debates and doihgs OF the rep.

countered 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 ascenden'
cy in the Senate, while the other holds the
power in the recently chosen popular
branch. In this attitude Congress will
meet, to deal with the most interesting top.
les which have ever invoked its wisdom.
1t will find the whole revenues Of the
country in the hands Of irresponsible
funclionaries, in whom no party confides.
1t will find an oppressive tariff robbing the
great mass of the people and the Gov
eminent. II will find monstrous mon-
eyed and specializing interest struggling
