The approach OF Congress which will

Ia such u crisis, it Is proper that the
people Of every district in the Union
should be well informed Of the course
pursued by its particular representative,

The important topics opened up in Con
ere>s, will, we have no doubt, greatly
pro,ract the session, and consequently in
crease the volume Of our reports. The
Congressional Globe Of the last long ses
sion (made up Of the proceedings, includ
ing the votes and a synopsis OF the dis
cussion) extended to almost q thousand
quarto pages. These volumes were fur
nished for 81 each. The same amount
Of matter reported and printed at the usu
al prizes, could not be afforded for less
than $40 per volume. The matter be-
ing prepared for our newspaper, We
were enabled to transfer it and convert il
into the hook form, and sell it at the re-
duced Subscription price. But the vol
time Of reports, increased BY the long
session Of Congress made the cost OF the
paper atone nearly equal the price al,
which the volume was sod. The pub
fishers made nothing on their work.
Anticipating another session as long as
tina, Of the 9Th Congress, we had deter
miued to raise the price Of the Congress

and, to justify this enhanced price, incur
