Congress furnishes matter enough for a
number. The first four weeks of session
usually furnish matter enough for one num-
her week; and the balance of the session
enough for two or three numbers week
The approaching session Of Congress will
he q 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 Of the
principal officers Of government that ac-
company it, and all the long speeches of
members Of Congress, written out or revi-
sed by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe, u
usually makes about the same number of
pages. There are not so many numbers
published, the first weeks Of the session,
as there are numbers of the Congresson-
al Globe, because the members are slow in
writing oct their speeches; but, towards
the close of session, the numbers are
published more frequently than the Con-
sressiouaI Globe.
