nROSPECTUS OF THE CONGRESS
SIONAI, GLOBE a. APPENDIX.

--These works have such wide circuln.
ton, and have been so universally APP
proved and sought nfier by the public, that
; we deem II necessary only in this pros
pectus TO say that they will be continued
at the next session Of Congress, and 10
state, succinctly, their contents, the form
in which they will be printed, and the
prices OF them.
The Congressional Globe is made up
ofthe daily proceedings of the two Houses
OF Congress. The speeches of the men,
bers are condensed to bring them into n
readable length. All the resolutions, Of
fered, or motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and the yeas and
nays on all the important questions. tits
printed with small type--brevier and
nonpariel--on a double royal sheet, in
quarto form, each number containing l6
royal quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up Of the Presi-
dents annual message, the reports of the
principal officers Of the government that
accompany il, and all the long speeches
of members Of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. It is printed in
the same form as the Congressional
Globe, and usually makes about the same
number of pages.
Now there is no source but The Con
gressional Globo and Appendix from
which person can obtain full history
of the proceedings Of Congress. 1t is
now recognized, by resolution, as the au-
thentic report Of proceedings, the earlier
volumes having been purchased for the
use Of members, and for the Compression.

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 Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix, and did
not contain an equal amount of matter, a
great portion Of the current proceedings
being omitted.
Complete indexes TO both The Congress
sional Globe and the Appendix are print
cd at the close of each session, and sent
to all subscribers for them.
The reports of the Congressional Globe
and Appendix are not in tho least degree
affected by the party bias Of the editors.
They are given precisely as written out
by the reporters and the members them.

and correction Of the speakers.
The approach Of a Congress which will
discuss for the American people all the
most important questions ever entertained
by the national councils, and new and ex-
traordinary measures never before fully
ventured upon, has induced the publishers
of the Globe 10 make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting
and publishing the speeches and proceed.
ings of the next session.
All persons who may desire either, or
both of these works, should subscribe for
them by the 10th of December, else they
may fail TO get them. People are still
subscribing for The Congressional Globe
for the last session Of Congress, and we
have not been able 10 furnish complete
copy of il since early in the session.
We win send the GloLe for the APP
preaching session 10 any person who will
return to US all the numbers Of il for the
last session. We usually print double as
many copies as we have subscribers at the
commencement of session, and then,
perhaps, in few weeks they will all be
exhausted. We say again, that those
who want the Congressional Globe, or the
Appendix, must subscribe and send the
money for them by the 10Th of December,
else they will not probably get them.
Persons subscribing for the Congress
sonal Globe, or the Appendix, should be
careful TO name the State, as well as the
post office to which they wish the paper
sent, as there are many post offices of tho
same name in different States--Paris, for
example. We received money from Par

and we have not been able, up TO this day,
to find out from what State it was sent;
and the person who sent it has lost his
money. The rules Of the General Post
Office requires the post masters to endorse
the name Of the State on every letter, bul
many of them neglect TO do it.
4 Every man in the country who desires
to be informed Of the public history or the
public men Of the country, should read the
debates Of Congress. Our foreign affairs
and the domestic concerns OF every sec.
ton of the country pass under review in
Congress. The discussions embrace men
and things, present and past history; and
the best faculties and highest attainment
are directed to their calculation. 1t il
