NEW SERIES OF THE
Congressional Globe and Appendix
TO BE sTEREoTYPED.


The undersigned originated the mode Of
Journalizng the proceedings Of Congress.
which presented them entire. Their publica
sion was the first and only one that gave each
successive step in every measure in both
branches Of Congress; brief Of all the de-
bates; every important vote; And an Appen-
dix, including at full length all the revised
speeches delivered during the session. The
work thus conducted by them is most per-
feet political history. The Senators from the
States and the Representatives from every sec
ton OF the Uulon bring with them into Con-
geess knowledge of the feelings, sentiments,
and interests Of their several constituencies
Public opinion and the public information, as
il exists among those they represent, are en-
bodied by them; and ia the crucible Of Con-
gress the wisdom Of our times is brought to its
test, and is there concentrated. in directing the
political movements OF the whole country -
The impulses thus given through Congress
from every quarter react upon the nation as a
whole, and all its component parts made TO
move in cooperation. The press cannot be
more usefully employed than i'll condensng
and again spreading abroad the inteiligene OF
our free country, tending TO such happy re-
suits through our almost mlraculously adjusted
State and National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the plan OF
advancing the usefulness Of Congress by pub
fishing full and impartial reports, and having a
large mass of the Congressional Globe and APP
pendix, issued during the last ten years, which
would be impaired in value to us and utility to
the public if the work were discontinued, we
have double motive to prompt US TO extend it
through a new series. We are resolved If
possible to give it permanence, and to hand Il
down to successors as a standard work, worthy
of being maintained and improved. We shall
enter upon our new undertaking without being
distracted or burdened by any associate labors
of the press; and, thus unencumbered, shall
hope to make the new series step in advance
of the former ia all points execution. With a
view TO accomplish this, we shall be Zone or the

compare the manuscript of our, own reporters
vita the daily reports Of the city pspers-cor
rect all by our own observation and know ledge
of the proceedings; and in important matters
where that will not assure us of The fidelity oil
abe reports, we will procure the aid of the
members themselves, TO obtain the exact scope
of :heir remarks, The work, thus authentica
ted, will be stereotyped, which is a guaranty
that we will make il as perfect as II IS possible
for US to make il, as we would not incur the
expense OF siereotypng it, ii we did not zee
