CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.

CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.
TO RE sTEREoTYpBD,
The undersigned originated the mode
of jonrnaizing the proceedings Of Con-
gress, which presented them entire. Their
publication was The first and only one that
gave each successive step in every mea.
sure in both branches of Congress; brief
Of all the debates; every important vote;
and an Appendix, including at full length
all the revised speeches delivered during
the session. The work thus conducted by
them is most perfect political history
The Senators from the States and the Re-
representatives. from every section of the
Union bring with them into Congress,
knowledge of the feelings, sentiments,
and interests Of their several constituent
ces. Public opinion and the public in
| formation. as ii exists among those they
represent, are embodied by them; and in
The crucible of Congress the wisdom OF
our times is brought 10 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 It's component parts made TO
move IN cooperation. The press cannot
be more usetuIly employed than in con
densing and again spreading abroad the
intelligence of our free country, tending
to such happy results through our almost
miraculously adjusted State aud National
institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan OF advancing the usefulness Of Con-
gress by publishing Hull and impartial re.
ports, and having a large mass Of the Con
gressional Globe and Appendix, issued
during the last ten years, which would be
impaired in value to US and utility 10 the
public if The work were discontinued, we
have double motive TO prompt us TO ex.
tend it through new series. We are re.
solved if possible, to give it permanence,
and to hand it down to successors us a
standard work, worthy of being maintain
ed and improved. We shall enter upon
our new undertaking without being dis.
tracted or hardened by any associate la.
bors of the press; and, thus unencumbered
shall hope to make the new series step
in advance Of the former in all points Of
execution.
With view 10 accomplish this, we shall
be Zone or the other) always in attendance
in Congress-wIll compare The manuscript
of our own reporters with the daily re
ports of the city papers correct all by ouI
own observation and knowledge Of the
proceedings; and in important matters
where thai will not assure US Of the idcli.
ty of the reports, we will procure the aid
of the members themselves, TO obtain the
exact scope of their remarks. The work.
thus authenticated, will be stereotypcd
which is a guaranty that we will make il
as perfect as ii is possible for US to make
it, as we would not incur the expense Of
sereoty ping it, if we did not feel conf
, dent OF IFS superiority over all works oil
the kind which have been or are likely Ia
be published Stereo,yping the work will
enable US 10 supply lost or mutilated nun.
bers, which we will do, without making
any charge for them.

Of Congress. The speeches Of the mem
bers are condensed to bring them into a
