NEW SERIES OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND ApPEEDIY
10 BE SUPERINTENDENT

OF Journalizlng 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: O 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, a
knowledge of the feelings, sentiments.
and interests of their several constituent
cies. Public opinion and the public in
formation, as it exists among those they
represent, are embodied by them; and in
the crucible of Congress 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 It's component parts made to
move IN cooperation. The press cannot
be more usefully employed than in con
densng and again spreading abroad the
intelligence of our free country, tending
to such happy results through our almost
miraculously adjusted State and National
institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan of advancing the usefulness of Con-
gress by publishing full and impartial re
ports, and having 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 to the
public if the work were discontinued, we
have double motive TO prompt US 10 ex-
tend il through new series. We are re-
solved if possible, to give it petmanence,
and to hand it down TO successors as a
standard work, worthy of being maintain
ed and improved. We shall enter upon
our new undertaking without being dis
tracted or burdened by any associate la.
burs of the press, and, thus unoncumborcd
shall hope to make the new series a step
in advance of the former in all points Of
execution.
With view TO accomplish this, we shall
be Zone or the other) always in attendance
in Congress-wiIl compare the manuscript
of our own repol .ers with the daily re,
ports of the city Papers-correcta all by our
own observation and knowledge Of the
proceedings; and in important matters,
where that will not assure Us of the fdeli-
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 stereotyped.
! which is guaranty that we will make il
as perfect as it is possible for us to make
it, as we would not incur the expense oil
stereotyping it, il we did not feel conf
dent Of its superiority over all works Of
the kind which have been or are likely to
be published. Slereolyping the work will
enable US to supply lost or mutiIated mum.
bers, which we will do, without making
any charge for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up o.
the daily proceedings Of the two Houses
of Congress. The speeches of the mem
bers are condensed to bring them into &
readable length. All the resolutions of.
fered, er motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and the yeas and nay:
on all the important questions. 1t is prin
: ted with small type-brevier and nonpa
reil--on a double royal sheet, in quartz
form, each number containing sixteen roy
al quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi
dents annual message, the reports of tht
principal officers of the Government tina
accompany it, and all the long speeches
of members of Congress, written out o
revised by themselves. 1t is printed il
/ the same form as the Congressional Globe
and usually makes about the same mum
