COAGRESNlONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.
TO BE sTEREoTYPED.
The undersigned originated the mode |
of journalizing 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 1t 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 patton as a
whole, and all its component parts made to
move IN cooperation. The press cannot
be more usefulIy employed than in con-
densing and again spreading abroad the
intelligence of our free country, tending
to such happy results through our almost
mraculously adjusted State and 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 TO the
public if the work were discontinued, we
have double motive to prompt us to ex-
tend it through a new series. We are re-
solved if possible, TO give it permanence,
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
bors of the press; and, thus unencumbered,
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-will compare the manuscript
of our own reporters with the daily re-
ports of the city papers-correct all by our
own observation and knowledge of the
proceedings; and in important matters,
where that will not assure US of the fideli-
ty of the reports, we will procure the aid
of the members themselves; TO obtain the
Z exact scope of their remarks. The work,
thus authenticated, will be stereotyped
which is a guaranty that we will make il
as perfect as If is possible for US TO make
it, as we would not incur the expense o.
s.ereotyping it, if we did not feel conf
, dent of its superiority over all works o.
the kind which have been or are likely Il
be published. Slereo.yping the work vii
enable US TO supply lost or mutllated 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
= lered, er motions made, are given in tn
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 quart
> form, each number containing sixteen roy
al quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of The Pres
dents annual message, the reports Of III
principal officers of the Government tia
II accompany it, and all the long speeche
!. of members of Congress, written out {
- revised by themselves. 1t is printed
> the same form as the Congressional Gob
and usually makes about the same nun
