N EW RIES
OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and
APPENDIX.
TO BE STEREOTYPED.

The undersigned originated the mode
of journaIizing the proceedings of Congress
which presented them entire Their pub
LEGATION was the first and only one that
gave each successive step in every meas
urc in both branches ofCoDgresc; bret
Of all 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 Repre-
sentatiyes from every section Of the I'm
ion bring with them into Congress a
knowledge oftbe feelings, sentiments, and
interests Of their several constituencies
Public opinion of the public information,
as it exists among those they represent
are embodied by them; and in the cruel
bic Of Congress the wisdom, Of our times
is brought to its test, and is there con-
centrated, in directing the political move
ments of the country, The impulses thus
given through Congress from every quar-
ter react upon the nation as a whole, and
all its component parts are made to move
in cooperation. The press cannot be
more useiully employed than in condens-
ing and spreading abroad the intelligence
of our free country, tending to such happy
results through our almost miracuously
adjusted State and National institutions.
Having Unidentified ourselves with the
plan Of advancing the usefulness of Con-
grcss by publishing full and impartial re-
ports, and having large MISS of the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, ISIS
sued during the last ten years, which
would be impaired in value to us and util-
ity to the public if the work were discon-
tnued we have double motive TO prompt
us to extend it through new series We
are resolved if possible to give it psrma-
hence, and to hand it down to successors
as standard work, worthy ofbeng main
tanned and improved We shall enter
upon our now undertaking without being
distracted or burdcned by any associate
labors oflhe press; and, thus unencum-
bercd, shall hope to make the new series
a step in advance of the former III ali

will compare the manuscript of own re-
porters with the daily reports Of the city
papers, correct all by our own observation
and knowledge of the proceedings; and
in important matters, where that will rot
assure US Of the fidelity of the reports, we
will procure the aid Of the members them.
selves, to obtain the exact scope of their
remarks. The work, thus authenticated
will be stereotyped, which is a guaranty
that we will make it, as we would not IN
cur the expenses of stereotyping it, if we
did not feel confident Of its superiority
over all works of the kind which have
been or are likely to be published. Ste
reotyping the work will enable us to sup
ply lots of mutiIated numbers, which we
will do, without making any charge for
them.
The Congressional Globe is made up
of the daily proceedings of the two Hous.
es of Congress. The speeches of the
members are condensed, to bring them
into readable length. All the resolu-
