AND APPENDIX


TO BIZ sTEREoIYPED.
rEyHE undersigned originated the mode Of Josr-
Il naizsBg the proceedings Of Congress, which
presented them entire. Their publication was the
hfst and only that gave each successive step ia
every measure 10 both branches Of Congress- a
briet Of all The debates every important vote and
an Appendix. including at full length all the resis-
ed speeches delivered during The session. The
work thus conducted by them is most perfect po-
litical history. The Senators from the State and
the Representatives from every section Of the Union
bring with them into Congress knowledgs OF the
feelings, sentiments aad Interests Of tneit several
constituencies. Public opinion and the public 10
formation, il exsts among hose they represent,
are embodied hy them; and 10 the crucibie OF Con-
gress the wisdom Of times brought to us test,
and is there concentrated ia directing the political
movements Of the Whole country. The impulses
thus gwen Though Congress from every quarter
react upon the nstion as whole, and gil IT'S com
ponent parts are made TO move 10 corporation -
The press cannot be more usefully employed than
IN condensing and again spreading abrosd the in-
teihgeuee four tee county, tending TO such hap
py results through almost mraeulonsly ADJUST
ed State and National Institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the plan OF adj
vancing the usefulness OF Congress BY publishing
full and impartial reports, and having large mass
OF the Congressional Globe and Appendix, issued
DUNG the last ten years which would be impaired
IN value and utility the public u the work
discontinued ne have double motive
prompt Va 10 extend it through new series. We
are resolved II possible 10 give II permanence, and
to hand it down 10 successors as a standard work,
worthy OF being maintained and improved. We
shall enter upon our new undertaking without be-
ing distracted OF butdened by any associate lsboTs
-, hail
make the series stop in advance Of the
former 10 all point. OF execution With view TO
accomplish this, shah be Zone o. the othef) al
ways IN attendance 10 CongIess--we compare the
manuscript OF our reporters with the daily re-
ports OF the city papers-correct all by our own
observation abd knowledge OF the proceedings;
and IN important makers, where that will not as
sure OF the fidelity OF the reports, will pro-
cure the aid OF the members themselves, to obtain
the exact scope OF their remarks. The work, thus
authsntIcated, will be stereoyped, which is guar
anty that we viii make il perfect ia II Is poss-
bic for US to make II, We would not lneut the
expenses of sIereoypug it, if we did not fee! con-
iident of its superiority all works OF the kind
which have been are likely to be pablished.-
Stereotyping the work will enable to supply lost
mutilated numbers, which we will do, without
making any charge for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up OF the dali
y proceedings OF the two Houses of Congress-
The speeches Of the members condensed to
bring them into readable length. All the resolu-
tons offered, or motions made, are gwen in the
movers own words; and the yeas and nays ell
the important questions. 1t is printed with small
type-breyier and nonpafeii--on a double royal
sheet, In querto form, each number containing six
teen royal quarto pages,
The Appendix Is made up Of the Presidents an.
nual message, the report. of the principal officers
of the Government, that accompany il. and all the
long speeches of members of Congress written out
or revised by themselves Ii is printed in the
same form as the Congressional Globe. and usually
makes about the same number OF pages
We print the numbers as fast as the proceeding
os Congress furnish enough matter for a number
During the first month or six weeks ofa session
there is rarely more business done than will make
one number Of the Congressional Globe and one
number of the Appendix a week; but during the
remainder of a session there il usually suticien,
matter for two or three numbers of each ever, week.
The next session will be long one, and it is sup.
posed will be unusually interesting: therefore. we
calculate that the Congressional Globe and Amen.
dix will each make near one thousand large auar,o
pages, printed in small tyPe-bresier and nonpa-
