Mississippi Democrat. (Carrollton, Miss.) 1844-18??, 1846-02-04
NEW SERIES OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.

4 publication was the hrst ana only one mat
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, a
kDowIo dye Of the feelings, sentiments,
and interests of their several constituent
cies Public opinion and the public in
formation, as 1t exists among those thea
represent, are embodied by them; and in
the crucible Of Congress the wisdom OF
our times is brought TO ~ test, and is there
concentrated, in direstisg 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 its component paris made TO
move in cooperation. The press cannot
be more usefully 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 Stale 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 oil 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 new series. We are re.
solved if possible, to give it permanence,
and to hand it down 10 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 step
in advance of the former in all points Of
execution.
With a view TO accomplish this, we shall
be Zone or the other) always in attes&ance
in Congress-wiIl 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, 10 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 of
s,ereotyping it, if we did not feel conf
dent Of its superiority over all works Of
the kind which have been or are likely TO
be published. Slereo.yping the work will
enable US to supply lost or mutilated num-
bers, which we will do, without making
any charge for them
The Congressional Globe is made up of
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 the
movers own words; and the yeas and nays
on all the important questions. 1t is prin-
ted with small type--breyier and nonpa-
reil--on a double royal sheet, in quarto
form, each number containing sixteen roy
al quarto pages.
The Appendix is made up of the Presi-
dents annual message, the reports of The
principal officers of the Government that
accompany it, and all the long speeches
OF members of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. 1t is printed in
the same form as the Congressional Globe,
and usually makes about the same mum.
Der OF pages.
We print the numbers as fast as the |
proceedings Of Congress furnish enough
matter for number. During the first
month or six weeks of session, there is |
rarely more business done than will make |
one number Of the Congressional Globe
and one numbroi the Appendix a week;
but during the remainder of session there
is usually sufficient matter for two or three
numpers Of each every week. The next
session will be long one, and it is sup
posed will be unusually interesting; there
fore, we calculate that the Congressional
Globe and Appendix will each make near
one thousand large quarto pages, printed
in small type-brevier and nonpareil.-
We furnish complete indexes to both at
the end of a session.
We have on hand the Congressional
Globe and Appendix for the last twelve
sessions OF Congress, Of which five were
long and seven we're short sessions The
Congressional Globe and Appendix for
each session are bound together in excel
len binding, with Russia backs and cor
ners. Our prices for them, thus bound TO-
gether, are S3 volume for short. and
