of the speakers, the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
AND APPENDIX Is now offered 10 lhe pubic
not only az an authentic, but as an official
report of the proceedings of Congress made
under the eye, aud published by authority
OF lhe body.
The undersigned originated The mode oI
journalzing The proceedings OF Congress,
which, thus adopted, is to be perfected with
the aid and under the supervision of Con'
gross Their publication was the first and
only one that gave each successive step in
every measure 10 both branches of Congress
oltel of al The debates; every important
vote; ant an Appendix, including al foil
length all the revised speeches delivered
during the session.
Toe work, as II ls nov 10 De conducted
by them, viii be found a most perfect pOlIt
icai history. The Senalors rom the States
and The Representatives from every section
ul the Union bnng with them lnIO Con-
RIes knowledge Of the feelings, senll-
men,s, aUd interests of their several cousll-
uencles. Public opinion and the public in
lormalion,as It exists among those they rep
resent are embodied by them, and 10 the
crucibe of Congress the wisdom Of our
times is brought TO lis test, and is there con-
eeniraled, in directing the political move,
ments of the whole cODntry The impul-
ses thus given through Congress from every
quarter reacl upon the naIIon as whole
and all its component parts are made tOI
move in cooperation. The press cannot be
more useluIy employed Than in cOndeDsi1g
aud again spreading abroad the intelligence
of our free country, tending 10 such happyI
results through our almost mlracuIousIy al
igs,ed State and National Institutions
Having identified ourselves with the plan
Of advancing the usefulness Of Congress by
publishing full and impartial reports, and
having large mass of the CoNoREssIoNAL
GLOBE AND APPENDIX, issued during The
las, Twelve 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 extend 1t through Al
ne " series. We are eso'ged, It possible
10 give II permanence, and 10 hand II Gown
10 successors as standard work, worthy oil
being maintained and improved We shall
en,er upon our new undertaking without
being distracted or burdsnad by any asso'
cia,e labors Of the press; and, thus unen'
cunbered, shsl! hope 10 make the new Sc
rics a step iO advance OF the former in all
poin,s of execution. Nuh a view to sc-
compIlsh this, we snail be Zone or the 9th
er) N attendance on Congress.
The reports will not be effected by our
par,y bias. We believe every member OF
Congress will bear witness MAT our reports
are ful and TAR.
The Congressional Globe is made up Of
the daily proceedings of The two Houses Of
Congress, and printed on supertne dOubeI
royal paper, with small type, (breVer and
nonpsrelI,) in quarIo form each number
conlaing sixteen royal quaro pages. Thel
speeches of The members, IN this first form,
are condensed-the full report of lhe pre-
pared speeches being reserved for the APP
pendx. All resolutions, motions, and oth-
or proceedings, are given in the form OF the
journals, with The yeas and nays on every
important question
The AppcuGlS is made up Of the PresI'
dents Annual Message, the repors OF 'heI
principal officers Of lhe Government that
accompany it, and all speechs OF members
Of Congress, written out or revised by them
selves. Lii printed in The same form as
the Congressional Globe and usually mskes
about ,he same number Of pages during Al
session.
During the htst month or six weeks Of
ssssiop, lhsre is rarely mole business doneI
than will make two numbers a week-one
of the Congressional Globe and one OF lheI
Aoppndix; but during the remainder Of al
session, there is Usually Sufficient matter for
Two or three numbers of each every week.
The next session will be unusually inter-
exiting, thprrfJrc, we calculate lhaIthe Con.
Rressiona Globe and Appendix together
will make near 1900 large qu6riO pages
printed in small lype-hrcv,er and nonParlrl

large royal quarlo volumes, which We will
