ses, having authorized large subscription for
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE AND Arprsprx:
and the Senate, By resolution, having directed
the mode OF preparing the reports OF its pro
eeedIngs, and authorized the Secretary Of the
Senate TO contract with the undersigned. s,iuu.
iaii1g that the reports when written our shall
be subject 70 the revision of the speakers, the
Congressional Globe and .4ppendir is now Of
Tered TO The public, not only as an authentic,
but as an official report of the proceedings Of
congress, made under the eye, and published
by authority Of the BODY.
The undersigned originated the mode Jour
naIlzlng the proceedings of Congress, which,
thus adopted, is TO be perfected with the aid
and under the supervision of Congress. Their
publication was the first and only one that gave
each successive step in every measure in both
braHches Of Congress; brief Of all the de-
bates; every important vote; and an Appen-
dix, including at full length all the revised
speeches delivered during the session.
The work, as 1t is now TO be conducted by
them, will be found most perfect political his
tory. The Senators from the States and the
Representatives from every section Of the Uni
on, bring with them into Congress a knowl-
edge OF the feelings, sentiments, and interests
oil their several constituencies. Public opini-
On and public information, as il exists among
those they represent, are embodied by them
and in the crusble Of Congress the wisdom Of
our times IS brought to its test, and is there
concentrated, in directing the political move
ments of tho whole country. The impulses
thus given through Congress from every quar-
ter react upon the nation as a whole, and all
It's component parts are made to move in CO.
operation. The press cannot be more useful
ly employed than in condersing aud again
spreading abroad the intelligence of our Free
country, tending to such happy results through
our almost miraculously adjusted State and
National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the plan of
advancing the usefulness Of Congress by pub
fishing full and impartial reports, ard having
a large mass of the Congressional Globe and
.4ppendir, issued during the last twelve years,
which would be impaired in value to us and
utility ts the public if the work were discoa-
| tinued, we have double motive 10 prompt us
10 extend it through new series. We are
resolved, if possible, to give it permanence,
and TO hand it down TO successors as stand
ard work, worthy of being maintained and i'm
\ proved We shall enter upon our new under
taking without being distracted or burdened By
any associate labors Of the press and, thus
unencumbered, shall hope 10 make the new
series a step in advance OF the former in all
points Of execution. With view ts accom-
| plsh this. we shall be (enc or tho other) in at
tendance on Congress.

gress will bear witness that our reports are full

| The Congressional Globe is made up OF the

gress, and printed on snperfne double royal
