NEW SERIES OF THE tgl
Congressional Globe and Appendix.
ro be sTEREoTypED.

The undersigned originated the mode
Of Journalizing the proceedings of Con-
gress, which presented them entire. Their
publication was the first and only one that
gave each successive step in every meas
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 Rep
resentatives from every section Of the Un-
MON bring with them into Congress a
knowledge of the feelings, sentiments, and
interests Of their seyeaal constituencies.
Public opinion and the public informa-
tion, as it exists among those they repre-
sent, are embodied by them; and in the
crucible Of Congress the wisdom of our
times is brought to its test, and is there
concentrated, in directing 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 parts are
made to move in CO operation. The press
cannot be more usefully employed than in
coDdensing and again spreading abroad
the intelligence of our free country, ten
ding to such happy results through our al.
most miracnlously adjusted State and Ma
tionel 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 Of the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix. issued du-
ring the last ten years, which would be
impaired in value 10 us and utility to the
public if the work were discontinued, we
have double motive to prompt us to cx-
tend it through a new series. We are re-
solved if possible to give it permanence,
aud 10 hand it down to successors as a
standard work, worthy of being maintains
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 unencumber-
ed, shall hope to make the new series a
step III advance Of the former 10 all points
of execution. With view TO accomplish
this, we shall be Zone or the other) always
in attendance in CoDgress-will compare
the manuscript of our reporters with the
daily reports OF the city papers--cOrrect
all by our own observation and knowledge
of the ceedings; and in important mat
ters, where that will not assure Us of the
fidelity Of the reports, we will procure the
aid Of the members themselves, to obtain
the exact scope of their remarks. The
work, thus authenticated, will be stereo.
typed, which is a guaranty that we will
make il as perfect as it is possible for us
to make it, as we would not incur the ex.
pense of stereotyping it, if we did not feel
confident of its superiority over all works
Of the kind which have ever been or are
likely to be published. Stereotyping the
work will enable us TO supply lost or mu-
tilated numbers, 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
fered, or motions made, are given 10 the
movers own words; and the yeas and nays
on all the important questions. II is prin.
ted with small type-brevier and nonra-
reil-on a double royal sheet, in qualto
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 tha,
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 make the same number of
pages.
We print the numbers as fast as the pro.

or six weeks Of q session, there IS rarely
more business done than will make one
number OF the Congressional Globe and
one number Of the Appendix week; but
during the remainder Of a session there is
usually sufficient matter for two or three
numbe,s of each every week. The next
