Secretary OF the Senate 20 contract with the rnder

Congressional Globe and Appendix "a now offered

The undersigned originated the mode Of journal
ling the proceedings Of Congress which, thus adopt
ed Il TO be perfected with the aid and under the
teryision Of Congress. Their publication wss the
every measure in both branches Of Congress- brief
Of all the debates; every important vote; end sp-
pendix, including at full length all the revised
speeches delivered during the session.
The work, as II Is now to be conducted by them,
will be found most perfect political history. The
senators from the States, and the representatives
from every section OF the Union bring with them
into Congress a knowledge Of the feelings, senti-
ments, and interests Of their several constituencies.
Public opinion and the public Information, as Il ex-
them; and in the orucbIe of Congress the wisdom
Of our times is brought to It's test, and is there con-
centrated in directing the political movements Of the
whole country. The impulses thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon the nation
as whole, and all lis component parss are made to
move IN cooperation. The pres cannot be more
usefully employed than in condensng and agsin
spreading abroad the intelligence Of our free coun-
try, tending to such happy results through our al
most miraculousy adjusted State and national in
stitutions.
Having identified ourselves with The plan of ad-
vancing the usefulness Of Congrer.. by publishing

sued during the last twelve years, which would be
impaired in value to us and utility to the public if
the work were discontinued, we have double mo-
tive to prompt us to extend IL through new series.
We are resolved, il possible give il permancnce,
and to hand il down to Successors as standard
work, worthy of being maintained and improved.
We shall enter upon our new undertaking without
being distracted burdened by any associate labors
OF the press; and thus uncncumbcrcd, shall hope to
make the new series step in advance Of the form

The reports will not be affected by party bias.
We believe every member of Congress will bear
witness that our reports are full and fair. a
The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily
proceedings of the two houses Of Congress, and

type, (brevier and nonparel.) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. The
speeches Of the members in this first FORM are con-
densedthe full report of the prepared speeches be-
ing reserved for tho Appendix. All resolutions,
motions, and other proceedings, arc given in the
form Of the Journals, with the yeas and nays on
every important question. 1870 H.
The Appendix is made up of the Presidents an
nual message, the reports of the principal officers
of the government that accompany j, and all
speeches of members of Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. II is printed 10 the same
form the Congressional Globe, and usually
makes about the same number of pages during
session. N
During the first month or six weeks Of session,
there is rarely more business done than will meke
two numbers a week--one of the Congressional
Globe and one of the Appendix; but during the re-
mander Of session, there is usually sufficient mat
ter for two or three numbers Of each every week.
The next session will be unusually interesting;
therefore, calculate that the Congressional Globe
and Appendix together will make near $500 large
quarto pages, printed in small type--brevier and
nonpareil. We furnish complete indexes 70 both at
the end of a session. aae ,g
We have on hand the Congressional Globe and
Appendix for the last fifteen sessions Of Congress-
which we will sell, unbound, for al; or bound
with Russia backs and corners, for $50. Those
who want the back volumes should apply for them
Immediately, as they are in demand Congress
subscribed for 341 complete sets during the two last
sessions. The proceedings Of Congress for the last
nine years cannot be procured from any other
source--Gales d Seaton having stopped printing
their Register of Debates in 1897. 8ve
We will endeavor to print sufficient number of
surplus copies to supply oil that may be miscarried,
particular to file their papers carefully, for fear that
we should not be able to supply all the lost num-
bers. tlU
