be more usesuliy employed than in condensing and again spreading abroad the intelligence of our free country, tending 10 such happy results through uur almost niracuiously adjusted State and Natonain stitutions.
 Having identified ourselves with the plan cG ad- vancing the usefulness of Congress by publishing all and impartial reports. and having large mass of the Congressional Globe and Appendix. issued during the last twelve years, which would be im- paired in value to and utility to the public, if the work were discontinued, we have double mo- tive 10 pronpt 10 extend it through new series We are resolved, if possible to give it peTmanence, and to hand 1t down to successors as a standard Work, worthy of being maintained and improved. We shall enter upon otr new undertaking without being distracted buraened by any associate labors make the new series step in advance of tbe for mer in ail points of execution. With view to ac- eomplish this, shall be tone the other) in at- tendance on Congress.
 The reports win no, be affected by party bias; We believe that every member ef Congress will bear witness that our reports are full and fair. The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress. and pFated on saper6ne doable royal paper, with small
 type, (breyier and nonparie) in qnaIto form, each number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. s.-- The speeches of the members, in this form,
 densed--thc Iali report of the prepared speeches | being reserved in the Appendix. Ali reeeations, motions, and other proceedings, are giveu in the l form of the Journals, with the yeas and nays on
 every important question.
 The Arpeudix is made up of the Presidents An
 nual Message, the reports of the principal officers
 of the Government that accompany 1t, ard all i speeches of members of Congress, written out and l revised by themselves. Ii is printed in tho same
 form the Congressional Globe, and asnaiy makes ] about the same number of pages during session. During the last month or six weeks of session l there is rarely more business done than will make | two numbers week--one of the Congressional
 Globe and one of the Appendix: but during the re-
 mainder of session, there is usually sufficient mat
 ter for two Or three numbers of each every week. i The next session will be unusually interesting; l therefore We calculate the Congressional Globe and
 Appendix together will make l500 large quar-
 to pages printed in small type--brevier and nonpa- riel We furnish complete indexes 10 both at the i end of q session.
 | We have on hand the Congressional Globe and l Appendix for the last i5 sessions of Congress- l king together l5 large quarto volumes, which we sell, unbound for $4l or bound with Russia backs
 and corners, for S56. Those who want the back volumes should apply for them immediately, as they are in demand Congress subscribed for 34l com plete sets during the two last sessions. The pro- ceedings of Congress forhe last nine years cannot be procured from any other source--siaes and Sea
 ton having stopped printing their Register of De- i bates in 1887.
 We will endeavor to print sufficient number of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried
 or lost in the mails; but subscribers should be very
 particular to file their papers carefully, for fear that we should not,be able tc supply all the lost num- bers.

 son heed consume his time in writing for them uu- 1 less he sends the money.
