The work, as ii is now tos conducted by them,
will be found most perfectplitc history. The
senators from the States, d the representatives
from every section Of the zion bring with them
into Congress knowledgSf the feelings, senti-
ments, and interests Of theiteyera constituencies
Tuphc opinion and the publ information, as 1t ex-
lists among those they repHent, are imbodied by
them; and in the crucible Congress the wisdom
of our times is brought to iest, and is there con-
centrated, in directing the plitical movements of
the whole country. The mpees thus given through
congress from every quarteTeact upon the nation
as whole, and all its compAent parts are made to
move in cooperation Thepress cannot be more
usefully employed than in Dndensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence of our free coun-
try, tending to such happy lsuIts through our al
most miraculously adjusted Safe and national insti-
tutions. ia 'al5i3' 9s g1flE aa87 81, iBm.Ht
Having identified ourselvs with the plan of ad-
vancing the usefulness of Congress- by publishing
full and impartial reports, all having large mass
OF the Congressional Globeand Appendix, issued
during the last twelve years. which would be impair
ed IN value to US, and utilitl to the pubc, if the
work were discontinued, wehaye double motive
to prompt US TO extend it thr,ugh new series. We
are resolved if possible, to 9ve il permanence and
70 nand II down to successos as a standard work,
worthy of being maintained and improved. We
shall enter upon our new Undertaking without being
or burdened by any associate abors Of the
press; and, thus unencumbeIed, shall hope to make
ne new series step in advance Of the former in all
points of execution. With view to accomplish
his, we shall be Zone or the other) in attendance
,n Congress.
The reports will not be affected by our party bias.
we believe every member Of Congress will bear
witness that our reports are full and fair. 4

number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. The
peeches of the members in this first form, are con-
full report Of the prepared speeches be-
ng reserved for the Appendix. All resolutions,
notions, and other proceedings, are given in the

very important question Ia rt5E
The Appendix is made up Of the Presidents an
,ua message the reports Of the principal officers Of
he government that accompany it, and all speeches
# members Of Congress- written out or revised by
themselves It is printed in the same form as the
Congressional Globe, and usually makes about the
ame number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a session.
here is rarely more business done than will make
wo numbers week-one Of the Congressional
Globe and one of the Appendix; but during the re-
nander Of session, there is usually sufficient mat
er for two or three numbers of each every week.
The next session will be unusually interesting;
therefore, we calculate that the Congressional Globe
md Appendix together will make near 1900 large
luarto pages, printed in small type. We furnish
complete 1nQexeb 10 DOtu ~ VIC ciu VI ncoSioH.
We have on hand the Congressional Globe and
Appendix for the last fifteen sessions of Congress,
making together fifteen large royal quarto Volumes

with Russia backs and corners, for $50. Those
who want the back volumes should apply for them
as they are in demand. Congress
subscribed for 34l complete sets during the two last
sessions. The proceedings Of Congress for the last
1ine years cannot be procured from any other
,ource-Gales g. Seaton having stopped printing
heir Register Of Debates in 1887.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number of
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred,

particular to file their papers carefully for fear that
