gress, which presented them entire. Their
publication was The first and only one that
gave each successive step IN every mea-
sure in both branches of Congress; a brief
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 a most perfect political history
The Senators from the States aud the Re
representatives. from every section OF the
Union bring with them into Congress, a
knowledge of The feelings, sentiments,
and interests of their several constituent
ces. Public opinion and the public 10
formation, as it exists among those iheA
represent, are embodied by Them; aud IN
The crucible of Congress The wisdom OF
our times is brought 10 lis lest, 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 It's component parts made to
move IN cooperation. The press cannot
be more uselully employed Than in con-
densing and again spreading abrnad the
intelligence of our free country, tending
TO such happy results through our almost
miracuIously adjusted Stale and National
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 lhe Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix, issued
during the last ten years, which would be
impaired in value TO US and utility TO the
public if the work were discontinued, We
have a double motive to prompt US to ex-
tend it through new series. We are re-
solved if possible, TO give it permanence,
and to hand it down 10 successors as a
standard work, worthy Of being maintain
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 unencumbered,
shall hope to make the new series a step
in advance of the former in all points OF
execution.
With a view TO accomplish this, We shall
be Zone or the other always in attendance
in Congress-will compare the manuscript
of our own reporters with the daily re-
ports of the city papers-correct all by our
own observation and knowledge of the
proceedings; and In important matters,
where that will not assure US OF the fideli-
ty 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 stereotyped

as perfect as it is possible for Us to MAKE
it, as we would not incur the expense O
s ereotl ping 1t, if we did not feel conf
dent of IFS superiority over all works o
, the kind which have been or are likely 4
be published. Stereo'yping the work vii
enable US TO supply lost or muiilaied mum
bers, which we will do, without makinl
any charge for them
The Congressional Globe is made I'D O
the daily proceedings of the two House!
of Congress. The speeches of ihs, men
bers are condensed to bring them into ,
readable length. All the resolutions of

on all the important questions. 1t is prin

form, each number containing sixteen roy.

The Appendix is made up of the Presi.
dents annual message, The reports of the
principal officers of the Government that
accompany it, and all the long speeches
OF members OF Congress, written out or
revised by themselves. 1t is printed il
the same form as the Congressional Globe,
and usually makes about the same mum.

We print The numbers as fast as the
proceedings of Congress furnish enough

month or SIX weeks of a session. there Is
rarely more business done than will make

Is usually sufficient matter for two or three

session will be long one, and it is sup

Globe and Appendix will each make near
one thousand large quarto pages, printed

We furnish complete indexes 10 both ar
