GLOBE AND APPENDIX, ISSUED during the
last Twelve years, which would be Dparet
in value 10 US and uNlly 10 ;he public II Ihr

new series. We are resolved, If pOsslbI
to give II permanence, and 10 hand II COwh'
TO successors as a standard work, worthy of
being m rnlained and improved We shall
enter upon our new undertaking wiIhOul
being distracted or burdeued by any asso.
cille labors Of the press; and, thus uncn'
cu,nbered shall hope 10 make the new Sc,
r!?s step in advance OF the former in all
points of execution. Nllh view to ac
complIsh this, we shall be Zone or lhe oih
err IN attendance On Congress.
The reports will not be affected By our
party bias. We believe every member o
Congress will bear witness that our report;
are full and far.
