dom Of our times is brought to its test. and
is there concentrated, in directing the M.
litical movements Of the whole country
The impulses thus given through Congress
from every quarter react upon the nation
as whole, and all its component parts are
made TO move in cooperation. The press
cannut be more useful employed than in
condensing and again spreading abroad the
intelligence of our free country, tending
to such happy results through our almost
miraculousy adjusted Stale and National
institutions.

on our hew undertaking without being dis.

shall hope to make the new series a step
in advance of the former in all points of
execution. With a view 10 accomplish
this, we shall be Zone or the other) in at

The reports will not be affected by our
party bias. We believe every member Of
Congress will bear witness that our re.

The Congressional Globe is made up
Of the daily proceedings of the two Houses
of Congress, and printed on superfine
double royal paper, with small type, (bre-
vier and nonpariel,) in quarto from, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the members, in
this first form, are condcnsed--the full
report of the prepared speeches being re-
served for the Appendix. All resolutions,
motions, and other proceedings, are given
in the form of the Journals, with the yeas
and nays on every important question.
The Appendix is made up OF the Presi-
dents Annual Message, the reports of the
pricipal officers Of the Government that
accompany it, and all speeches Of men,
bers of Congress, written out or revised
by themselves. 1t is printed in the same
torn as the Congressional Globe, and
usually makes about the same number of
pages during a session.
During the first month or six weeks Of
a session, there is rarely more business
done than will make two numbers a week
one of the Congressional Globe and one
of the Appendix; but during the remainder
of session, there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each
d every week. The next session will lie IN.
