NEW SERIES OF THE
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX.

sure in both branches of Congress; 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 and the Ne
representatives. from every section OF Inc
Union bring with them into Congress,
knowledge Of the feelings, sentiments,
and interests of their several constituent
cies. Public opinion and the public IN
formation. as 1t exists among those thea
represent are embodied by them; and IN
the crucble of Congress the wisdom OF
our times is brought 10 its test, 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
whole, and all its component parts made TO
move IN cooperation. The press cannot
be more uselully employed than in con-
densing and again spreading abroad the
intelligence Of our free country, tending
to such happy results through our almost
miraculousIy adjusted State 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 the 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
HAYES double motive to prompt us 10 ex-
tend il through new series. We are re-
solved if possible, to give it permanence,
and to hand il down TO successors as
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 step
in advance of the former in all points OF
execution.
With view 10 accomplish this, we shall
be Zone or the other) always in attendance
in Congress-wIl 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 thai 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,
which is a guaranty that we will make it
!, as perfect as it is possible for us TO make
it, as we would not incur the expense of
, s ereoy ping it, if we did not feel conf.
dent of its superiority over all works of
the kind which have been or are likely TO
, be published. Stereolyping the work will
enable us to supply lost or mutilated num-
+ bers, which we will do, without making
any charge for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of
the daily proceedings Of the two Houses
of Congress, The speeches of the mem
bers are condensed to bring them into a
readable length. All the resolutions Of
lered, or motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and the yeas and nays
on all the important questions. 1t is prln-
led with small type--brevier and nonpa-
reil--on double royal sheet, in quarto
TORN, each number containing sixteen roy
al quarto pages.
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
7 revised by themselves. 1t is printed III
the same form as the Congressional Globe,
!, and usually makes about tue same mum.

one thousand large quarto pages, printed
