and again spreading abroad the intelligence
Of oar free country, tending to such happy

Having identified ourselves with the plan
OF advancing the usefulness OF Congress by
publishing full and impartial reports, and
having large mass OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE AND APPENDIX, issued during tn,
last Twelve years, which would be impaired
in value 10 US and utility TO the public if The
work were discontinued, we have double
motive 10 prompt US 10 extend it lhIough q
new series. We are resolved, If possible
10 give II permanence, and 10 hand it down
to successors as a standard work, worthy Of
being maintained aud improved We shalt
enter upon our new undertaking without
being distracted or burdsnsd by any asso-
cjaie labors Of the press; and, thus Unen.
cumsered, shall hope 10 mako the new se,.
RIGS a step in advance Of the former in all
points of execution, With view 10 &C.
complsh this, wo shall be Zone or the 9th

parly bias. We believe every memssr OF

are tell and fTr.
The Congressional Globe is msae up of
the daily proceedings of the two Houses Of
Congress, and printed on supcr6ns dvabt
royal paper, with small type. (brevIsr and
nonparei,) in qoar'o form each number
ron,aing sixteen royal quarIo pages. rhs
speeches of the members, in this irsl form
psed speeches being reserved for the Ap>
pendlx, All resolutions, motions, and oh>
er proceedings, are given in the form OF the
journals, With The yeas and nays on every
important question.
The Appendix IL made up Of the Presi.
dents Annual Message, the reports of the
principal officers of the Government Ih,t
accompany it, anc all speeches Of members
of Congress, written out or revised By them
selves. II is printed in the same form as
the Congressional Globe, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during .
session.
During the first month or six weeks of
session, thsre is rarely mole business done
than will make two numbers woek-onr
of the Congressional Globe and one of the
A2pendxi but during The remainder of 3
session, there is usually sufficient matter for
two or three numbers of each every week
The next session will be unusually inter.
esling, therefore, we calculate lha, the Con.
gressional Globe and Appendix together
will make near 1900 large qusrts pages
printed in small lype-brev,er and nonparie
We furnIsh complete Indexes 10 both al the
end OF session.

want the back volumes should apply for
them Immediately, as they are in denaad
