~ NEW SERIES OF THE r
Congressional Globe and Appendix.
TO De sTEREoTypED.

The undersigned originated the mod
of Journalizing the proceedings of Con
gress, which presented them entire. TLei
publication was the first and only one tina
gave each successive step in every meas
ure in both branches of Congress; a brie
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 Rep
resentatives from every section Of the Uo
nion bring with them into Congress 9
knowledge of the feelings, sentiments, and
interests Of their seveaal constituencies
Public opinion and the public informa-
tion, as il exists among those they repre-
sent. are embodied by them; and in the
crucible Of Congress the wisdom of our
times is brought to 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 a
whole, and all its component parts are
made to move in CO cooperation. The press
cannot be more usefnIIy employed than 10
condensing and again spreading abroad
the intelligence of our free country, ten
ding to such happy results through our al
most miracuously adjusted State and Ma"
tional institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan OF advancing the usefulness Of Con-
gress by publishing full and impartial re-
ports, and having a large mass of the Con.
gressional Globe and Appendix. issued du.
ring the last ten years, which would be
impaired in value 10 us and utility 10 the
public if the work were discontinued, we
have double motive to prompt us TO tx.
tend it through a new series. We are re-
solved if possible to give it permanence,
and 10 hand it down to SUCCESSORS as
standard w,rk, 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 IF the press; aud, thus unencumber-
ed, shall hope to make the new series q
step III advance Of the former in all points
)f execution. With view to accomplish
his, we shall be lone or the other) always
n attendance in CoDgress-will compare
he manuscript of our reporters with the
al BY our own observation and knowledge
If the proceedings; and in important mat.
ers, where that will not assure us of the
idelity Of the reports, we will procure the
lid Of the members themselves, to obtain
he exact scope of their remarks. The
york, thus authenticated, will be stereo.
yped, which is a guaranty that we will
make ii as perfect as il is possible for us
o make it, as we would not incur the ex.
,ense Of fstereotypng it, if we did not feel
confident of its superiority over all works
If the kind which have ever been or are
likely to he published. Stereotyping the
work will enable us to supply lost or mu-
Hated numb ers, which we will do, without
making any charge for them.
The Congressional Globe is made up of
lie daily proceedings of the two Houses
If Congress. The peeches OF the mems
'eadable length. All the resolutions of. |
cred, or motions made, are given in the
movers own words; and the yeas and nays
u all the important questions. 1t is prin
ed with small typc-brevier and nonra-
eil-on double royal sheet, in qualto
orm, each number containing sixteen roy
! quarto pages.
The Appenpix is made up Of the Presi-
eDt's annual message, the reports Of the
rincipal officers of the Government that
company il, and all the long speeches
members of Congress, written out or
evised by themselves. Itis printed in
he same form as the Congressional Globe,
nd usually make the same number OF
ages.
We print the numbers as fist as the pro.
eedngs Of Congress furnish enough mat.
er for anumber. During the first month
r six weeks of a session, there Is rarely
lore business done than will make one
umber OF the Congressional Globe and
ne number Of the Appendix week; but
nring the remainder Of session there is
snally sufficient matter for two or three
nmbeis Of each every week. The next
'ssion will be long one, and il is suppo.
ID will be unusually interesting; there
re, We calculate that the Congressional :.
lobe and Appendix will each make near
ne thousand large quarto pages, printed /.
small type-brevier and nonpareil -
70 furnish complete indexes 10 both al
le end Of the session.
We have on hand the Congressional
lobe and Appendix for the last twelve
ssIons of Congress, Of which five were q
ng and seven were short sessions. - The I
ongressianal Globe and Appendix for .

gether, are So volume for short, and q

more, as the proceedings of Congress r

The next session of Congress will be a Ia
