ton, having directed the mode of prepar- 4
ing the reports OF lis proceedings, and au. q
thorized the Secretary Of the Senate TO
contract with the undersigned, STIMULATING J
that the reports when written out shall be
subject to the revision OF the speakers,
the Congressional Globe and Appendix is
now offered TO the public, not only as an
authentic, but as and official report of the
proceedings of Congress, made under the
eye, and published by the authority of
the body.
The undersigned originated the mode
of journaIizing the proceedings OF Con-
gress which, thus adopted, is 10 lie per-
| fected with the aid and under the supervl- |
sion Of Congress. Their publication was |
the first and only one that gave each sue
cessive step in every measure In both
branches OF Congress; brief of all the
debarrs; every important vote; and an
i Appendix, including at full length all the
revised speeches delivered during the ses
sion.
The work, as il is now to be conducted
by them, will be found a most perfect pc
litical history. The Senators from the
States and the representatives from every
section of the Union, bring with them into
Congress a knowledge of the feelings,
sentiments, and interest of their several
constituencies. Public opinion and the
4 public information, as il exist among those
: they represent, are embodied by them;
!. and in the crucibe of Congress the wis.,
dom OF our times is brought TO its test, and
is there concentrated, in directing the po-
litical movements Of the whole country
: The impulses thus given through Congress
g g from every quarter react upon the nation
u as n whole, and all its component parts are
II made TO move in co operation. The press
Z cannot be more useful employed than In
condensing and again spreading abroad the
g, intelligence of our free country, tending
. to such happy results through our almost
miracuIously adjusted State and National
ID institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan oc advancing the usefulness OF Con
40 gress by publishing full and impartial re
"A ports, and having large mass OF the Con
4 cressional Globe and Appendix, issued
& during the last twelve years, which would
=, be impaired in value to US and utility 10
ON the public if the work were disseminated,
ID we have double motive TO prompt US to
n. extend it through a new series. We are
o. resolved, if possible, to give 1t perma'
or nence. and 10 hand it down to successors
as standard work, worthy of being main
n tanned and improved. We shall enter up
en- our new undertaking without being dis
- tractod or burdened 10y any Associate la
bors of the press; and, thus unencumbered
- shall hope to make the new series a stcF
% in advance of the former in all points o
nd execution. With view 10 accomplish
this, we shall be Zone or the other) IN at
tendance en- Congress.
cir The reports will not be affected by on
nat party bias. We believe every member c
IN Congress will bear witness that our re
On ports are full and fair.
I'd, The Congressional Globe is made u
will of the daily proceedings of the two House
md of Congress, and printed on superfin
TO- double royal paper, with small type, (brt
his vler and nonparIeI,) IN quarto from, eac
for number containing sixteen royal quart
pages. The speeches of The members,
mr. this first form, are condensed--the flu
report of the prepared speeches beng RI
served for the Appendix. All resolution
motions, and other proceedings, are give
OF and nays on every important question.
ex- The Appendix is MAGE up Of the Pres
dents Annual Message, the reports OF d
. pricipal officers of tie Government ID
. accompany it, and all speeches OF mer
bers of Congress, written out or revIs'
lor- by themselves. 1t is printed in the san
lty' torn as the Congressional Globe, al
the usually makes about the same number
'ate pages during a session.
eco During the first month or six weeks
D"h a session, there is rarely more buslne
done than will make two numbers we
ct, -one of the Congressional Globe and OF
east of the Appendix; but during the remand
east of a session. there is usually sufhcIe
ton matter for two or three numbers OF ca
uar- every week. The next session will be U
cen, usually interesting; therefore, we Gale
r oil late that the Congressional Globe and A
OF pendix together will make near 10
OF large quarto pages, printed in small ty
snip brewer and nonpareil. We tnrn
Vid- complete Indexes to both at the end o
run session.
SO. We have on hand the CongressioI
uar- Globe and Appendix Cor the last fife
west sessions OF Congress, making together
sup teen large royal quarto volumes, which
naoe will sell, unbound, for Sal; or bound, W
$ re- Russia backs and corners, for $56. III
who want back volumes should apply
r1 them Immediately, as they are IN dema
&c q. Congress subscribed for 34l complete
ot during the two last sessions. The T

Jail wears cannot be procured from any OF
