Congressional Globe and Appendix.


scription for the Congregational Globe and
appendir, and the Senate, by resolution,
having directed the mode of preparing
the reports Of its proceedings, and autho-
rized the Secretary Of the Senate to con-
tract with the undersigned, stipulating
that the reports when written out shall be
subject to the revision of the speaker, the
''Congressional Globe and Appendix" is
now offered to the public, not only as an
authentic, but as an oficia report Of the
proceeding of Congress-, made under the
eye, and published under the authority OF
that body.
| The undersigned originated the mode
of jonrnalizing the proceedings of Cons
gress, which, thus adopted, is to be per-
fected with the aid and under the super
vision of Congress. Their publication
was the first and only one that gave each
successive step in every measure 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 ses-
sion.
The work, as it is now to be conducted
by them, will be found most perfect po-
litical history. The Senators from the
| States and the Representatives from eve-
ry section of the Union bring with them
into Congress knowledge of the feelings
sentiments, and interests of their several
constituencies. Public opinion aud the
pnblic information, as 1t exists among
those they represent, are embodied by
them; and in the crucible of Congress
the wisdom Of our times is brought to is
test, and is there concentrated; in direct
ing the political movements Of the whole
country. The impul:e thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon
the nation as a whole, and all Its comPo'
nent parts are made to mvye IN co>oPera"
ton. The Press cannot be more useiully
employ ed than in condensing and agar"
spreading abroad the intelligence of our
free country, tending to such happy re-
suits through our almost miraculously ad-
justed 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 a large mass Of the
"Cong ressional Globe and Appendix" ="
issued during the last twelve years, which
W ould be impaired in value to us and utili.
ty to the public if the work were dscon.
we have a double motive to
prompt us TO extend it through a new se-
ries. We ere resolved, if possible, to
give it permanence, and to hand ii down
to successors as a standard work worthy
of being maintained and improved. We
shall enter upon our new undertaking
without being distracted or burdened by
any associate labors of the press; and, thus
unencumbered,s shall hope to make the new
series in advance of the former in all
points of execution. With view to ac
this, we shall be tone or the 9th
er) in attendance on Congress.
The reports will not be affected by our
party bias. We believe every memoer Of
Congress will bear witness that our re-
ports are full and fair.
The Congressional Globe is made up OF
he daily proceedings of the two Houses
If Congress, and printed on superfne
louble royal paper, with small type, (bre
ier and nonpareil,) in quarto form, ea ch
lumber containing sixteen royal qnarto
ages. The speeches of the members, in
his first form are condensed-the full
eport of the prepared speeches being d
eserved for the Appendix. All resolu I
ions, motions, and other pro eedings, !
re given in the form Of the Journals, I
nth the yeas and nays on every impor-
ant question.
The Appendix is made up of the Pre- 1
ident's Annual Message, the reports Of [
he principal office of the Government |
hat accompany it, and all speeches OF [
lembers of Congress, written out or re- I
ised by themselves. 1t is printed IN the 4
anne form as the Congressional Globe, and h
sually makes about the same number o { h
ages during session. b
During the first month or six W eoks OF {
session, there is rarely more business c
Que than W ill make two numbers a week: G
ne of the Congressional Globe and one c
the Appendix; but during the remain- e
er OF the session, there is usually sufli r
lent matter for two or three numbers II
ach week. The next session will be unu-
tally interesting; therefore, we calculate Il
lat the Congressional Globe and Appen Il
tx together will make near 1900 large +
aarto pages, printed in small type-bre> G
er and nonpareil. We furnish complete G
,dexes TO both at TIE end of a session. G
We have on hand the Congressional G
lobe and Appendix for the last fifteen G
ssions Of Congress, making together II
teen IaTSe Toyai quaFto Foiumes, WulCh II
e W ill sell, un bound, for SAL; or bound, Il
ith Russia backs and corners, for $50. II
hose who want the back volumes should Fl
,ply for them immediately, as they are H
demand. Congress subscribed for 34l H
,mplete sets during the last two sessions. |,
he proceedings of Congress for the last I,
me years cannot be procured from any j.
Iher source-Gales & Seaton having j.
opped printing their Register of De- j
ates in 1887. X
We will endeavor to print sufh cient X
nmber of fsurplus copies to supply all that X
ay be misoarried, or lost in The mails; X
ut subscribers should be very particular X
} file their papers carefully, for fear that X
e should not be able to supply all the X
