| Congressional Globe and Appendix.
CONGRESS at Its last session, through tn,
Joint Library Committee Of the tw'
| Houses, baving authorized large sub
scription for the Congressional Globe ant
.Appendir, and the Senate, by resolution
having directed the mode of preparing
the reports Of it's proceedings, and autho'
rized the Secretary Of the Senate to con
tract with the undersigned, stipulatins
that the reports when written out shall be
subject to the revision of the speaker. the
Congressional Globe and Appendix" is
now offered 10 the public, not only as an
authentic, but as an off cial report of the
proceeding Of Congress, made under the
eye, and published under the authority Of
that body.
The undersigned originated the mode
of journalixing the proceedings of Con,
gress, which, thus adopted, is to be per-
fected with the aid and under the super
vision of Congress. Their publicsii ion
was the first and only one that gave each
successive step in every measure in both
branches of Congress; a 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, az it is now to be conducted
by them, will be found most perfect pos
litical history. The SeDaiors from the
States and the Represen atives 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 and the
public information, as IL exists among
those they represent, are embodied b)
them; and in the crucible Of Congress
the wisdom of our times is brought to its
test, aud is there concentrated; in direct
ing the political movements Of the whole
country. The impulse thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon
the nation as a whole, and all its compo.
nent parts are made TO move in co-oPera-
tion. The Press cannot be more usefnlly
employ ed than in coudensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence of our
free country, tending to such happy re-
'ults through our almost miraculousiy ad-
usted State and National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
,Ian of advancing the usefulness Of Con
,ress by publishing full and impartial re
'orts, and having large mass OF the
Globe and Appendix"
ssued during the last twelve years, which
yould be impaired in value TO us and util-
y to the public If the woik were discon.
inued, we have double motive to
rompt us to extend ii through a new Sc
les. We are resolved, if possible. to
i've il permaGence, and to hand it down
D successors as a standard work, worthy
being maintained and improved. We
hall enter upon our new undertaking
ithout being distracted or burdened by
ny associate Iabors Of the press; and, thus
nencumbered, shall hope 10 make the new
cries in advance of the former in all
oints Of execution. With view to &C
omplish this, we shall be Zone or the 9th.
~ in attendance on Congress.
The reports will not be affected by our
arty bias. We believe every member of
ongress will bear witness that our re-
,rts are full and fair.
The Congressional Globe is made up of
'e daily proceedings of the two Houses
Congress, and printed on superfne
'uble royal paper, with small type, (bre-
er and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each r
Imber containing sixteen royal quarto
ges. The speeches of the members, in =
is FIRST form are condensed-the full =
port of the prepared speeches being :
served for the Appendix. All resolu =
ms, motions, and other proceedings,
9 given in the form of the Journals,
th the yeas and nays on every impor- :,
Mt question.
The Appendix is made up of the Pre-. r
lents Annual Message, the reports Of =
Q principal officers Of the Government
at accompany it, and all speeches OF
,mbers of Congress, written out or re-
ied by themselves. 1t is printed IN the
me form as the Congressional Globe, and
uaily makes about the aame nun ber OF
ges during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF n
'ession, there is rarely more business
ne than W i'll make two numbers W eek: I
e of the Congressional Globe and Que q
the Appendix; but during the remain. n
r of the session, there 10 usually su1i A
mt matter for two or three numbers e
ch week. The next session will be unu. n
lily interesting; therefore, we calculate 4
It the Congressional Globe and Appen g,
together will make near 1900 large n
,rto pages, printed in small type-bre, y
+ and nonpareil. We furnish complete n,
lexes to both at tie end Of a session. A
Ne have on hand the Congressional Al
,be and Appendix for the last fifteen O.
sioDs of Congress, making together hi
zen large royal quarto volumes, which na
will sell, unbound, for Sal; or bound, of
b Russia backs aud coruers, for S56. Tn
ose who want the back volumes should M
'ly for them Immediately, as they are an
demand. Congress subscribed for 34l is,
nplete sets during the last two sessions. "a
Q proceedings Of Congress for the last Sc
e years cannot be procured from any y
er source-Gales 81 Seaton having M
pped printing their Register of De. fe
es in 1887. n
Ne will endeavor to print a sufficient "a
nber ofsurplus copies to supply all that
y be miscarried, or lost in The mails; ii,
subscribers should be very particular ar
fiIe their papers carefully, for fear that al,
should not be able to supply all the q,
numbers. a.
