1 I1ppeRdic, aud the SENATE, by resolution,
hayifg directed the mode OF pre- pairing
tie reportsofits proceedings, and autho-
rized the Secretary Of the Senate TO con.
tract with the undersigned, stipuIatine
that the repurts when writtenout sha be
subject 10 the revision Of the speaker, the
',Congr essional Globe and Appendix" is
now ohered.to the public, not only as an
authentic, but as an ofli ciaI report of the
proceeding Of Congress, made under the
eye, and published under the authority OF
! that body.
| The undersigned originated the mode
of jourDalizing the proceedings of Con>
gress, which, thus adopted, is TO be per-
tecied 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 10 both
bran ches of Congress; briet 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 il is now to be conducted
by them, will be found most perfect po-
lttical history. The Senator'S from the
States and the Represent atiyes from eve
ry section Of the Union bring with them
into Congress knowledge of the feelings
sentiments, aud interests Of their several
constituencies Public opinion aud the
public Information, as 1t exists among
those lhey represent, are embodied by
them; aod in the crucibe Of Congress
the " isdom Of our times is brought to its
test, aud is there concentrated; IN direct
,uor al ,,yt \ ,l,l
country. The impul'e thus given through
Congress from every quarter reac upon
the nation as a whole, and all It's compo.
nent parts are made to move IN co.opera-
zion. Tie Press cannot be more use(ully
employed than in condensing and again
spreadi G abroad the intelligence OF our
free country, tending to such happy re-
suits through our almost miracnlously ad-
usted St.te and National Institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
1lan of Advancing the usefulness OF Con.
,ress by publishing full and impartial re-
,orts, and having large mass Of the
Cong ressional Globe aud Appendix,
ssued during the last twelve years, which
would be impaired in value to us aud utili
y to tie public If the work were discon.
lnned, we have double motive to
,rompt us to extend it through new Sc
les. We are resolved, if possible, to
i've it permaneuce and to hand il down
o successors as standard work, worthy
# being maintained and improved. W.
hall enter upon our new undertaking
Without being distracted or burdeued by
my associate labors of the press; and, thu.
shall hope 10 make The new
cries in advance Of the former in all
points Of execution. With view to ac
,ompllsh this, We shall be tone or the 9th
er) in attendance on Congress-.
The reports will not be affected by our
,arty bias. We believe every member of
congress will hear witness that our re.
'orls are full and fair.
The Congressional Globe is made up OF
he daily proceedl sof the two Houses /
I Congress, and printed on superiine I
oubie royal paper, with small type, (bfe 5
icr and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each d
amber containing sixteen royal qnarto ,
ages. The speeches Of the members, in I
MS first form are condensed--the full
eport of the prepared speeches being u
served for the Appendix. All resou a
uns, motions, and other pIo eedngs, o.
re given in The form Of the JournaIs,
iIh the yeas and nays on, every lmpor-
mi question.
The Appendix is made up of the Pre-
dents Annual Message, the reports OF
re principal officers of the Government =
rat accompany it, aud all spec ches OF
embers of Congress, written out or re- \
sed by themselves. 1t is printed IN the II
lme form as the Congressional Globe ,and
sually makes about the same nun Der OF
lges during session. r
During the first month or six W eeks OF A
session, there is rarely more business "
one than will make two numbers week.
ne of the Cong ressional Globe and Que /;
the Appendix; but during the remain-
er of the session, there is usually suai Il
lent matter for two or three numbers 81
ach week. The next session will be unu- b
Tally interesting; therefore, we calculate "
lat the Congressional Globe and Appen P
tx together will make near 1900 large /,
narto pages, printed in small type-bre> A
er and nonpareil. We furnish complete R
indexes TO both at end Of session. I
We have on hand the Congressional N
lobe and Appendix for the last fifteen V
sssions of Congress, making together h
tteen large royal quarIo volumes, which b
g vi i'll sell, unbound, for SAL; or bound S
ilh Russia backs and corners, for S56 l.
hose who want the back volumes should R
pply for them immediately, as they are W
demand. Congress subscribed for 3ll II
omplete sets during the last two sessions. S,
he proceedings OF Congress for the last
inc years cannot be procured from any N
lher source-tiales 81 Seaton having $,
opped printing their Register of De.
ates in 1887. II
We will endeavor to print sufficient G
umber surplus copies to supply all that
ay be miscarred, or lost in The mails; Il
at subscribers should be very particular Il
} file their papers carefully, for fear that ii
e should not be able to supply all the m
'st numbers.
