M = issue this Prospectus TO apprise the pub
w lie OF renewed preparations on our pars
to publish the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE aud APPEN-
DIX for the approaching session, and TO invite
suoscripti ons. The two houses having coutrac-
ted with for the work, on such terms as enable
us 1O'0 to make complete reports, TO multiply and
issue the numbers in quicker succession than
heretofore, and without increasing the price 10
subscribers, we hope TO make a good return for
the liberalIty and high official sanction thus be-
slowed on the publication. We shall increase
the volume at least one-third beyond the ordiIia-
~ bulk, and endeavor to add to its usefulness
by extending still further its large circulation.
This last is not the least important point in the
view OF Congress Faithful and durable Reports
OF the debates Of the body Of valus in proper
Iiol to the extent of their circulation among the
people. 1t is in this way that Congress is brought
into the presence of its remote consIituents-that
it obtains oasy access and holds communication
with Them from day to day, and renders the gov
eminent really representative.
Having received from all parties in Congress
the strongest marks Of appreciation and conf
dence, in the liberal means and permanent con-
tract voted u continue the work, we shall be
not be found wanting in the impartiality and i'm
dustry necessary TO the due fulh!ment of the
engagement en- cur part The next session will
task TO the utmost the best eots Of those connec-
ted with the undertaking. II viii be distinguish
ed By discussions OF extraordinary interest and
| results of a hiding concern. The war, its origin
md conduct of Officers in the cabinet and in the
field, will furnish subjects of profound inquiry
ana consideration. The terms of peace, tue dis
position to be made of conquests, the consequences
to be drawn from all that has been done as affec-
ting parties in this country, and especially as
bearing OH the approaching presidential election,
will open up norel and powerful operating dis

during the next year as pregnant of good or evil
TO This continent as those of Rome were TO tbs
Old World in the days OF her early energy Such
held for dellberaiiOn and action was never pre-.
sented to any previous Congress. All that has
transplred, or may hereafter traGsp;re before the
close OF the approaching session of Congress in
New Mexico, California and the capital Of Mex
leo, aud the provinces still dependent on il, will
| come under the considerations of the next Con-
gre:s Its debates will contain the history Of The
war, and us action determine its results, wheth-
or they be decided by diplomacy. And what
ever is developed concerning this vast and inleres-
ting matter on The floor of Congress or lii the Ex-
ecu!ive messages, will be found in the Co NoREs-
