PROSPECTUS
For the Cong ressionai Globe and Appen-

We issue this Prospectus to srpiise the
p"bhc Of renewed preparations on oar
part 10 publish the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX for the approaching session
and to Intiie subscriptions. The two
Houses having contracted with us for Tie
work, on sch terms as enable us n0w to
make complete repo, Is, TO multiply and
'sshe the numbers in quicker succession
Il all heretofore, and without increasing
Vie price 10 subscribers we hope to make
good return for the liberalty and high
official sanction thus bestowed on the pub
'ication. We shall increase the volume
at least one third beyond the ordlnar,
bulk, and epdeavor TO add to its usefulness
by extending still further its large cir
culatiou.
This last is not the least important point
in the view of Congress. Faithful and
durable rerorkf Of The debates Of the BODY
are OF value 10 proportion to the extent
Of their circulation among the people. II
is in his way that Congress is brought in
to the presence Gifts remote constituents
--that-ll obtains easy access and holds
umtnnnicaton with them from day to
day, and renders the governments really
presentatlve.
Having received from all parties in
Congress the strongest marks OF approba
ton and confidence, in the liberal means
I and permanent contract voted to continue
the work, we shall not be found wanting
in the impartialIy and industry necessary
20 the due fufIment Of the engagement
on our part. The next session wnl task
II a. T. fI,
nected with the undertaking. II will be
distinguished by discussions Of eXtraordi-
nary interest and results uf abiding con-
cern. The war, its origin and conduct by
officers in the cabinet and in the field {,
will furnish subjects of profound inquiry
and considerations. The terms of peace,
the disposition to be made Of COnquests,
the consequences to be drawn from all
that has been done, as affecting parties in
this country, aud especially as bearing on
lhe approaching presidential election,
will open up novel and powerfully opera
ting discussions, rendering the councils
at Washington during the next year as
pregnant Of good or evil to this continent
as those Of Rome were SO the Old World
in the days of her early energy. Such a
field for deliberation aud action was nev
er presented to any previous Congress,
All that has trsnspired, or may hereafter
Iranspire before the close of the appro CHI
ing session of Gong ess, in New Mexico,
in The capital of Mexico, and
the provinces still dependant On it, will
come under the consideration of the next
Congress. Its debates will contain the
history Of the war, and its action deter.
mine Its results, whether they be decided
by arms or diplomacy. And whatever is
developed concerning this vast and inter-
esting matter on the floor Of Congress or
in the Executive messages, will be found
reco ed in the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and
APPENDIX.
The Congressional Globe is made up of
the daily proceedings OF the two Houses
OF Congress, and printed on superGne
double royal paper, with small type,
[breviar and nonpare,l,] in qnarlo form,
eSch number containing sixteen royal
quarto pages. The speeches of the mem
bers, IN this first form, are condensed
the foil report of the prepared speeches
being reserved for the Appendix. All
resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ngs, are given In the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important
question.
Every member W ill have an opportunity
% read his remarks before they are put to
'ress, and after our re, ort if he shall think
/ incorrect.
The appendix is made up of the Presi,
tents annual message, the reports Of the
orlncipal officers Of the government that
accompany it, and all speeches OF mem,
1ers OF Congress, written out or revised
'y themselves. 1t is printed in the same
orm as the Congressional Globe, aud
Usually makes about the same number of
page during a session.
During the FIRST month or six weeks of
session, there is rarely more business
lone than will make two numbers week
-one OF the Cong essional Globe and one
II the Appendix; but during the rem nder
II session, there is usually sufficient
natter for two or three numbers of each
very week. The next session will be
unusually interesting; therefore, we call
'ulate that the Congressional Globe aud
appendix together will make near 5000
arge qnarto pages, printed in small type
brewer aud nonpareil. We furnish
Indexes to both at the end of a
esson.
We will endeavor to print sufficient
lumber o! surplus copies TO supply all that
nay be miscarried, or lost in the mails;
ut subscribers should be very particular
o file their papers carefully, for fear that
'e should not be able TO supply all the
ost numbers.
We have few surplus copies of the
Globe Tor the last session Of
congress, which we will sell for the origi.
al subscription price ST. a copy. We
ave no surplus copies of the Appendix for
hat session.
