 The reports will not be affected by party bias We believe that every member of Congress will bear witness that our reports are full and fair The Congressional Globe is made up of the daily proceedings Oi the tive Houses of Congress and printed on supeI6ne double royal paper With smati type, fbreyieT and nonparel) in quatto form, each number containing sixteen royal quart0 pages The speeches of the members, in this form are con dcnsed--the full report of the prepared speeches being reserved in the Appendix. All resolutions, motions, and other proceedings, given in the form of the Journals. with the yeas and nays on every important question.
 The Appendix is made ID Of the Presidents An nual Message, the reports of the principal officers of the Government that accompany it, and all speeches of members of Congress, written out and revised by themselves. It IS printed in the same form as the Congressional Globe and usually makes about the same number of pages during session
