NEW SERIES
OF THE
Congressional Globe and Appendix.

CoNGREss at Its last session, through the
Joint Library Committee of the two
Houses, having authorized large snb-
scription for the Congressional Globe and
aPpendir, and the Senate, by resolution,
having directed the mode of pre- pairing
the reports of its pro oce6Uings, and autho-
riZed the Secretary ofthe Senate 10 con.
tract with the undersigned, stipulatine
that the reports lien written out shall be
subject to the revision of the speaker, the
Congressional Globe and Appendix is
now offered to the public, not only as an
authentic, but as an o fiji 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 journalizing the proceedings Of Cons
gress, which, thus adopted is to be per-
tecled 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 in both
branches of Congress; brief of all the
debates; every important vote; and an
Append dix, 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 pos
litical history. The Senators from the
States and the Representatives from eve
ry section of the Union bring with them
into Congress owledge Of the feelings
sentiments, aud interests Of their several
constituencies Public opinion and the
pnblic information, as IT exists among
those they represent, are embodied by
them; and in the crucihle of Congress
the wisdom Of our times is brought to its
test, and is there concentrated; in direct
ing the political movements of the whole
country. The impulfe thus given through
Congress from every quarter react upon
the nation as whole, and all its c0mpo-
nent parts are made to move in co>opera-
ton. The Press cannot be more MS efally
employed than in coudensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence of our
free country, tending To such happy re-
suits through our almost miracnlously adj
justed State and National institutions.
Having identified ourselves with the
plan of advancing the usefulness OF Con-
gress by publishing full and impartial re
ports, and having large mass Of the
Gong ressionai Globe and Appendix, 81
issued during the last twelve years, which |
W ould ba impaired in value to US and ntill
y to the public if the work were discon
luued, we have double motive to
prompt us to extend it ,hrough new Sc.
les. We are resolved, if possible, to
,Ive 1t permaneDce, and to baud ii down
o successors as a standard work, worthy
II being maintained and improved. We
bali enter upon our new undertaking
Without being distracted or burdened by
ny associate labors of the press; and, thu,
bered shall hope to make the new
cries IN advance of the former IN all
oints of execution, With view to so
omplish this, we shall be tone Or tie 9th

The reports win not be affected by our
arty bias. We believe every memoer of
congress will hear witness that oar re-
orts are full and fair,
