, Congressional Globe and Appendix.
CoNGREss at Its last session, through th
Joint Library Committee of the tw,
Houses, having authorized large sub
scription for the Congressional Globe am
.appendir, and the Senate, by resolution
having directed the mode of pre- pairing
the reports of it's proceedings, and aulho
rized the Secretary Of the Senate TO con
tract with the undersigned, stipnlatinf
that the reports when 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, bnt as an official repor, Of the
proceeding of Congress, made under the
eye, and published under the authority OF
that body.
The undersigned originated the mod G
OF Journalizing the proceedings of Con.
gress. which, thus adopted, is to be per-
tecled with the aid aid under the super
vision Of Congress. Their publication
was the first and only one that gave each
successive step in every measure 10 both
branches Of Congress; br!eieof 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 1t is now to be conducted
by them, will be found a ,RestAasFseei pos
lItical history. The Senators from the
States aud the Representatives from eve
ry section Of the Union bring with hem
into Congress knowledge of the feelings
sentiments, and Interests of their several
constituencies. Public opinion aud the
nm li- ,f,, "a i.ts
those they represent, are embodied by
them; and 10 the crucible of Congress
lhe wisdom Of our times is brought TO its
test, and is there concentrated; in direct
ing the political movements of the whole
country. The impulse thus given through
Congress from every quarter react apoh
the nation as whole, and all its comPo-
nent parts are made to move in co>opeta-
li0n. The Press cannot be more usefuili
emplo, ed than in condensing and again
reading abroad the intelligence of our
free country, tending to such happy re
suits through our almost miracnloush al
jusled State aud National institutions.
Having identified ourselves Wl,h the
plan OF advancing the usefulness Of Con,
gress by publishing Iull and impartial re
ports, and having a large mass Of the
Globe aud Appendix
issued during the last twelve years. which
" ould be impaired in value TO us aud utill-
Y to The public If the work were dIscun.
inned, we have double motive To
prompt us to extend i, through new Sc
'ies. We are resolved, If posslble, 10
rive ii permaneBce, aud 70 hand i, down
. successors as a standard work, worthy
II being maintained and improved. We
shall enter upon our new Undertaking
without being distracted or burdened b,
my associate labors of the press; and, thu,
Inencnmbered, shall hope TO make the new
eries in advance of the former IN ali
points of execution. With a view To ac
,ompiish this, We shall be Zone or tue 9th
cry IN attendance on Congress.
The reports will not be affected by our
,arty bias. We believe everywemner VI
jungress will bear witness ihsi oar re-
ports are full and fair.
