PROSPECTUS.
FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND
APPENDIX.


the public Of renewed preparations on
Our part 10 publish the CONGRESSIONAL
GLosn and APPENDIX for tho approaching
session, and TO invite subscriptions The
two Houses having contracted with us Tor
the work, on such terms as enable US now
10 make complete reports, TO multiply and
issue the numbers in quicker succession
than heretofore, and without increasing the
price TO subscribers, we hope TO make
good return for the libera)ity and high OH
cial sanction thus bestowed Oh the pub.ea-
tisn. We shall increase the volume at least
oneAhird beyond the ordinary bulk, and en-
,4doayor 10 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 du-
rable reports ofthe debates Of the body are
ofvalue in proportion TO tho extent OF their
circulation among the people. II is in this
way that Congress isbrought into the presence
ofits remote constituence-- it obtains "a.
~ access and holds communication with
them from day TO day, and renders the gov
efnmsnt really representative.
Having received from all parties in Con-
gress the strongest marks Of appreciation and
confidence, in the liberal means and perma-
nent contract voted 10 continue the work,
we shall not be found wanting in the Impair
taliiy and industry necessary TO the due
fulflInent Of the engagemsnt on our part.--
The next session will task to the utmost the
best efforts of those connected with the un-
dertakihg. II will be distinguished BY dis
cussions Of extraordinary interest and re-
sulisof abiding concern. The war, ITS orr
pin and conduct by officers in the cabinet
and in the field, will furnish subjects Of pro-
found inquiry and consideration. The
terms Of peace, the disposition 10 be made OF
conquests, the consequences TO be drawn
from all that has been done, as affecting par
ties in this country, and especially as boar
ing on the approaching presidential election,
will open Up novel and powerfully operating
discussions, rendering the councils al Wash
ing,on during The next year as pregnant OF
good or evil 10 this continent as those Of
Romo wero TO the Old World in the days
of her early energy. Such field for de-
liberation and action was never presented %
any previous Congress. All that has trans
pirsd, or may hereafter transpire before tho
close Of the approaching session ofConsress,
in New Mexico, California, in the capital
ofMexico, and tho provinces still depend
ont on il, will come under the consideration
of the noxr Congress. Ito debates will con-
tain the history of the war, and its action
determine ito results, whether they be decl-
ded by arms or diplomscy. And whatever
is developed concerning this vast and inter
cstinr matter on me floor of Congress or in
the Executive messages, will be found recor-
ded in the CoNeRHssIoNAL GLoDE and ArRN-
DIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE is mado up OF
the daily proceedings Of the two Houses OF
Congress, and printed on super6ne double
royal paper, with small type (brsvisr and
noHpareil,) in quarto form, each number con-
taininc sixteen royal quarto pages. The
speeches of the members, in this first form,
are condensed--the full report OF tho pre-
pared speeches beingreserved for the AprEN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other
proceedings, are given in the form ei the
Journals, with the yeas and nays on every
important question.
Every member will have an opportunity
TO read his remarks before they are put 20
press, and alter our report il hs shall think II
incorrect. i'2
The APPENDIX is made mp oi the Presl-
dents annual message, tho reports OF
principal officers Of the government that ac-
company il, aud all the speeches OF tho men,
bers of Congress, written out or revised by
themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
ma the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually
makes about the same number OF pages du-
ring the session.
During the first month or six weeks Of
session, there is rarely more business done
than will make two numbers week-one OF
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and one OF the
Appendix; but during the remainder OF a
session, there is usually sufficient matter ior
two or three numbers Of each every week.
The next session will be unusually interest
inp: therefore we calculate that the CON-
GaEssroxAL GLOBE and ArrErDIK together
will make:nearly 1900 large quario pages,
printed in small type-brevier and nonpar-
ell. We furnish complete iudexes TO ootf
at the end Of q session.
We will endeavsr to print suihclen'
number OF surplus copies to supply al 'hat
may be miscarried, or lost in the mails; ou'
subscribers should be very particular to tle
thoir papers carefully, for fear that we should
not be able to supply all the lost numbers.
We have few surplus copies OF the Con-
oressioual Globe for the last session OF Gen.
2 eress, which we will sell for the original
5 Subscription prce-$l copy. We have
no surplus copies ofshe Appendix ior 'ha'
session.
