part TO publish the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX for the approaching session,
and TO invite subscriptions. The two
Houses having contracted with us for the
work, on sch terms as enable us nose TO
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 liberalty and high
official sanction thus bestow ed on the pub

at least one third beyond the ordinary
bulk, aud eDdeavor TO add to its usefulness
by extending still further its large cir
culatioa.
This last is not the least important point
in the view of Congress. Faithful and
durable reports of the debates ofthe BODY
are OF value in proportion TO the extent
Of their circulation among the people. IL
is in This way that Congress is brought in-
to the presence ofits remote constituents
] that il obtains easy access and holds
communication with them from day to
day, and renders the governments really
representative.
Having received from all parties in
Congress the strongest marks OF approba.

and permanent contract voted to continue
the work, we shall not be found wanting
in the impartially and industry necessary

this country, and especially as bearing on
the approaching presidential election,
will open up novel and powerfully opera

ing session of Congress, in New Mexico,
California, in the capital of Mexico, and
the provinces still dependant on il, 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
recorded in the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and
