PROSPECTUS
For the Congressional Globe and Appcn.

II PuuiiC ~ TfueWeo preparations on our
part TO publish the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX for the approaching session,
and TO invite subscriptions. The two
Houses having contracted with US for tie
work, on sch terms as enable us noto 10
make complete reports, TO multiply aud
issue ihesnumbers in quicker succession
than heretofore, aud without increasing
the price to subscribers we hope to make
a good return for the iiberality and high
official sanction thus bestow ed ON the pub
llication. We shall increase he volume
at least one.third beyond the ordinary
bulk, and endeavor to add to its usefulness
by extending still further its large cir
culatiou.
This last is not the least important point
in the view of Congress Faithful and
durable reports Of the debates Of the body
are ofHalue in proportion to the extent
Of their circulation among the people. ii
is in shis way that Congress is brought in
to the presence 0fitsremoie constituents
that II obtains easy access and holds
communication with them from day TO
day, and renders the governments really
1 Representative. .s...,
Having received from all parties in
Congress the strongest marks OF approba
| tion and confidence, in the LIBERAL means
and permanent contract voted to continue
tie work, We shall not be found wanting
in the impaftially and Industry necessary
| 10 the due luifllment of the engagement
on our part. The next session wll task
TO the utmost the best efforts ofihose cons
nected with The undertaking.. 1t will be
distinguished by discussions Of eXtraordi-
nary interest and results of abiding con
cern. The war, its origin and couduct by
officers in the cabinet and in the field,
will furnish subjects of profound inquiry
and consideration. The terms Of peace,
the disposition 10 be made Of conquesis,
the consequences be drawn from all
that has been done, as affecting parties in
this country, and especially as bearing on
the approaching presidential election,
will open up novel and pow erfully opera
ting discussions, rendering the councils
at Washington during the next year as
pr, gnant OF good or evil to this continent
as those Of Rome were SO the Old World
in the days of her early energy. Such a
field for delIberation and action was nev
er presented to any previous Congress,
All that has transplred, or may hereafter
transpire before the close of the approach q
ing session Of Cong, ess, in New Mexico, t
California, IN the capital of Mexico, and a
the provinces still dependant on it, will o
come under the consideration of the next r
Congress. Its sdebates will contain the d
history Of the war, and its action deter. v
mine its results, whe lher they be decided |
by arms or diplomacy. And whatever is i
developed concerning thisyast and inter- {
esting matter on the floor Of Congre or Y
IN the Executive messages, W i'll be found /
recorded in the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE aud o
APPENDIX. c
The Congressional Globe is made up of |
the daily proceedings of the two Houses o
of Congress, and printed on superline a
double royal paper, with small type, Il
BREWER and nonpareil, in quarlo form, v
each number containing sixteen royal t
quarto pages. The speeches Of the mem. b
bers, ia this first form, are condensed l
The full report of the prepared speeches Il
oeng reserved for the Appendix. All P
'esolutions, motions, and other proceed II
ngs, are given In the form of the Journals, a
With the yeas and nays on every important Il
question. il
Every member wi llhave an opportunity ss
o read his remarks before they are put TO te

I incorrect. al
The appendix is made up Of the Presi, G,
ent's annual message, the reports of the Il
officers of the government that Ell
ccompany il, and all speeches OF mems c,
'ers OF Congress, written out or revised Il
" themselves. 1t is printed in the same IN
orm as the Congressional Globe, aud d.
sualiy makes about the same number of tt
'ages during a session. O,
tnO he rel nr ~ ool,e ~
session, there is rarely more business I
one than will make two numbers week b.
-one OF the Congressional Globe and one W
# the Appendix; but during the rem inder D
# session, there is usually sufficient if
natter for two or three numbers of each c,
very week. The next session will be ii
interesting; therefore, we cal, d
.ulate that the Congressional Globe and p
appendix together Will make near 5000 b
arge quarto pages, printed in small type a
and nonpareil. We furnish D
complete Indexes TO both at the end of a a
essloD. :;
We will endeavor to print a sufficient /
lumber OF surplus copies to supply all that S
nay be miscarried, or lost in The mails; d
'ut subscribers should be very particular q
o file their papers carefully, for fear that
We should not be able to supply all the a
ost numbers. a.
We have few surplus copies of the I
Congressional Globe Tor the last session of .,
which we will sell for the origi. n
nal subscription price 81 copy. We =
