be more usefnlly employed than In condensiag and again spreading abroad the intelligence Of our free country, tending to such happy results through our almost miraculously adjusted State and National in stitutions,

 Having identified ourselves with the plaa of ad. yancing the usefulness of Congress by publishing Sil and impartial reports, and having a large mass of the Congressional Globe and ApDcndix' issupd during the last twelve years, which would be- i'm paired in value 10 us and utility to the public if the work were discontinued, we have double mo. tive to prompt us 10 extend t through new series We are resolved ii possible, to give it pcrnanence and to hand it down tO successors as standard Work, worthy of being maintained and improved We shall enter upon our new undertaking without being distracted burened by any associate Iabors of the press; and thus unencumbered shall hore 10 make the new series step in advance'o of the for Def in all points of execution. With view to &C., comphsh this, we shall be tone or the other) in at tendance on Congress

 The reports will not be affected by party bias We believe that every member of Congress will bear witness that our reports full and fair.f{ z The Congressional Globe Is made up of the daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress, and printed supeTfne double royal paper with small type. (brevier and nonpAhel) in quatto form, each number coHtaiWng sixteen royal quarto pages. The speeches of the members in this form are con. densed--tbe full report of the prepared speeches being reserved in the Appendix. All resolutions motions, and other proceedings, are given in the form of the Journals. with the yeas and nays on every important question.

 The Appendix IS made up of Inc Presidents An nual Message, the reports of the principal officers of the Government that accompany it, and all speeches of members of Congress, written out and revised hy themselves. It is printed in the same form as the Congressional Globe and usually makes about the same number of pages during a session Durng the last month or six weeks of a session there is rarely business done than will make two numbers week--one of the Congressional Globe and one of the Appendix; but during the re- mainder of session. there is usually sufficient mat ter for two or three numbers of each every week The next session will be unusually Interesting; therefore calculate the Congressional Globe and Appendix together will make near 1900 large quar- to pages, printed III small type-brever and nonpa- riel. We furnish complete indexes to both nt the end of a session.

 We have on hand the Congressional Globe and Appendix for the last I5 sessions of Congress- ma king together lj large quarto volumes, which we sell, unbound, for SIl, or bound with Russia backs and corners. for S56 Those who want the back volumes should apply for them immediately as they are in demand. Congress subscribed for 34I com piete sets during the two last sessions. The pro. ceedihgs of Congress iorthe last nine years cannot be procured from any other source-I ,aes and Sea- ton having stopped printing their hegisteI of De- bates in 1857.

 We will endeayor 10 print sufficient number of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarred, or lost in the mails; but subscribers should be very particular 10 file their papers carefully for fear that we should not be able tc supply aH the lost num- bers.
