Secretary Of the Senate 10 contract with the under
signed, stipusiing that the reports when written
out shall be subject to the revision Of the Speakers,
the Congressional Globe and Appendix is now Of

4 The undersigned originated the mode Of Journal
Z ixing the proceedings of, Congress, which, thus
adopted, is TO be perfected with the aid and under
the supervision Of Congress. Their publication
was the first and only one that gave each successive
step In every measure in both branches Of Congress


brief OF all the debates; every important vote and
an appendix including at full length all the revised
speeches delivered during the session. ~


The work, as it is now TO be conducted by them
will be found most perfect political history. The
senators from the States, and the representatives
flom every section Of the tnion, bring with them
into Congress a knowledge Of the feelings, senti-
ments and interests Of their several constituencies
Public opinion and the public information as it ex-
-
them; and in ths,crucible Of Congress the wisdom
Of our times is brought 70 its test and there con-
centrated, in directing the political movements Of
the whole country. The impulses thus given through
Congress from every quarter, react upon the nation
as whole, and all its component parts are made to
move in cooperation. The press cannot be more
usefully employed than in condensing and again
spreading abroad the intelligence Of our free coun-
try, tending to such happy results through, our al
most miraculously adjusted State and national nsti-
tutions. a. ptia
~ Having identified ourselves with the plan Of ad-
vancing the usefulness Of Congress by publishing
full and impartial reports, and having large mass
Of the Congressional Globe and Appendix, issued
during The last twelve years, which would be impair
ed in value 10 u.s. and utility to the public, if the
) work were discontinued, we have double motive
to prompt us to extend itthrough new SERIES We
'ars resolved if possibe,t give it permanence, and
10 hand il down to successors as standard work,
p worthy Of being maintained and improved. We
shall enter upon our new undertaking without being
distracted burdsned by any associate abors Of the
press and, thus unencumbered, shall hope to make
the series step in advance Of the former in all
points Of execution With "a view to accomplish
this, we shall be Gone or the other) in attendance

i The Congressional Globe is made up Of the daily
proceedings of the two hsuses Of Congress, and
printed on superfne doubleroyal paper, with small
atyps, (breyier and nonparel) in quarto form each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. The
speeches of the members, in this first form are con-
densedthe full report Of the prepared speeches be-
ing reserved for the Appendix. All resolutions,
motions, and other proceedings, are given in the
form Of the Journal, with the yeas and nays on
every IMPORTANT question. iA|


The Appendix is made up Of the Presidents an
nual message the reports Of the principal officers Of
Of members Of Congress, written out 81 revised by
themselves. II Is printed in the same form as the
Congressional Globe, and usually makes about the
same number Of fpages during session.
n DurfDg the first month or six weeks Of session,
Tiers il rarely more business done than will make
two Numbers week--one Of the Congressional
Globe and one Of the Appendix; but during the re-


ainder OF session, there ID usually sufficient mat
ter for two or three numbers Of each every week
The next session will be unusually interesting;
therefore, we calculate that the Congressional Globe
and Appendix together will make near 1900 large
quar,o pages, printed in small type. We furnish
complete indexes to both at the end Of session.
4 We have on hand the Congressional Globe and
Appendix for the last fifteen sessions Of Congress,
making together fifteen large royal quarto volumes,
which we will sell, unbound Tor Sal OF bound,
with Russia backs and corners, for $50. Those
Z who want the back volumes should apply for them
Immediately, as they are in demand, Congress
subscribed for 34l complete during the two last
sessions The proceedings Of Congress for the last
nine years cannot be procured from any other
