The first number of the Appendix will be printed in two or three days. The Appendix will contain the Messages of the President of the United States; the Reports of the heads of the Departments; all the long speeches of the members of both Houses of Congress, written out or revised by themselves; and all Laws and Joint Resolutions which shall be passed during this session.
