THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.

HE WLVDL-AnE VONGHkNSIVNAL NEWH-
PAPER.
The approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before The public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption OF Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter of all that is
said and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties. The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the fdel
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, page of notices which are in
type.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances ca pare, relations by telegraph Of W hat
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports uken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, In a shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
| telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no ne wspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
| press, by furnishing rapidly-wrilten epiome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect nforma-
of hat
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
res, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofeisure and thought who
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and TO Judge for themselves rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
OF the future, willingly patronze work which
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased importance of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
or both Houses Of Congress. The coming ses-
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quario pages of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 pnges each :
royal quarto pages, and bound in four vol
| umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each.

SION, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase IN small degree the
expense Of the publication, the subscription price

ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
day, and miscellaneous matter The main object
for publising the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to their remarks in it, and alter them fthey
shall think proper before they published in the
| CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoSGRussioNAL GLoBE is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in qusrto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches OF the Members, in this first
form, sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
PENprx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedngs, are given in the form of the Journals
with the yeas and nays on every important ques
ton.
The AprESDrx is made up of the President
Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches Of Members of Congress, written
out revised by themselves. Ii is printed in the
same form the CoscREssIosAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of a ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers n week-one OF the CoHeREs-
sIowAI GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX but dur
| ing the remainder OF session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
|
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and noDpareil. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surpuscopies to supply all that may be miscarried
| or lost IN the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
/ which have been received by them. ] will give
the subscripton price for any previous volumes OF
the CoNeREsSoNAL GLoBE or the APpEsDIx, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
