THE GL0BE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
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 perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic de-
ponds. T..
The adoption of Congress has giventhe GLOBE
an official character the reporter of all that is
I SAID and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted at every successive session for many
years, ana by members of all parties. The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony the del-
lty with which the duty thus con6ded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, a'e submitted IN proof of It's funess, 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-
GREssiOEAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exacf REPORTS taken down bv renorters, and
winch formerly, III shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfeclions
and variety ofcoorings, Jake the run of the coun-
.
publishes The fuh debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutIlated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential 10 their
isIence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers TO the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress
news, and meets the DecrssItIes of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly epItome
suited to the taste Of It's patrons perfect lnfoma
rion of what passes in Congress ~ greatly timin-
shed. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, To some extent, cut of by the crude and
diversified ACC unts which, flying along the electric
W res, satisfies curiosity, and Il Is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his buos TO follow. Still there
are great many men OF leisure and thought who
like To at is actually said and done IN Con-
gress, and TO Judge for Themselves, rather than 10
receive Expressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronIze work which
preserves full record Of the doings of the great
moving aud controlling power of the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken ms the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and eedings
Of 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

Annual Message. the Reports Of the principal

During the first month or six weeks Of a ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers a week-one Of the CoxeREs-
SOCIAL GLOBE and ore Of the Appendix; bat dur

sufficient matter for two three numbers Of ench
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Cow
