| ME approach of Congress calls for tho renew
| Il al Of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public Tho success
w hSc has S htasEt9 SttNnSSd thiSundertakng It
uate the full history Of tho proceedings and dis
cussions of the body ON which the destiny of tho
republic depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLopE
an official character the reporter of all that is
said and done in the body: This sanction has
been voted at Of every successive session for many
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the dcl-
ity with which the duty thus conilded has been
| performed.
Tho great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the telc-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the de-
| bates of Congress, renders moro important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoN4L GLoBE. The hasty-and in many in
stances Ex PARTE-rolatOns by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, in shape moro or less Rbbrevi-
ated, won't tho rounds of the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all thoT imporfoctonS
and variety of colorings, take tho run of tho
country, and no press but the official Of Congress
ever publishes the full debate with the proceed
| ings of both houses unmutilRtcd, Indeed, 90
newspaper can give them and havO room for nd
| vertsements and the miscellaneous matter cssch-
tHl to their existence. While, therefore, tho tel
egrnph administers to the eager appetite of tito
public for Congress news, and meets the nccossi-
ties Of the political press by furnishing u rapidly
eplJOlne bulUcC tuSlD oil It's patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress- ia
| greatly diminished Tho circulation of tho 9TH
cinl reports has beonl to some extent cut oil by
| tho crude and diversified accounts which, flying
along the electric wires, satisfy curiosity and Il
is almost in vain that Truth puts on his boots to
follow. Still there are great many men OF
leisure and thought who like to sec what Is uctI-
| ally said and done in Congress, md to judge Tor
themselves, rather than TO receive impressions al
together from galvnnic batteries There nro 9TH
ers too who, for the sake Of tho futures willingly
Patonize work which preserves full record Of
the doings OF the, great moving and controlling
| power of the republic.
The undersigned has made preparations COM
mensurRtc with the increased Importance of tho
duty he has undertaken the only reporter aud
publisher of the complete debates md proceed
ings of both houses of Congress- The coming
session will probably DO extended nine months,
and the reports will not DO comprised In less
f&U VS. 99OFf Volumes Of noSr 900
pages each. The reports for the last long session
made $500 royal quarto pages, and were bound
each. TO-
will publish in the ApPrSpIx for tho next
session all laws that may be passed during the
session, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase in small degree the
expense of the publication the subscription price
! VIII be the same that II has been for several
| years past.
The DAILY GLoBE will DO published during tho
session on a supcrflne double royal sheet. twill
contain the debates taken down by the ru-
porters and an altered by the Epeakcrs whenever
they make any alterations, the current news Of
object for publishing the daily paper il to enable
members to see their remarks in il and alter
them, II they shall think proper, before they arc
published in the CONOREssIoNAL GLoBE and Ar
PENDIX.
The COSoREssIUNAL GLoBE is made up of tho
daily proceedings Of the two houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper with small
type, (brevier and nonpnreil,) in quarto form
each number containing sixteen royal quArto
pages The speeches Of the members In this first
form arc sometimes condensed, the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
PENDIX All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, arc given in the form Of the journhls
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up Of tho Presidents
eT Of the snS bst ehe principal ON
| all speeches Of members Of Congress- written out
or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in tho
same form as the CoNoREssIoNAL GLoHE, and
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during q session.
During tho frat month or six weeks of A session
there is rarely moro business done than will mako
| two numbers a week-one Of the CoSonEusTonAt
GLoBE and one Of the APPENDIX but durin9 tho
