THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER
PfHyIIE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the |
VI renewal Of my proposals and preparations to
scad its debates before the public. Ihe success
th has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t Is
ld will continue, and enable me TO perpctuato
Nc full history of the proceedings and discussions
Yof the body on which the destiny oil the hepuDhc
depends.
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 ut every successive session for many years,
aud by members of all parties. The press, too OF
all parties has borne testimony TO the hdclty WIN
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The Great celerity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the ueoates OF
Congress- renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances e1 Pdrfe,
relations by tclegraph'of what occurs IN Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports Ia
ken down bv reporters, and which formerly, III
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
sheir iInperfectons and variety OF coloringe, take
the run of the country and press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the iuil ueDate Win
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated In
deed, newspaper can give tnei' ana nave room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential 10 their existence. While therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Oh the
public for Congress news, and meets Inc necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnshing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF It's patrons,
perfect information of what passes In Congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation oil the ofhcial
rcports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
,r,de and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curlosty, and IL Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots TO 'oiiow
Still there arc great many men OF icsu'o anu anu
thought who like to what is actually said ana
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether rom
calvanc batteries. There are others, too who ior
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record OF the dolngs OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the ne
public.
T'be undersigned has made preparations com
rnensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than 3,ooo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareii type,
making volumes of near 900 pages eaoh: Inc
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in a volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
.on. which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price VIII be inc
samo that it has been for several years pass; ,o
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfine double royal sheet. 1t Will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
crs and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable members
TO see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are pubiishcd IN the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE ID made up Oh tne
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare, in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this frst form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report oil the
prepared speeches being reserved for the AfPEN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form ol the Journals, win
the yeas and nays on every important question:
The APPENDIX is made upot the presidenrs U.s. An.
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal ofhcers
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the same iorin
the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually mahes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF q session,
there ia rarely more business done than VIII MAKE
two numbers a weck-onc Of Il CoNGREssioNAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re,
Inainder of q session there ia usually sunlclent
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNGREssloNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type.

of surpus copies to supply all that may be miscar
