THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations TO spread ia
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking II is hoped vii
continue, and enable me TO perpetuete the full
history OF the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de
Ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter of all that ID
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 del-
ity with which the duty thus conf4 ed has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, aie submitted IN proof of its fulness, 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 elter-writers
Tor 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 &c parie, relations by telegraph of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, in shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfeclons
and variety of colorngs, Jake the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings Of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and The miscellaneous matter essential To their eX-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities Of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epilome
suited to the taste of Its patrons, perfect nforma
ton OF what passes IN Congress greatly dmn-
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 II is almost IN VAIN
that truth puts on his b"ots TO follow. Still there
are great many men OF leisure and thought who
like to see W at is nc ually said and done in Con-
gress, aud TO judge for themselves, rather than
receive Expressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, tor the sake
OF the future, willingly raronlze 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 the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
or both Houses of Congress. The coming
sion will probably be extended nine months, and
the reports will not be comprised IN less than $500
royal quaro pages of brewer and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 900 pnges each =

ers, and sllered by the speakers, whenever they
make any attentions; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous natter. The main object
for publishing the daily papei is, To enable Mem
bers 10 see their remarks IN II and alter hem ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssioNAL GLOBE end ApPENpM.
The CoNGRt ssio>AL 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 nonparell, } in qOnrto FORM
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed--the full report of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PENDIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany II, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. Ii is printed in the
same form as the CoNGREssioNAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during a SEES ion.
During the first month or six weeks Of a SEES
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers a week-one of the CoNGREs-
SOCIAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX but dur
ing the remainder OF session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually !
therefore, we calculate that the Con-
eREssIoNAL Cir BE and APPENDIX together will |
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brever and nonpareil. We furnish |
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session. |
We will endeavor to print sufficient number o |
surplus copies TO supply all that may be mscarrled
or lost IN the mails but subscribers should be |
very particular to ie their papers carefully, for
fear that we 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
