THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER. n.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations 10 spread It's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it IL 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,t.,
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoBE
an official character as the reporter Of all that n
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, all parties has borne testimony to the fdel
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work, 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. ,3Nsal.i.l -.t...'' h'g N's HN'H
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
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-
aREssIoNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exactreports 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 imperfections
and variety chickering's, take 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 unmutiaed. Indeed, no newspaper
| can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the misc aneous matter essential 10 their ex-'
istenceg w lille, therefore, the telegraph sdmnsa
tiers the eager appetite OF the public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a npdly-written epitome
suited TO the taste of ITS patrons, perfect inforna

diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
W res, satisfies curiosity, and 1t Is almost IN vain
that truth puts on hir boots to follow, Std there
are great many men oflelsure and thought who

pages. The speeches Of the Members, in this first

the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ap4'

sufficient matter for two or three Numbers of each

interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
OCCASIONAL GLoBE and ArPENpU together will
make at least $500 large quarto peees, printed in

complete indexes 10 both al the end Of session
