THE CLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL MEMS
PAPER

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread us
debates before The public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped wi
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the fu
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GlosE
an official character as the reporter of all that rs
said and done in the body. This sanction mas
been voted at every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties. The preas,
TOO, of all parties has borne testimony to the bac
ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor OF tne
work are submitted in proof of Its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, a page of notices which ars IN

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the feie-
graph their hurried accounts and views OF Inc
debates of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full aud exact official reports of the Cox
GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances pa1fe, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana

Waited went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfecuons
and variety chickering's, take the run of the conn-
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutated. 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 a rapidly written epitome
suited to The taste of It's patrons, perfect norma-

CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and ApPENDIx
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up OF the
da;lv proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
TYNE. (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarlo
pages. The speeches of the Members, IN this hrst
form, are sometime condensed--the full report or
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pENp,x All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceednps 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 1t, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed IN the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
during session.
Durng the first month or six weeks OF a Seq
sion, there is rarely more business done than VIII
