THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
Tbs approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped will
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 is
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 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, are submitted in proof of its funess, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, page OF notices which are IN
TYPED
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-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, In shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds or 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
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutllated. 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 epitome
suited to the taste Of It's patrons, perfect nforma-
ton of what passes in Congress IL greatly dimin-
| 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
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see what is actually said and done in Con
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
| of the future, willingly patronize 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 tn,
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses Of Congress. The coming ses

day, and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem

form, are sometime conference.-the full report Of
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar

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

Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches Of Members of Congress, written

same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
during a session.
During the first month or six weeks of a SEES
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u week-one OF the CoNGtEs-
SOCIAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX put our

sufficient matter for three numbers OF each
every week. The next session VIII oe unusually
