rRE GLODE--THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
TAG approach of Congress calls for the renewal
d my proposals and preparations to spread Ts
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
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 GLosk
an official character as the reporter of all tina; Is
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 press,
too, OF all parties has borne testimony to the toei-
ity with which the duty thus con6ded 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 fullness, talr
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tc,c-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
the full and exact official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eyact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, IN shape more or lesa abbrs-

telegraph accounts, with all their imperfecuons
and variety Of oorings, 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 unmutilatcd. Indeed, no newspaper
| can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their sx-
islence While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tere to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
| press, by furnishing rapdly-written epitome
suited to the taste of it's patrons, perfect nformu
ton of what passes in Congress- III greatly diniIn-
ished. The circulation of the official reports has
| been, to some extent, cut off by the crude an /
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
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
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preservesa full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations corr
mensurate with the increased Importance of tn
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming see
| sion will probably be extended nine months,
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35U
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil tyne
making 4 volumes of near 900 pages each -
The reports for the last long session MADE $3.50
royal quarto pages ana were pound IN rour vol
