PROSPECTUs FOR "THE GLOBE,"

PROSPEROUS FOR "rHE GLOBE,"
THE CONGR EssIONAL NEwsPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
j renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread it debates before the public. The SUCCESS
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it ia
h0pcd will continue, and enable me to perpctuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
fhs adoption of Congress has given the LOSE
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
aud by members of all parties. The press, too, Of
all parties, has borne testimony to the hdeity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances e1 parfe,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs In Congress
lsperseds for the most part the exact reports ta-
ken down ~ reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorngs, take
the u the country and no press but the official
Of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the procecdings Of both Houses unmutiated. In-
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence While therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congvess news, and meets the necessi :
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF Its patrons
perfect inforrns&cn of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has besatAo some extent, cut OIL BY the
crude and diyea1i&sd accounts which, lying along
the electric wiseD, satisfies curiosity and il is al
most in vain t0ttruth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are u great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done ia Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to rseive impressions altogether from
galyanc battsri3N, There others, too. who, for
the sake Of the fqture, willingly patronizea work
