THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread I's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking il 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 de-
pends.'
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character as 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 fde-
ty with which the duty thus cOnfided 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, fair
| ness and usefulness. l am compelled to omit,
| for want of room, page OF notices which are IN
type.
| for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cox
| cREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances ca parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress. supersede, for the most part.
| the exact reports taken down by repOrters, and
| which formerly, IN shape more or LEES abbre-
| Waited went the rounds OF the press. Now the

and variety OF oOrngs, tnke the run of the cOun-
lry and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
| both Houses unmutilated. 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
ters to the enger appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press by furnishing rapidly written epltome
suited to the taste of its patrons perfect lnforma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dim'n-
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 1t Is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men Ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see wi at is actually SAID and done IN Con
sress 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 dongs of the great
moving and controlling power OF the Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance OF tn,
