THE GLOBE-TAE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
/ PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
Of my proposals and preparations to spread us
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-
ponds. .
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 fdei
| ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
| dom from the general expression In favor or the
work. are submitted in proof of its flllness, ialr-
| ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page OF notices which are Ia
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 oft Con-
eREssIoNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and in many
instances eT parte, relations BY telegraph OF what
| occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
/ the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
winch formerly, IN shape less abbre-
/ waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
| telegraph accounts, Win all tnef LhpcIlcCuoh7
and variety ofcolorings take the run Of the coun-
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 public for Congress
/ news and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-wriiten .epitome
suited to the taste Of its patrons, perfect informa
ton Of what passes in Congress Is greatly dmin-
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 IL is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots TO follow Stll 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
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronlze work which
preserves full record OF the doIngs OF the great
moving and controlling power Of the Repabln
The undersigned has made Preparafioos com
