THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PArER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread IVA
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped viii
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 GI.oBE
an official character the reporter of all THAI 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 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 it's fullness, tar
ness and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are ~
type
for the distant press circulate through the teic-
graph their hurried accounts and views of Inc
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cos
OCCASIONAL GLoBK. The hasty, and in many
instances poyts, relations by telegraph OF what.
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part.
the exact reports taken down by reporters, ana
winch formerly, In shape more or less abhse-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfecons
and variety chickering's, take the run of the couu-
try, and 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 OK
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admns-
ters to the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrten epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimnI-
l ished. The circulation of the Official reports mas
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude an 1
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and It Is almost IN vain
that truth puts on ha boots to follow Still there
are a great many men otlelsure 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 bar
teries. There others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronlze work when
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
i OF both Houses of Congress. The coming ser
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised IN less than 35De
