THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
yI>HE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of my proposals aud preparations To
spread its debates before the pubic. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II 10
hoped will continue, and enable me 10 perpctuate
the full history the proceedings aud discussions
depends
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBE
an ofci Al 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 fidelity with
which the duty thus conlidcd has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant ulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
uli and exact official reports olihe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE The hasty and in many instanccse1 parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs III Congress
supersede, for the most part, the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, III a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
| Of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their lmperiectons and variety vi colorlngs, take
the run Of the country and press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper give them, and have room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their exstencc. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers TO the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the neccssi-
ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpone suited to the taste Of its patfons,
perfect information OF what passes III Congress IL
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and 1t Id al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
sun there are a great many men OF leisure and
thought who like TO see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive Impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
| the sake OF the future, willingly pauonizea work
which preserves full record of the doings Of tho
great moving and controlling power OF the Re
public.
mensurate with the Increased Importance of the
| duty he has undertaken the only reporter anG
publisher OF the complete debates and proceedings
| OF both Houses OF Congress The coming session
will probably be extended nine mouths, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparcil type,
| making volumes OF near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 97I royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
| siou which has not been done heretofore Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past
| The DAILY GLOBE viii be published during the
session supertinc double royal sheet. II will
| contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
| publishing the daily paper ia to enable Members
TO their remarks in IT, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they published in the
| CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoEGRFssleNAL GLoRE Is made up OF the
| daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on n double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparcl, lii quarto form each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
sometimes condensed the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings are given in the lorn OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question
The APPEsDIx Is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal Oficcrs
of the Government that accompany IL and all
Speeches oi Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. il is printed in the same form
az the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number vi pages during a session.
During the first month or six weeks OF session.
there Is rarely more business done than VIII make
two Numbers weck--one OF & c CONGRESSIONAL
q LoBE and one of the ArPEsDIX; but during the re-
| malnder OF n session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
CLOSE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large qunrto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER aud nonpareil. Complete Indexes 20 both
