vTNHE APPROACH or CONGRESS calls for the
L renewal ofmy proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking ii 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
depends ~ u,u -.
an official character the reporter Of all that is
said and'donc in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session Tor 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 con6ded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthc CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eI p0rx
relations by telegraph OF what occurs IN Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
their nperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the Of the country and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiiated. In
deed, no newspaper 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 Congress news, and meets the necessi-
tics of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste of its patrons.
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation oi the official
reports has been, to some extent cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and 1t is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there are a great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from

the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves full record Of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re.

The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurate with the increased importance of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
Twill publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
son which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLoDK will be published during the
session on a superfne double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
70 see their remarks in It, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published in the

The Appendix is nnde up Of the Presidents An

Speeches of Members OF Congress, written out or

about the same number Of pagcs during session.

Inainder of a session there is usual JDNuitcient
matter for two three numbers of each every
