THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and iscussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
pends..
The adoption Of Congress has given the GIosE
an official character the reporter of all that rs
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
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 its fullness, tnir
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, page of notices which are IN
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tsie-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Con-
cREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances &c parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the cyl act reports taken down by reporters, anu
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre
waited, went the rounds OF the press Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutiated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited to the of its patrons, perfect nformu-

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 it is almost in
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
gross, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 70
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record Of the doings Of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations COIN
mensurate with the increased importance Of tn,
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming SEES
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35Ut
royal quarto pages Of brewer and nonpareil type
making 4 volumes of near 900 pages each -
royal quarto pages, and were bound in four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the
sion, which has not been done heretofore Al
though 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 GLoK will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as sltersd by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and miscellaneous matter. The main ob,sci
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem.
bers their remarks in it, and alter them ftney
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssuONAI. GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE ia made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quaro
pages The speeches Of the Members, in this FIRST
form, are sometime condsnsed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
PENpIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of seq
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one of the CONGRESS
SIGNAL CLONE and one of the APPENDIX but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
therefore, we calculate that the Cow.
oREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto poges, printed in
small type-brevier and nonparsil. We furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarred,
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
he subscription price for any previous volumes OF
he CONVERSATIONAL GLOBE or the APPENDIX, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
