THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TlNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal Of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it s
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.
an official character 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 cOnfidcd has been performed.
The great Celerity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
fu and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er parfe,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supcrsede, for the most part the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters. and which formerly, IN
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorings take

decd no newspaper can 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-
ties Of the political PRESS by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste OF its patrons.

greatly diminished. The circulation oil the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along

Still there great many men OF leisure and

mensurate 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 9OO pages each Ihe
reports for the last long session made 3Syb royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal Quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs
sion all laws that may be passed during ,he ses
sion, 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 will be published during the
session on a superfine double royal sheet. IL will
contain the debates 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 Is to enable Members
TO see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL & LONE and APPENpIx
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE Is made up oil the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpare) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPES
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings. are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question.
The APPESDIx is made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Ohlcers
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the came form
the Conc REssIoNAL lobe, and usually makes
about the saine number Of pages during session.
During the fret month or ak weeks Of a session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-onc of CosGRKssIoSAL
GLoBE and one Of the ArPKnDix; but during the re-
Inalnder OF a 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
GLoEg and APPENDIX together viii make al least
4 $40 large qusrto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes TO both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.
l will endcavor to print sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar-
ried, or lost in the mails but subscribere should

fear that should not be able to supply all the
