THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
THE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
| i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
| spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il lie
hoped will continue, and enable me t. 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 hdelty with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
Tor the distant press through the teegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er parts,
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
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
neutrality-suspicious. and variety OF colorings, take
the run OF the country, and no press but the oncaI
| Of Congress publishes the full debate with
| the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and nave room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their cxisence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
L
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
| greatly diminshed The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL ~ the
| crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t 10 al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there 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
galyanic batteries. There are others too, VINO, Tor
the sake Of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings Of the
! great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensuratc 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 3,5OO
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1856 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In volumes, ave-
| raging s74 royal quarto pages each.

sion which hasnot 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 globe will be published during the
session superine double royal sheet. 1t 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,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to ace their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CONGRESSIONAL Globe and APPENDIX.
The CoNeR EssIoNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-,
and printed on q double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil, in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-thc full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN'
| DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed.
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made upof the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
| Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II 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 a session
there is rarely more business done than will make
| two numbers a week-one Of cCosGREssioNAL
GLoBE and one of the ArPEsDix; but during the re-
mainder of 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 CosGREssIoSAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
| 800 large quarto pages printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end of a sessioni

Of surplus copies to supply all that may be miscar.
