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 il is hoped w
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic oe-
pends
The adoption Of Congress has given the GrosE
an official character the reporter of all tina, Is
said and done in the body. This sanction mas
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 6oe-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof Of its fullness, tair-
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,

The great celebrity with which the etterwriters
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
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-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances ca parie, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact renorts taken down bv reporters, ana
which formerly, IN shape more or less abhre-
Waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety colorings, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official Of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings ot
both Houses unmutiated. Indeed no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their sx-
| istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admlns-
to the eager appetite of the public for Congress
| news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapdy-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
| lxy
ished. The circulation the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut of by the crude an
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in van
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men of leisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 70
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
| teres. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronlze work when
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
| The undersigned has made preparations corn
mensurate with the increased importance of tn
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming scs
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised in less than 35OC
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type
making volumes of near 800 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 3896
royal uuarto 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 SEES
| 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 he the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY globe will be published during the
session on n superine double royal sheet 1t wal

ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
day, and Miscellaneous matter. The main ob,ec.
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
beers to see their remarks in it, and alter them ifheY
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, tbrevier and nonpareil,) in quurto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches of the Members, in this hrs,
| FORM are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
rrypIx 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.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
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 a ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
| make two numbers II week-one of the CONGRESS
| SOCIAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
| ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF eacn
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GRrssroNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type--brevier and nonparel. we furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end or session.
| We will endeavor to print u sufficient number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be mscarried,
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 AT 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
