THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
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 has
hitherto attended this undertaking it 10 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 de-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLoBE
an official character the reporter Of all that il
said and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted ut every successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties. The press,
too, Of all parties has borne testimony to the hdel
ity with which the duty thus con6ded 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 fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness. ain compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are in
type
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
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 parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
yated, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run Of the coun-
try, and press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the isceaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rnpidly-written epitome

ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimln-
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 1t is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofieisure and thought VINO
like to see WI at is actually said and done in Con-
gress and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teres. 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 COM

The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE ~ made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress-
and printed on a.double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparel,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal qunrto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this first
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
pENp,x. 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, wrtten
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 a session

sion there is rarely more business done than VIII
make two numbers u week-one of the CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX out our
