THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

PAPEk.
! 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 is 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 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. Thepress,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the de-
ity with which the duty thus conhded 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 funess, fair
ness, and usefulness. l am compelled to omit,
for want OF room, page OF notices which are III

The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph. their hurried accounts and views of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
eyer the full and official reports of the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er 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 a shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety OF coorings, take the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
J publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential TO their ex-
istence. While, therefore, heteegraph admins
tiers 10 the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
: news, and meets the necessities Of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-writen epitome
suited to the of its patrons, perfect informa-
tion of what passes in Congress IS greatly dimln-
ished The circulation Of the official reports has

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 oflesure and thought who
like TO see what is actually said and done IN Con-
gcess, and to judge for themselves, rather than 10
/. receiys Impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronize work which
l. preserves full record Of the dongs Of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic

mensurate with the increased Importance OF tn,

publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
