THE GLOBE-TAE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.
The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread lIs
debates before the public. The success which mas
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 ae-
ponds.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GrosE
an official character the reporter of all that 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 hdei
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken al rnn-
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
type r.., ..,.r;,v with which IN ,.,,r,wr;,era
for the distant press circulate through the tsic-
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 er parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eyact reports taken down by reporters, anu
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abbrc-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectlons
and variety OF coorings take the run of the coun-
trv and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmuulated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-wrltten epitome
suited to the taste Of its patrons, perfect nformn-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimu,-
ished The circulation of the official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfies curiosity, and it Is almost in VAIN
that truth puts on his boots to follow Still there
are a great many men ofleisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done IN Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than TO
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize a work when
preserves full record of the doings Of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations con-
mensurate with the increased Importance OF tn

session on a superfine double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers. and as stered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the
dav. and miscellaneous matter. The main ob'ecl
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable M EN-
hers to see their remarks it, and alter them tney
shall think proper before they are published IN the
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
tyne. (brever and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, IN this hrst
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved FOR the Ar-
pENp,x. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedines, 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, anu
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 or pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF a scs-
sion. there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one of the CoNGREs-
SIGNAL 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 DE unusually
therefore, we calculate that the CON-
cREssIoNAI GLOBE and APPENDIX together Will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type-brevier and nonparell. we furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number OF
surpusc copies to supply all that may be mscarred,
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 all the
lost numbers. =,
