THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS.
lHE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
OF my proposals and preparations to spread lis
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
coh'inue' ana enable me to perpetuete the full
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
me 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
peeh 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 fdel-
ity with which the duty thus conided has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor of the
work, are submitted in proof of it's fullness fair
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit
ior want OF room, page of notices which are in
type.
The great celerity with which the Ietter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates or Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow
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 bv reporters and
winch formerly, In shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety ofcoorings, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
ooth Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
lstence 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. rapidy-written epitome
suited TO the taste OF Its patrons, perfect nforma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished. The circulation fthe official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which. flying along the electric
w.res, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofseisure and thought who
like TO see what is actually said and done in Con-
receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat
terles. There are others, too, who, for the sake
OF the future, willingly patronize a work which
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic

The DALr GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t will

for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem

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, (brevier and nonpareiI,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
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.
PENDIx. 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
thuuuai ANAcSSuSCS VIC 1NcpOCtb OI tDc principal
Officers Of the Government that accompany ii, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed in the
same form the CONVERSATIONAL GLOBE, and |
usually makes about the same number Of pages
during q sesslo
During the first month or six weeks of a ses- |
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week--one of the CoNcREs-
sIoEAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder Of session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two three numbers of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
therefore, we calculate that the Con-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will

complete Indexes to both at the end Of a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number
surplus scopes to supply all that may be miscarried
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.

work, the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numh hers
which have been received by them. ] will give
