THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEW
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 it is hoped will
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 GLosE
an official character the reporter of all thar rs
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 idcI
ity with which the duty thus con6ded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor or the
work, are submitted in proof Of its fnness, fair-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,

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-
sREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the ey act reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbT--
| waited, went the rounds of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run OF the coni-
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 ex-
istence While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the political
press, by furnishing a rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect lnforma
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dlmln-
ished The circulation of the official reports mas
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfies curiosity, and 1t 10 almost IN VAN
that truth puts 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 10
receive impressions altogether from galvanic bat
teries There are others, too, who, tor the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record Of the dongs of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
| The undersigned has made preparations com

duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
| of both Houses of Congress. The coming see
sion will probably be extended nine months, ant
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350(

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 be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfine double royal sheet 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
day, and miscellaneous matter. Inc man oo,7o'
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them iftneY
shall think proper before they are published IN the
Conversational GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up of the
day proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
and printed on double royal paper, with small
TYNE. (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto 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-
pENpIx. All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedngs, 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
ali 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.
sion. there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u week-one of the CONGRESS
SIGNAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a 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,
cRrssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together Will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type-brever and nonpareil. we furnish
complete Indexes to both at the end OF session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number Of
surplus copies to supply all that may be mlscarried
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
yery particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work. the money paid by them for 1t will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which have been received by them. will give
the subscription price for any previous volumes OF
