The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-02-12

TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for tho
L renewal ofmy proposals. and preparations to
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable Inc TO perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body ON which the destiny Of the Republic
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter Of all that is
said aud done in tho body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
and by members Of all parties The press, too, OF
all parles has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates Of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and official reports the CoNG
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eI pGrte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
aupcrsedo, for tho most part, the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly. in
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their inperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the Of the country and no press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential To their existencc While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Of the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi
tics Of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste Of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
reports has been, to some extent, cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and 1t is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow:
Still there are great many men a leisure and
thought who like TO see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There 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 Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurac with the increased importance Of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses Of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the Last long session made 1896 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in 4 4volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
siou all laws that may be passed during the
eion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense Of
the publication. the subscription price will be the
same that il has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLonx will be published during the
session superfne double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
crs, and as altered by the speakers, Whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellancous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper 10 to enable Members
To see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shali think proper before they published in the
CosGn EssIoNAL LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoSoRKssIosAL GLosE is made up OF the
daily proceedings OF the two Houses Of Congress.
and printed ON double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil) in quarto form each
number containing SIX teen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form.
sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArYEs-
All resolutions motions, and other proceed |
ings, given in the form Of the Journals, with |
the yeas and nays on every important question
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
Of the Government that accompany IT, and all |
Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written out or |
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL LOBE, and usually makes |
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks of scssioL |
there Ia rarely more business dono than will make
two numbers a week-onc OF { CoSoREseIosAL
g IoBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the
maindcr of n session there is usually sufficient |
matter for two or three numbers OF each every |
week. The next session will he unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSoREssIoSAL
GLosx and APPENDIX together will make at least |
500 largo quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER aud nonparcii Complete Indexes TO both |
will be furnished at the end OF n session.
I will epdcayor to print n sufficient number |
of surplus copies 10 supply all that may be miscar
rcd, on lost in the mas but subscribors should |
be very particular 20 file their papers carefully for
fear that should not be able to supply all the |
lu~t numbers.
IL subscribers shall not be satisfied with the |
work, tho money paid by them for 1t will DC ro- |
funded To them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. l will |
