THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPcR-
THE approach of Congress- calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread its
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuete 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 del
| ity with which the duty thus con6ded has been
| performed. The annexed notices, taken at ram
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof of its fullness, fair
| ness, and usefulness l am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are in

for the distant press circulate through the tele-
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 parfe, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official Of Congress ever
publishes the fun 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, the telegraph admins
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-writien epitome

ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimin-
ished The circulation ofthe official reports has
been, to some extent, cut of by the crude and
diversified accounts which. flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and IL is almost in vain
that truth puts his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofIeisure and thought who
like TO see wi at 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 patronlze work which
preserves full record OF the dongs Of the great
| moving and controlling power OF the Republic.

the reports will not be comprised IN less than $500
