THE GLOEE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER


TnE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread lls
debates before The public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking is hoped wIil
continue, and enable me TO perpetuste the rull
history Of the proceedings and discussions of rne
body on which the destiny of the Republic ae-
pends
an official character as 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 hdcI
Ivy with which the duty thus conLded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at
dom from the general expression in favor of the
work, are submitted in proof of it's iullness, FAIR
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled 10 omit,

The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-writcrs
for the distant press circulate through the tere-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the
debates of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and official reports OF the Con-
aREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances en- pdrie, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters,
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 Of coorlngs, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the fun debate with the proceedings or
| both Houses unmuulated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for Advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential 20 their
isience. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
lers to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities OF the polIticai
PRESS by furnishing rapidly-written epitome
suited to the taste of It's patrons, perfect informu-
lion of what passes in Congress is greatly dimli-
shed. The circulation of the official reports has
BEEN to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
W res, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
