PAPER.
The approach Of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread Tvs
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate 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. The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the hdel-
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 its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want Of room, page of notices which are in
type!
The great celebrity with which the letter-wrters
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-
cREssloNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances parte, relations by telegraph or what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now ths
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 full 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 admlnis-
tiers to the eager appetite for Congress-
news and meets the necessities Of the political
press. by furnishing rapidly-written epitome
suited to The taste of it's patrons, perfect nforma-
ton of what passes in Congress Is greatly dimin-

diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and IT IS almost IN VAN
