ME approach of Congress calls for the renew
n al Of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. Tho success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il
is hoped will continue, and enable me to perpet-
uate the full history of the proceedings and dis
Oussions Of the body ON which the destiny of the
republic depends.
Tho adoption of Congress has given the GLosx
an official character the reporter of all that 10
said and done in the body. This sanction has
been voted at ovcry successive session for many
years, and by members of all parties, The press,
too, of all parties has borne testimony to the del-
| ity with which the duty thus contided has been
The great celebrity with which the letter writer
for the distant press circulate through tho telO-
graph their hurried accounts and views of the de-
! bates of Congress, renders moro important than
ever the full and exact official reports of tho Con-
ohEssloNAL dLoBE. The haSty-and in many in
| stances EX PAETE-relatiOns by telegraph of what
occurs in Congress supersedc, fol- the most part,
the exact reports taken down by reporters, and
which formerly, in shape more or less abbrcvi-
nted, went the rounds of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their impcrfections
| and variety of colorings, take the run of the
country and no press but tho official of Congress
ever publishes the full debate with tho proceed
| ings of both houses unmUtilated. Indeed, no
| newspaper can give them and have room for ad-
vertsements and the miscellaneous matter essen-
tia to their existence. While, therefore, the tel
egraPh administers to the oRger appetite of the
public for Congress news, and meets the ncccssi-
ties of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste of its patrons
perfect information of what passes in Congress- is
greatly diminished. The circulation of the OH
cal reports has been, to some extent, cut of BY
the crude and diversified accounts which, flying
along the electric wires, satisfy curiosity and il
is almost in vain that Truth puts on his boots to
follow Still there are great many men Of
leisure and thought who like to SEQ what is actu.
ally said and done in Congress, and to iudgo for
themselves, rather than to receive impressions al
together from galvanic batteries. There arc 9TH
