THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
i PAPER.
THE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread Us
debates before the public The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuste the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of tne
body on which the destiny Of the Republic ae-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GIosE
an official character the reporter of all thar 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 hds-
! ity with which the duty thus conhded has been
! performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
| dom from the general expression IN favor or the
work, are submitted in proof of its fulness, fair-
| ness and usefulness. | am compelled to omit,
for want of room, a page of notices which are 10
type
/ The gfeat celerity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the teie-
grsph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports OF the CON-
cREssioNAL GLoBE. The hasty, and IN many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph OF wh't
occurs in Congress supersede, Tor the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, ana
winch formerly, shape more or less anhre7
Waited went the rounds of the press. NOW the
telegraph accounts, with all their lmperlectioDa
and variety ofcoorngs, take the run OF the coun-
try, and no press but the official Of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings or
both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their eI-
istence While therefore, the telegraph ndmn,"-
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress-
news, aud meets the necessities OF the poiiucai
press, by furnishing rapldly-written epitope
suited to the taste of it's patrons, perfect ihforma-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dinlii-
ished. The circulation fthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude anu
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires satisfies curiosity, and u Is almost IN Vaih
that truth puts on his boots to follow. oti 'heie
are great many men of leisure and Thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done IN Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanlc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, tor the sake
of the future, willing patronlze work whlcn
preserves full record of the dolngs OF the great
| moving and controlling power of the Republic
| The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance OF tn
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter ana
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
Of both Houses of Congress. The coming SEE
sion will probably be extended nine months, an,
the reports will not be comprised in less than 350t
royal ouarto pages of brewer and nonparei type
making a volumes of near 900 pages each -
The reports for the last long session made 3S9o
royal uuarto pages, and were bound IN four vol
umes, averaging 974 royal quarto pages each
i I will publish in the>APPEEDIx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase in no small degree the
expense OF the publication, the subscription pnce
will be the same that it has been for several years
past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
! session on a superfne double royal sheet. IL VIII
, contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
; day, and miscellaneous matter The main object

CoNGREssIoSAL GLoBE and APPENDIX
The CogGREssioSAL GLOBE is made up OF the
J da;Iv nroceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonperell,) IN quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
cages The speeches Of the Members, in this hrst
form. are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the AP-
D pySpIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
} ceedings are given in the form OF the Journals,
! with the yeas and nays on every important queS-
ton.
} Annual Message, the Reports Of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany II, and
ali Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves IL is printed IN the
} same form as the CoEGREsToSAL GLoBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
} during a session.
. During the first month or six weeks OF sss-
sion there is rarely more business done than VIII
make two numbers week-one OF the CoSGREs-
sIogAL GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers Of each
every week. The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the CoH-
aprsstosSL GLoBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed in
small type-brevier and noniareil. We furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end or session
B We will endeavor To print sufficient number OF
s.rpus copies TO supply all that may be mscarried,

fear that we should not be able to supply all the
