PAPER.
TsE approach of Congress calls for the renewal
| OF my proposals and preparations TO spread su
debates before the public. The SUCCESS which ms
hitherto attended this undertaking il IL hoped vii
continue, and enable me to perpetuate The fuii
history Of the proceedings and discussions of sRe
body on which the destiny of the Republic de-
pends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GlosE
an official character the reporter Of all that v
said and done in the body This sanction Aas
years, and by members of all parties. The press,
too, Of all parties has borne testimony to the 6ast.
ity with which the duty thus confded has bssa
performed. The annexed notices, taken 1t nu-
dom from the general expression in favor at tns
work, ATE submitted in proof Of its fullness, tasr

ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow

instances parte relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part.
the exact reports takan down bv reDorters ana
which formerly, IN shape more or less abhre-

telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety chickering's, take the run of the cou-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutated. 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

suited to the taste Of its patrons, perfect informu

been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ami

wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
