THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vVNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
Il renewal of my proposals and preparations 10
spread lis debates before the public. The
which has hitherto attended this undertaking IL ID
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny oil the Republic
depends.
The adoption Of Congress has given the q LOBE
an official character the reporter OF all that Is
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session Tor many years,
and by members of all parties The press, too OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the hdelty with
which tho duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
lor the distant presscircuiatc through tetecgraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
uLoBE The hasty and III many INSTANCES I pare,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supcrsede, for the most part, the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperiectious and variety OF colornga, take
the run Of the country, and press but the Official
OF Congress ever publishes the iull debate with
| the proceedings OF both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
| essential to their existence While therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF tho
public Tor Congress news, and meets the neccssl-
ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cptoIne suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect Information Of what passes In Congress IL
greatly diminished The circulation OF theoiiicial
reports has been, to some extent, cut OH by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and il ID al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done IN Congress, and To Judge Tor themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com.
nlensuratc with the increased Importance OF the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonparel type,
| making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $50 royal
q'larto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
| sion, which hasnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase in small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that il has been for several years past.
| The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
| session a superfne double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates taken down by tho report
ere, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
and misce llaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper ID to enable Members
to see their remarks III it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoSGREasIoNAL & LOBE and APPENDIX.
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
| and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (5rever and nonparel in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made upof the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. IL ia printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the came number OF pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF "A session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers wcek-one OF e CoNGREssIosAL
q LOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
naInder of "a session there is usually sufficient
matter Tor two or three numbers ol each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore | calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE aud APPENDIX together will mako at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER aud nonpareil. Complete indexes To both
will be furnished at the end of a session.
will cndeavOr 10 print sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be niscar
rlcn, lUet III inc Out nHohlu

fear that should not be able 10 supply all the
lost numbers.
II Subscribers shall not Ice satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for II will he re-
funded TO them whenever they return the numbcrs
which may have been received 10y them. will
give Subscribers the subscription price for any Of
the previous volumes Oi the CoHeREssIosAL GLoBE
