THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER

The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread iss
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it is hoped will
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 fdel-
ity with which the duty thus conGded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, submitted in proof of its funess, fair
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are IN
lypeI
The great celebrity with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the tee-
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-
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances ca parte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the eynct reports taken down by reporters, and
winch formerly, shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety ofcolorings, take the run of the coun-
try, and press but the official OF Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmutilaed. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them and have room for advertisements
and the misce laneous matter essential to their
istence While, therefore, the telegraph admns-
ters the eager appetite ofhe public for Congress-
news, and meets the necef II 8 OF the poiticai
press, by furnishing rap,diy-wrien ep'tome
suited to The taste of it's patrons, perfect nforma
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dinin
ished The circulation of the c",slal reports has
BEEN to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is almost in vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are a great many men of leisure and thought who
like to see WI at is actually said and done in Con
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from galvanlc bat
teres There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work which
preserves full record Of the doings OF the great
moving and controlling power OF the Republic
