THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TJNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the

which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great ceierty with which the letter writers

their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports oft CONGRESSIONAL

The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate 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 1 and nonpareii type
making volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made $500 royal

this will increase in small degree the expense of
