THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.

| ..H. fAfkk.
| The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
| of my proposals and preparations to spread it's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking it il 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 de-
ponds.
| The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character as 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 hdel-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor Of the
work. are submitted in proof of its fullness, fair

for the distant press circulate through the tele
| 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-
| cREss,oNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er parts, relations by telegraph Of what
| occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports tnken down bv reporters, and
which formerly, IN shape more or less abbre-
| waited, went the rounds or the press NOW the
| telegraph accounts, with all their imperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try, and no press but the official of Congress ever
publishes the full debate with the proceedings OF
| both Houses unmutiated. 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
tiers to the eager appetite ofths public for Congress-
news and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing a rapdy-written eptome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect informa
ton of what passes in Congress IL greatly dimln-

diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
w:res satisfies curiosity, and it is almost IN VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow Still there
are a great many men ofleisure and thought who
like to see wi at is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive impressions altogether from gnlvanlc bat
teries 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 ofthe Republic.
The undersigned has made preparations com

publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
! OF both Houses of Congress The coming SEES

will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase in small degree the
expense OF the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that it has been for several years
past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on super6ne double royal sheet 1t Will
contain the debates taken down by the report-
ers, and as sltered by the speakers whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the
dav. and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks in it, and alter them they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
| CoNGREssroNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
dailv proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress-,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages The speeches of the Members, in this first
form. are sometime condensed--the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar
rENDIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedngs, are given in the form of the Journals,
with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up Of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Speeches of Members Of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t il printed in the
same form the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion, there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers week-one OF the CONGRESS
siowAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but dur
ing the remainder Of a session, there Is usually
sufficient matter for two or three nn'ipsfs OF eaGh
every week. The next session viii be unusually
interesting therefore, calculate that the Con
caEsMoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quarto pages, Printed In
