THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGR calls for the
l. renewal Of my proposals. and preparations 10
spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpctuate
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
and by members Of all parties. The press, too OF
all parties has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus cOnfided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates Of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports oft CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances er pdrh,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ta-
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more or Lees abbreyiate went the rounds
their imperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the run Of the country, and prcsc but the official
Of Congress ever publishes tho full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unsnutiiated. la
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 the
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect Information of what passes In Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and it is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. Thore others, too, who, for
