THE CLORE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.

Of nay proposals and preparations to spread iw
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking it h hoped vail

The adoption of Congress has given the GIosE
an official character the reporter of all thar
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,

performed The annexed notices, taken ut ran

graph their hurried accounts and views OF the
debates Of Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports of the Cow
GREssIoNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and in many
instances er pGte, relations by telegraph OF what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
the exact reports taken down bv reporters, anu
winch formerly, In shape more or less abhre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, Win all tnelr iHlperlecs"Ho
and variety of coorings, 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 unmutated. Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admInis-
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly written epitome
suited to the taste of its patrons, perfect inforna-
ton of what passes in Congress is greatly dimln-

CoNGREssioNAL GLOBE 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
TYNE. (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
nages The speeches of the Members, in this first
form. are sometime conference.-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the Ar-
pRNDIx All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
ceedings, are given in the form OF the JOURNALS,
with the yeas and nays on every important cues
ton.
Annual Message, the Reports OF the principal
Officers of the Government that accompany 1t, and
all Sneeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves. 1t is printed IN the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number OF pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of a seq
sion. there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers IA week-one of the CoNGREs-
SOCIAL GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but DUR
ing the remainder Of session, there is usuaiIy
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF each
every week. The next session Will be unusually
interesting; therefore, we calculate that the Con-
cprss,oNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX together will
make at least $500 large quartz pages, printed III
small type-brever and nonparell. we furnish
complete Indexes TO both at the end of a session.
We will endeavor to print sufficient number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be mlscarrled
or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
verv particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers. - -,
