The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-03-01
PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
yNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
4 renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
rt the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
depends. ...
IN official character the reporter of all that Is
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive eession for many years,
and by members of all parties The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the hdelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writer's
for the distant press crc uate through the telegraph
sher hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
fun and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty and in many instances eI pdrH,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs IN Congress
supcrsede for the most part the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, IL
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with All
their and variety OF colorlngs, take
the run of the country, and no press but the ohclal
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
. the proceedings Of both Houses unmutllated In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and nave room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress ncws and meets the nccessi-
lies 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 ofhclal
rpports has been, to extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and It IS al
most in vain chat truth puts on his boots 10 ollow
Still there a great many men oil leisure ana
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress, and TO Judge ior themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There are others, too who for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record OF the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public
rncnsurate with the Increased Importance of the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter ana
puIlisher Of the complete debates and proceedings
