THE GLOBE.

THE GLOBE,
A Congressional Agricultural and Literary Newspaper.
THE approaching Congress calls out the an
nua! prospectus of the Globe establishment
The time is full of interest. The coming in of
new admlnistratlor-thc consequent broachinC
of new policy touching the internal concerns
OF the Countrywide new and most important is
sues arising from the late vast accession to the
public domain, and the great national objects as
sociatcd with 1.-THE impending difficulty in our
relations with France, and the possible compl-
cation of our affairs with the troubles of Europe
consplrc to create great expectations to the
proceedings of the next Congress. The ap-
preaching session will probably continue till late
in the summer of 1850. The debates, from the
agitation of so many questions of vital interest
to the republic, will draw forth all the talent of
the national Legislature. To bring its delibera-
tons home to the people, on each succeeding
day, while measures arc maturing, is in effect to
bring the whole national into council The dis
cussion, spreading from the Capitol to the reno
test parts of the Union, forms public opinion
which reacts upon Congress, and controls its de-
cisions.
10 become useful instrument however hum
bic, to assist the working of the admirable ma
chlnery OF our popular institutions, is the ambi
ton of the conductor Of the GLOBE. Extraor-
binary preparations have therefore been made to
meet the increasing demands of our rapidlv-im-
proving and growing country for congressional
intelligence.
The GLOBE press has already enlisted the a.
blcst reporters yet known to Congress- its ma
chinery are of the best sort; and the exclusive
devotion of the individual who for so many years
has made it his study to embody and publish the
labors of Congress, gives reason to hope that an
advance will be made in the accomplishment of
this undertaking commensurate with its incrcas-
ed Importance. But the accumulation Of cx-
pense consequent on the additional number of
reporters required the extra charges incurred
IN printing at night the debates of the preceding
day-the vast addition made to the mass publish
ed, by the protracted sessions and the fuller re-
ports given-will render our enterprise failure
unless Congress shall so far patronize it as to be-
come purchaser of such portion of the daily
sheets issued as shall contribute to make the re-
ports that fill them. The undersigned has VEN
tueed on the preparation he has made fer the next
session, in the expectation that Congress will
subscribe for as many daily sheets for each mcnl-
per, at the subscription price, will in part de-
tray the expense of reporting, and give them cir
culatlon as congressional documents in their Sc
vcral districts. This will enable the publisher
to bear the charge of reporting; and it will give
an impulse to the circulation OF the congression-
al print, which, although the cheapest in the u
mon (the expense Of preparation consdercd)
will yetyicd sufficient profit to make the system
permanent.
John c. Rives having purchased the interest
of F. P. Blair in Jackson Hall-the printing of
hce machinery and acknowledgements the sole
proprietor thereof, and will give his exclusive
attentlon to the Congressional department. J.
o. Pickett will conduct the miscellaneous de-
partment of the newspaper. F. P. Blair retires
from both concerns, with prayers for their per-
manent usefulness aod prosperity.
The Globe will be published daily during the
session OF Congress- and weekly the remainder
of the year, and will undergo distribution in the
form Of Weekly Globe, Congressional Globe,
and an Appendix
The Weekly Globe will contain agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and will occasional
ly give debates of such importance as command
universal interest
The price of the Weekly Globe is reduced to
one dollar, with view to obtain more gener-
al circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto
paid 81 per annum, will be charged only 81 af-
ter the expiration Of the first year.
The Congressional Globe will imbody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years, congression-
al proceedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised speech
es separately, and the messages Of the President
of the United States and the reports of the heads
of the executive departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be published as fast the proceedings of Con-
grcss will make a number Subscribers may
expect one number Of each week during the first
four weeks Of session, and two or three num-
bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of
the session Each volume will probably COM
prise two thousand royal quarto pages Of small
type. ..
Complete indexes to the Congressional Glcbe
and Appendix will be sent to subscribers soon
after Congress adjourns.
Nothing Of political purity aspect will appear
in the Globe, save that which will be found in
the Congressional reports. A paper assuming
TO be an impartial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character If the editorial columns
reflect party hue.
