THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary


TINE approach of Congress calls out the annual
i Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in OF a
new Admlnlstraton-the consequent broachlng OF
new policy touching the internal concerns of the
Countrywide new and most important issues arising
from the late vast accession to the public domain,
and the great national objects associated with it.
the impending difficulty in our relations with
France, and the possible complication of our affairs
with the troubles OF Europe,-consplre TO create
great expectation 10 the proceedings OF the next
Congress The approaching session will probably
continue till late in the summer of 1850. The de-
bates, 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
deliberations home TO the people, on each succeed
ing day. while measures maturing, is, in effect,
to bring the whole nation into council. The dis
CUSTOM spreading from the Capitol TO the remotest
parts of the Union, forms public opinion which
reacts upon Congress and controls its decisions
To become useful instrument, however hum
BILE, 10 assist the working OF the admirable ma
chinery of our popular institutions is the ambition
of the conductor of the GLOBE. Extraordinary
preparations have therefore been made 10 meet the
increasing demands of our rapidly improving and
growing country for Congressional intelligence.
The GLOBE Press has already enlisted the abiest
Reporters yet known 20 Congress; its materials
and machinery of the best sort; and the exclu-
sive 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
advance will be made in the accomplishment of this
undertaking commensurate with its increased inn
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequent the additional number of Reporters
requlrCdthe extra charges incurred in printing at
night the debates of the preceding day-the vast
addition made 10 the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports giyen-wil

shall far patronise il as TO become a purchaser
Of such portion Of the daily sheets issued as shall
contribute 20 make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned has venturcd on the preparation he
has made for the next Session in the expectation
that Congress will subscribe for as many daily
sheets for each Member, at the subscription price,
will, in part, defray the expense of reporting,
and give them circulation as Congressional docu-
mcnts in their several districts. This will enable
the publisher 20 bear the charge Of reporting and
il will give an impulse 10 the circulation of the
Congressional Print which, although the cheapest
In the Union, (the expense of preparation consid-
ercd,) will yet yield sufficient profit 10 make the
system permanent.
