ever humble, to assist the working of
the admirable machinery of our POPULAR
institutions, is the ambition of the con-
ductor of the GLOBE. Extraordinary
preparations have therefore been made
to meet the increasing demands ef our
rapidly-improving and growing country
for Congressional intelligence.
The GLOBE Press has alreadylenlist-
ed the ables, Reporters yet known to
Congress; its materials and machinery
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 labo-s cf Con.
gress, gives reason to hope that an ad.
vance will be made in the accomplish
lnent Of this undertaking commensurate
with its increased importance. But the
accumulation Of expense consequent on
the additional number of Reporters re.
quired-the extra charges incurred in
printing at night the debates Of the pre-
ceding day--the vast addition made to
the mass published. by the Protracted
sessions and the fuller reports giyen,--
will render our enterprise failure, un-
less Congress shall so far patbnize it as
to become purchaser OF sueh portion
of the daily sheets issued, as shall con-
tribute to make the reports thai I'll them.
The undersigned has ventured on the
preparation he has made for the mex,
Session, in the expectation That Congress
will subscribe for as many daily sheets
for each Member, at the subscription
price, as will, in part, defray hhe expense
of reporting, and give them circulation
as Congressional documents in their
several districts. This will enable the
Publisher to bear the charge of report
ing, and it will give an Impulse to the cir.
culation of the Congressional Print,
which, although the cheapest in the
Union (the expense of preparation con.
sidered) will yet yield sufficient profit to
make the system permanent. .a.s
JOHN G. RIyEs having purchased the
interest OF F. p. BLAIR in Jackson Hall

to the Congressional department. J.C.
PIcKETT. will conduct the Miscellaneous
Department of the Newspaper. F. p.

prayers for their permanent usefulness
and prosperity. ~
