THE IOWA cAPITAL REPoRTER.
THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural and
Literary Newspaper.

Literary Newspaper.
The approach of Congress calls out the An
nual Prospectus Of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full Of interest. The coming in of
new Administration-thc consequent broach-
ing Of a new policy touching the internal con-
| Germs Of the countryside new and most impor-
tant issues arising from the late vast accession
to the public domain, and the great national OBJ
jects associated with 1.-THE impending difficult
~ in our relations with France, and the possible
complication OF cur affairs with the troubles Of
Europe to create great expectation
as to the proceedings Of the next Congress. The
approaching Session will probably continue till
late in the summer Of 1850 The debates, from
the agitation Of so many questions OF vital inter-
est to the Republic. viii draw forth all the tall
ent Of the National Legislature. To bring its
deliber atoms home TO the people, on each sue
ceedmg day, while measures are maturing. is, in
effect, to bring the whole nation into council.
The discussion, spreading from The Capitol to
the remo,est parts of the Union. forms public
opinion which reacts upon Congress and con-
j trolls it's decisions.
/ To become useful instrument however hum.
Bile, to assist the working Of the admirable ma
chinery of our popular institutions, is the ambi-
binary preparations have therefore been made
to meet the increasing demands Of our rapidly
improving and growing couEtry for congression-
al intelligence.
/ The 6 ODE Press has already enlisted the
ables Reporters yet known to Congress; its ma
terials and achinery are Of the hes! SORT; and
exclusive devotion OF the individual who tor so
many years has made it his study to embody and
publish the Iahors of Congress. gives reason to
| hope that an advance will be made in the accom-
plshment of this undertaking commensurate
with its incl eased importance But the accu-
mutation Of expense consequent on the addition
al 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 published, by the protracted sessions
and fuller reports given, will render our enter
prise failure, unless Congress shall so far pa
tronize il as to become purchaser of such por-
ton Of the daily sheets issued las shall contribute
to make the reports that fill them. The UNDER
signed has ventured 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
as will, in part, defray the expense of reporting,
| and give them circulation as congressional docu-
ments in their several districts. This will ena-
bic The Publisher to bear the charge of reporting.
| and il will give an impulse to the circulation OF
the Congressional Print, which, although the
cheapest in the Union (the expense Of prepare.
ton considered) will yet yield sufficient profit
to make the system permanent.
