The Globe.
Congressional Agricultural and Literary Newspaper
THE approaching Congress calls out the an
nual prospectus of the Globe establishment.
The time is full of interest The coming in of
new admnistration-the consequent b-oaching
of a new policy touching the internal concerns
of the Countrywide and most important is
sues arising from the late vast accession to the
public domain and the great national obi ects as
ISOLATED with 1.-THE impending difficulty in our
relations with France, and the possible compli- |
cation of our affairs with the troubles of Europe,
conspire to create great expectations as to the
proceedings of the next Congress. The APP
preaching session will probably continue till late
in the summer of 1850. The debates, from the
agitation of many questions of vital interest
to the republic, will draw forth all the talent Of
the national legislature. To bring it's delibera-
tons home to the people, each succeeding
day, while measures maturing, is in effect to
bring the whole national into council. The dis
cusslon, spreading from the Capitol to the remo-
test parts of the Union, forms public opinion
which reacts upon Congress, and controls its de-
cisions.
To become a useful instrument, however hum
Bile, to assist the working of the admirable ma
chinery 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 rapidly-im-
proving and growing country for congressional
intelligence.
The GLOBE press has already enlisted the
blest reporters yet known to Congress; its ma
chnery are of the best Sort and the exclusive
devotion of the individual who for 50 many years
has made it his study to cmbody 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 increas-
| ed Importance. But the accumulation OF eX-
pense consequent on the additional number OF
reporters reauircd-tEe extra charges incurred
4 in printing at night the debates of the preceding
day-the vast addition made to the mass publish
cd, by the protracted sessions and the fuller re-
ports givcn-will render our enterprise failure,
unless Congress shall so far patronize it as to be-
come 4 purchaser of such portion Of the daily
sheets issued as shall contribute to make the re-
ports that fill them. The undersigned has VEN
tuccd on the preparation he has made tor the next
session, in the expectation that Congress Will
subscribe for many daily sheets for each mem
Der, at the subscription price, as will in part de-
fray the expense of reporting, and give them cir
cuaton 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 (thc expense of preparation consldercd)
will yet yield sufficient prof. to make the system
permanent.
John c. Rvcs having purchased the interest
of F. p. Blair in jackson Hall-the printing-ot
fee machinery and observation-disclosures the sole
proprietor thereof, and will give his exclusive
attention to the Congressional department. J..
c. Pickett will conduct the miscellaneous de-
partmcnt Of the newspaper i. L. Blair retlres
from both concerns, with prayers for their per-
manent usefulness aod prosperity.
