THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary

TINE approach of Congress calls out the annual
Il Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest The coming in of a
new Administration-the consequent broaching OF
a 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,-conspire to create
great expectation TO 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 many questions of
vital interest 10 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 are maturing, Is, IN effect,
to bring the whole nation into council. The dis
cusson, spreading from the Capitol TO the rcmotest
parts of the Union, forms public opinion which
reacts upon Congress and controls its decisions.
TO become useful instrument, however hum
bic TO assist the working OF the admirable ma
chnery 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 ablcst
Reporters yet known To Congress; its materials
and machinery are of the best sort; and the excu
sivc devotion of the individual who for so many
years has made it his study 10 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 increased i'm
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
scqucnt ON the additional number Of Reporters
roquired-the extra charges incurred in printing at
night thu dclate~ Of the preceding day-thc vast
addition made To the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports given,wil
render our enterprise failure, unless Con gress
shall far patronise il az 10 become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute 10 make the reports that fill them The
undersigned has venturcd on the preparation he
do FOR fRs
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-
ments in their several districts This will enable
the publisher TO bear the charge of reporting, and
IL will give impulse TO the circulation of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (thc expense of preparation consid-
cred will yet yield sufficient profit TO make the
system permanent.
