THE GLOBE:

ZikerQru NenSnnner.

Io hHhud TospectuS OF the GLOBE ES-
Enlistment.
The time is full of interest. The
coming in of new Administration--the
consequent broaching of new policy
touching the internal concerns of the
countryside new and most important
issues arising from the late vast accession
to the public domain, and the great ma
tional objects associated. with 1.-THE i'm
pending difficulty in our relations with
France, and the possible complication
of our affairs with the troubles of Eu-
rope,--conspire to create great expecta.
ton as to the proceedings of the next
Congress. The approaching Session
will probably contiue till late in the
summer of 1850. The debates, from
the agitation of so many questions of vi
tai interest to the Republic, will draw
forth all the talent of the National Legis-
lature. TO bring its deliberations home
to the people, on each succeeding day,
while measures are maturing, is, in effect,
to bring the whole nation into council
The discussion, spreading from the Cap
itol to the remotest parts of the Union,
forms public opinion which reacts up
on Congress and controls its decisions
To become useful instrument, how
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 of our
rapidly-improving and growing country
for Congressional intelligence.
The GLOBE Press has already enlist
ed the ablest 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 il his study ~
enbody and publish the labo-s of 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 given,--
will render our enterprise failure, I'M
less Congress shall SO far patronze it as
to become purchaser OF such portion
Of the daily sheets issued, as shall con-
tribute to make the reports that fill them.
The undersigned has ventured on the
preparation he has made for the next
Sessian, in the expectation that Congress
VIII 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 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
culalion of the Congressional Print,
which, although the cheapest in the
Union (,he expense of preparation con-
sidered) will yet yield sufficient profit to
make the system permanent. r.
JOHN &. RIvEs having purchased the
interest OF f. p. BLAIR in Jackson Hall
the printing office machinery and ma
tcrial--becomes the sole proprietor there
of, and will give his exclusive attention
to the Congressional department. j. G..
PICKETT will conduct the Miscellaneous
Department of the Newspaper. f. p.
| BLAIR retires from both concerns, with
prayers for their permanent usefulness
and prosperity.
The GLOBE will be published daily
during the session of Congress, and
weekly the remainder of the year, and
will undergo distribution in the form OF
Weekiy Globe, a Congressional Globe,
and an .4ppendir.
The Weekiy Globe will contain Agri,
cultural and miscellaneous articles; and
will occasionally give debates of such i'm
portance as command universal interest.
The price Of the Ueekiy Globe is re-
duced to one dollar, with view to OBJ
tain more general circulation. Sub
scribers who have hitherto paid So pei
annum, will be charged only 81 after the
expiration of the first year.
The Congressional Globe will embody
as it has done for tine last sixteen years,
Congressional proceedings and debates
exclusively
The .Appendir will embrace the revi-
sed speeches separately, and the MESA
ges of the President of the United States
and the reports Of the Heads of the Elk
ecutive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and .4p-
pendir will be published as fast as the
proceedings of Congress will make a
number. Subscribers may expect one
number of each week during the frs
four weeks of session, and two OF
three numbers of each week afterwards
until the ond of the session. Each VOL
ume will probably comprise two thou
sand royal quarto pages, Of small type
Complete Indexes to the Coagression
al Globe and .Appendir viii be sent le
subscribers after Congress adjourns.
Nothing of a political party aspec
will appear in the Globe save that which
will be found in the Congressional re-
ports. A paper assuming to be an i'm
partial vehicle for all sides, cannot main
