THE GLOBE:
Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary
Newspaper.


VNiiE 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 Administrahon--the consequent broaching of
a 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 national objects associated with it
the impending difficulty i'll relations with
France, and the possible complication of affairs
with the troubles Of Europe,-conspre to create
great expectation 10 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 TO the Republic will draw forth all the
talent of the National Legislature. To bring its
deliberations home TO the people, each succeed
ing day, while measures maturing, IL, in effect,
to bring the whole nation into council. The dis
cussion spreading from the Capitol to the remotest
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
chinery of 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 ablest
Reporters yet known To Congress; its materials
and machinery Of the best sort; and the exclu-
slve devotion of the individual who for many
years has made II hls study 10 embody 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 inn
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequent on the additional number of Reporters
required-the extra charges incurred in printing
night the debates Of the preceding day--thc vast
addition made 10 the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions ana the fuller reports given,-will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so tar patrUnlse IL TO become purchaser.
Of such portion of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute 10 make the reports that fill them The
undersigned has yenturcd on the preparation he
has he fh..
that Congress will subscribe for AZ 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 enable
the publisher 10 bear the charge Of reporting, and
II will give an impulse TO the circulation Of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
IN the Union, (thc expense Of preparation consid-
ered,) viii yet yield sufficient profit 10 make the
system permanent
