The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-12-21
THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agric cultural, and Literary

Newspaper.
| TIME approach of Congress calls out the annual
| i Prospectus Of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in of
| new Administrations consequent broaching OF
new policy touching the internal concerns of the
counry--the new and most portant issues arising
from the late vast accession to the public domain,
and the great national objects associated with it
| the impending difficulty in relations with
France, and the possible complication of our affairs
with the troubles OF Europe,-conspirc 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 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, is, in effect,
! TO bring the whole nation into council. The dis
cusson, 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 our popular Institutions is the ambition
! of the conductor 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 enlisted the ablest
| Reporters yet known TO Congress; its materials
and machinery of the best sort and the exclu-
sive devotion of the individual who for many
years has made it his study TO cmbody and publish
the labors of Congress, gives to hope that
advance will be made in the accomplishment OF this
undertaking commemorate 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 at
night the debates Of the preceding day-the vast
addition made TO the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports gven,-will
render our enterprise a failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise II as to become purchaser
Of such portion Of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute 10 make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned 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, the subscription price,
will, in part, defray the expense of reporting,
and give them circulation Congressional docu-
ments in their several districts. This will enable
the publisher TO bear the charge of reporting, and
it will give an impulse 10 the circulation of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (thc expense Of preparation consid-
ered,) will yet yield sufficient profit TO make the
! system permanent.

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 WEEKLY GLOBE, CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
an APPENDIX.
! The WEEKLY GLOBE will contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally
! give debates of such importance as command uni
versal interest.
The price Of the WEEKLY GLoBg is reduced TO
one dollar, with view to obtain more general
! circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
! 81 per annum will be charged only 8 after the
expiration Of the first year.
| The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE will embody, as Il
has done for the last sixteen years, Congressional
proceedings and debates exclusively.
! The APPENDIX viii embrace the revised speeches
separately, and the messages Of the President Of
the United States and the reports Of the Heads OF
the Executive Departments
/ The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX will
be published as fast the proceedings of Congress
will make a number. Subscribers may expect one
number of each week during the first four weeks
OF a session, and two three numbers Of each
week afterwards until the end Of the session. Each
volume will probably comprise two thousand royal
quarto pages, of small type
Complete indexes TO the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE
and APPENDIX will be sent 10 subscribers after
Congress sdiourns.
Nothing Of political party aspect will appear in
the GLOBE save that which will be found in the
Congressional Reports. A paper assuming TO be
am impartial vehicle for all sides cannot maintain
its character If the editorial columns reflect party
hue.
