The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1849-11-08
THE GLOBE:
Congressional, agricultural, and Literary
NewspaDer.

THE approach of Congress calls out the annual
Il Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in of
new Administration-the consequent broaching of
a new 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 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 To the Republic, will draw forth all the
talent of the National Legislature. To bring its
deliberations home 10 the people, on each succeed
ing day, while measures are maturing, Is, in effect,
TO bring the whole nation into council. The dis
CUSTOM 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, 10 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 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-
sive devotion of the individual who for many
years has made 1t his study 10 embody and publish
the abors OF Congress- gives reason to hope that
advance viii 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
requlredthc extra charges incurred IN printing at
night the debates of the preceding day-the vast
addition made 10 the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports giyen,-will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so IA patronise il as TO become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute 70 make tho reports that I'll them. The
undersigned has ventured on the preparation he
has made for the next Session in the expectation
that Congress will subscribe for az many daily
sheets for each Member, 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 10 bear the charge Of reporting, and
ii will give an impulse 10 the circulation Of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (the expense Of preparation consid-
ered,) will yet yield sufficient profit 10 make the
system permanent
JoHS C. RTvEs having purchased the interest OF
r. y. BLAIR in Jackson Hsll-the printing office,
machinery and material-becomes the sole prop .ie-
tor thereof and will give his exclusive attention 70
the Congressional Department. j. c. PICKETT will
conductths Miscellaneous Department Of the News
paper. r. p. BLAIR rctires from both concerns,
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
prosperity.
The GJoBE will be published daily during the
session Of Congress, and weekly the remainder Of
the year; aud will undergo distribution in the form
of WEEKLY GLoBE, a CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
an APPENDiX.
The WEEKLY GLOBE viii contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and viii occasionally
give debates Of such importance az command uni
yersal interest.
The price Of the WEEKLY GLoBE il reduced u
one dollar, with a view 10 obtain a more general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
So per snnum will be charged only : after the
expiration Of the first year.

has done for the last sixteen years, Congressional
proceedings and debates exclusively.

che United Staies and the reports Of the Heads o
