THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary

FTNIIE 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 Administrations consequent broaching OF
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 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 so 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, ON each succeed
ing day, while measures 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
Bile, 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 abest
Reporters yet known to Congress; its materials
and machinery of the best sort; and the exclu-
slve devotion of the individual who for so many
years has made it his study To embody and publish
the labors OF Congress, gives hope that
advance VIII be made In the accomplishment of this
undertaking commensurate with its increased i'm
portanCe. But the accumulation of expense
sequent the additional number of Reporters
requred-the extra charges incurred in printing at
night the debates OF the preceding day--thc vast
addition made to the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports given will
render enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise it as to become purchaser
OF such portion OF the daily sheets issued shall
contribute 20 make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned has venturcd on the preparation he
has made for the next Session in the expectation
that Congress will subscribe for as many daily
sheets Tor 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 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, (the expense Of preparation consid-
ercd,) will yet yield sufficient profit to make the
system permanent.
JOHN G. RrvEs having purchased the interest of
F. p. BLAIR in Jackson Hall-the printing Office,
machinery and material--becomes the sole propric-
tor thereof and will give his exclusive attention 10
the Congressional Department. J. G. PICKETT will
conduct the Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper. +. y. BLAIR retires from both concerns,
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
prosperity.
The CLONE will be published daily during the
session of Congress, and weekly the remainder of
the year; and will undergo distribution in the form
OF a WEEKLY GLOBE, CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
an APPENDIX.
lht WEEKLY bLOBE VIII contain agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally
give debates of such Importance az command uni
versal interest.
The price of the WEEKLY GLOBE is reduced TO
one dollar, with view TO obtain a general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
50 per snnum will be charged only i after the
expiration of the first year
The CoNGREssiOSAL GLOBE will embody, as il
has done for the last sixteen years, Congressional
proceedings and debates exclusively.
The APPENDIX will 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 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 or three numbers of each
week afterwards, until the end Of the session Each
volume will probably comprise two thousand royal
J quarto pages, of small type.
Complete indexes to the CONGRESSIONAL CLONE
and APPENDIX will be sent 10 subscribers after
/ Congress adjourns.
! Nothing Of political party aspect will appear in
! the GLOBE that which will be found in the
/ Congressional Reports. A paper assuming TO be
an impartial vehicle for all sides cannot maintain
its character if the editorial columns reflect party
| hue.
