THE GLOBE:
Congressional, agricultural, and Literary


! TINHE 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 Administration-thc 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 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 10
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 70 the people, each succeed
ing day, while measures maturing, is in effect
to bring the whole nation into council. The dis
CUSTOM spreading from the Capitol the rcmotest
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
chlnery 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 intelli gence.
The GLOBE Press has already enlisted the ablest
Reporters yet known to Congress; its materials
and machinery Of the best sort and the exclu-
sivc devotion of the individual who for so many
years has made il his study TO embody and publish
the abors OF Congress, gives 10 hope that
advance will be made in the accomplishment of this
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequcnt 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 failure, unless Congress
shall 50 far patronse il as 10 become purchaser
OF such portion Of the daily sheets Issued shall
contribute 10 make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned has vcnturcd on the preparation he
has made for the next Session in the expectation
that Congress will subscribe for many daily
sheets for each Member, the subscription price,
as 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
IL will give an impulse 10 the circulation of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
IN the Union, (the expense Of preparation consid-
ercd,) viii yet yield sufficient profit TO make the
system permanent.
