THE GLOBES:
Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary
NewsDaner,
V'HE approach Of Congress calls out the annual

| THE approach of Congress calls out the annual
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 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
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 a useful instrument, however hum
! BILE, to assist the working of the admirable ma
chincry 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 ma terials
and machinery are of the best sort; and the excu-
sive devotion of the individual who for 80 many
years has made it his study to embody and publish
the labors OF Congress, gives TO hope that
advance will be made IN the accomplishment of this
undertaking commensurate with its increased i'm
scquent 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 published by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports given-wiI
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise il TO become a purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued as shall
contribute TO 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 many daily
sheets for each Member, at the subscription price
will, in part, dcfray 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
II VIII give an impulse to 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.
JoHN G. RvEs having purchased the interest of
+. p. BLAIR in jackson Hall--the printing Office
machinery and material-becomes the sole propre-
tor thereof and will give his exclusive attention to
the Congressional Department. J. &. PICKETT will
conduct the Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper. +. p. BLAIR rctircs from both concerns
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
prosperity.
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 a WEEKLY GLOBE, CONGRESSIONAL G LoBE, and
an APPENDIX.
The WEEKLY GLOBE will contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally
give debates of such importance command uni
vcrsal interest.
The price Of the WEEKLY GLOBE is reduced to
one dollar, with view 10 obtain a more general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
80 per annum will be charged only s after the
expiration Of the first year.
The CoNoREssIoSAL GLOBE will embody, az it
has done for the last sixteen years, Con gressiona
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 CoNoREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX will
be published fast a. 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 TO subscribers soon after
Congress adjourns.
Nothing OF political party aspect will appear in
the GLOBE save that which viii 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
