THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary

FTNllE approach of Congress calls out the annual
i Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in of "a
new Administration consequent broachng of
a new policy touching the internal concerns of the
countryside new and most important issues arising
from the late 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,-consprc to create
great expectation TO the proceedings of the next
Congress. The approaching session will probably
continue till late III 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 are maturing, is in effect
TO bring the whole nation into council. The dis
cusson, spreading from the Capitol to the remotcst
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 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 80 many
years has made 1t his study to embody and publish
the labors of Congress- gives TO hope that
advance will be made in the accomplishment of this
WIN It's increased
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequent on the additional number of Reporters
requircd-the extra charges incurred in printing
night the debates of the preceding day-the vast
addition made To the mass published, by the pro-
traced sessions and the fuller reports given,-will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise il as to become a purchaser
Of such portion Of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute TO make tie reports that fill them The
undersigned has yenturcd 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, at the subscription price,
as 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
il will give impulse to the circulation of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (the expense Of preparation consd
ered,) will yet yield sufficient profit TO make the
system permanent
