THE GLOBE.
Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary


|
| rTNHE 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 Adminlstratlon--the consequent broachng of
new policy touching the internal concerns of the
country new and most important issues arisn Q.
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,-consprc 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 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 a useful instrument, however hum
ble TO assist the working of the admirable ma
chnery 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-
slve devotion OF the individual who for SO many
years has made it his study to embody and publish
the labors OF Congress, gives to hope that
advance VIII be made in the accomplishment of this
Nhubi CoHIlutnsuTate WIN increased I'M
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequent 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 mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports given,-will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so FAR patronlse IL to become pure haser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued "a shall
contribute 70 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 for each Member, at 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
II will give impulse to the circulation Of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
IN the Union, (the expense of preparation consid-
ered,) will yet yiold sufficient profit to make the
system permanent.
JONI c. RIvIs having purchased the interest of
F. p. BLAIR in Jackson Hall-thc printing Office
machinery and material-becomes the sole proprie-
tor thereof, and will give his exclusive attention to
the Congressional Department J. G. PICKETT will
conduct the Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper. +. p BLAIR rctires from both concerns
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
prosperity.
