THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary

TTJNHE 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 Admlnlstratlon-the consequent broachlng OF
a new policy touching the internal concerns OF the
Countryside 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,--conspre to create
great expectation as 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, each succeed
ing day, while measures maturing, is in effect
10 bring the whole nation into council. The dis
cussion, spreading from the Capitol to the remotes
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
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 G LOBE Press has already enlisted the ablest
Reporters yet known 10 Congress; its materials
and machinery Of the best sort; and the exclu-
siye devotion of the individual who for many
years has made it his study to embody and publish
the abors of Congress, gives reason To hope that
advance will be made in the accomplishment of this
undertaking commensurate with its increased i'm
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
scquent ON she additional number of Reporters
requrcd-thc extra charges incurred in printing at
night the debates of the preceding day-the vast
addition made to the mass published, by the pro-
tractcd sessions and the fuller reports given will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall 30 far patrOnlsc II as to become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute 70 make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned has ventured 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,
| 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
it will give impulse to the circulation of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (thc expense Of preparation consid-
cred,) will yet yield sufficient profit TO make the
system permanent
JoHS &. RyEs having purchased the interest Of
f. p. BLAIR in Jackson Hall--thc printing office,
machinery and materially becomes the sole proprc-
tor thereof, and sill give his exclusive attention TO
! the Congressional Department !. G. PICKETT will

with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
/ prosperity.
The GIoBE will be published daily during the
session Of Congress, and weekly the remainder Of
the year; and will undergo distribution in the form
/ OF WEEKLY GLoBE, a CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and
an APPENDIx.
The WEEKLY Clone will contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally
/ give debates of such importance command uni
yersal interest.
The price Of the WEEKLY GLOBE is reduced TO
one dollar, with a view 10 obtain a more general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
/ 81 per annum will be charged only ! after the
expiration Of the first year
! The CoSGREssiONAL GLOBE will embody, "a IL
has done for the last sixteen years, Congressional
/ proceedings and debates exclusively
! The APPENDIX viii embrace the revised speeches

the United States and the reports Of the Heads Of

number of each week during the first four weeks
Of a session, and two or three numbers Of each a
week afterwards, until the end Of the session Each
