THE GLOBE:
Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary

| TINE approach of Congress calls out the annual
l& Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment
The time is full of interest. The coming in of "A
new Administration consequent broaching of
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,-conspire 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, on each succeed
ing day, while measures are maturing, is, in effect,
TO bring the whole nation into council. The dis
cussion, spreading from the Capitol to the remotest
parts OF the Union, forms public opinion which
reacts upon Congress and controls its decisions.
To become 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 GLOBE Press has already enlisted the abest
Reporters yet known TO Congress-; its materials
and machinery of the best sort; and the exclu
sive devotion of the individual who for so many
years has made it his study to embody and publish
the abors OF Congress- gives reason TO hope that an
advance Will be made in the accomplishment OF this
Undertaking commensurate with It's increased un-
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequent 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,-wll
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise ii as TO become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute TO 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,
as will, in part, defray the expense OF reporting
and give them circulation Congressional docu-
mcnis in their several districts. This will enable
the publisher TO bear the charge of reporting, and
II will give an impulse to the circulation OF the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (the expense of preparation consid-
ered,) will yet yield sufficient profit to make the
system permanent.
JONI c. RrvEs having purchased the interest Of
F. p. BLAIR in Jackson Hall-the printing office,
machinery and material-bccomes the sole prbprie-
tor thereof, and will give his exclusive attention to
the Congressional Department. J. &. PICKETT will
conductive Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper. +. p. BLAIR retires from both concerns,
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
prosperity.
