THE GLOBE;
A Congressional, Agricultural, md Literary
NeWspaper.

TINE approach of Congress calls out the annual
i Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in OF q
new Administration-the consequent broaching 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 relations with
France, and the possible complication of 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 so 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,
to bring the whole nation into council. The dis
CUSTOM spreading from the Capitol to the rcmotest
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
chinery 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 Tor Congressional intelligence.
The GLOBE Press has already enlisted the ablest
Reporters yet known TO Congress; its materials
and machinery are 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 10 hope that an
advance will be made in the accomplishment of this
undertaking commensurate with its increased inn
sequent the additional humber of Reporters
rcquired-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 gvcn,-will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise il as 10 become purchaser
of such portion Of the daily sheets issued as shall
contribute 10 make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned has ventured 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 as Congressional docu-
mcnts 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.
JOHN G. RIvEs having purchased the interest of
+. p BLAIR in jackson Hall-the printing office,
machinery and material-bccomes the sole proprie-
tor thereof and will give his exclusive attention
the Congressional Department. J. &. PICKETT will
conductive Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper. r. z. BLAR rctires from both concerns,
with prayers Tor 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 GLOBE, and
an APPENDIX.
The WEEKLY GLOBE will contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally
give debates OF such Importance as command uni
versal interest.
The price Of the WEEKLY GLoBE is reduced TO
one dollar, with a view TO obtain more general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
80 per annum will be charged only y after the
expiration Of the first year.
The CoNeREssIoSAL GLOBE will embody, as il
has done for the last sixteen ycars, Congressional
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 CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE and APPENDIX will
