A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary
Newspaper.
TINE approach of Congress calls out the annual
j. Prospectus OF the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in Of
new ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 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 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 tilllate 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 10 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
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 rapid " improving and
growing country for 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 many
years has made it his study to embody and publish
the abors OF Congress gives reason TO hope that an
undertaking commensurate with its increased inn
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,wll
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise ii to become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued as 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 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-
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 consid
ercd,) will yet yield sufficient profit to make the
system permanent
:, JoHS C. RIvEs 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. c. PICKETT will
conduct the Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper. F. p. BLAIR retires from both concerns,
with prayers for 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 WEEKLY CLOSE, 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 view to obtain general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
So per annum will be charged only s after the
expiration of the first year.
The CoSGREssIoSAL GLOBE will embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years, 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 LOBE and APPENDIX will
be published as fast the proceedings of Congress
viii make a number. Subscribers may expect one
number of each week during the first four weeks
of session, and two or three numbers of each a
week afterwards, until the end of the session Each
volume will probably comprise two thousand royal
quarto pages, of small type.
Complete indexes to the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX will be sent to subscribers after
Congress adjourns
Nothing Of political party aspect will appear in
the GLOBE save that which will be found in the
Congressional Reports A paper assuming TO be
an impartial vehicle for all sides cannot maintain
its character if the editorial columns reflect party
hue.
