THE GLOBE,
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary
NeWspaper.


A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary
u. Newspaper.
rINHE 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 Administration-the consequent broachng of
new policy touching the internal concerns of the
country-the 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
cusson, spreading from the Capitol to the remotest
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
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 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-
| sve 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
advance will be made in the accomplishment OF this
| undertaking commensurate with its increased i'm
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,-wi
render our enterprise a failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise it to become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute to make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned has vcntured 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
it will give an impulse to the circulation of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (the expense of preparation consid-
cred will yet yield sufficient profit to make the
system permanent.
| JOHN c. RIvEs having purchased the interest Of
F. P. BLAIR in Jackson Hall-the printing Office,
machinery and material -bccomes the sole proprie-
tor thereof, and will give his exclusive attention to
the Congressional Department. J. C. PICKETT will
conductive 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 GLOBE, CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
| an APpENpIx.
| 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 more general
| circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
| So per annum will be charged only S after the
| expiration of the first year.
The CoSeREssIoNAL GLoBE will embody, as it
has done for the last sikteen 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 GLOBE and APPENDIX will
be published as fast as the proceedings of Congress
viii make number. Subscribers may expect one
| number of each week during the first four weeks
| of session, and two 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 GLosr save that which viii be found in the
/ Congressional Reports paper assuming to be
an impartial vehicle for all sides cannot maintain
its character if the editorial columns reflect party
hue.
