THE GLOBE,
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary



A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary
Newspaper.
TTNHE 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 Administration--the 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 relations with
France, and the possible complication of our 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 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 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 useful instrument, however hum
bic, 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-
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
advance VIII be made IN the accomplishment OF tins
undertaking Commensurate with Its increased inn
portance. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequent on the additional number Of Reporters
reqqlred-the extra charges incurred in printing at
night the debates of the preceding day-the vast
addition made 10 the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports gven,-will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall 30 far patronise il to become purchaser
OF such portion of the daily sheets issued as shall
contribute 10 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, dcfray the expense Of reporting
and give them circulation as Congressional docu-
ments in their several districts This will enable
the publisher 10 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 consd
cred will yet yield sufficient profit TO make the
system permanent.
