THE GLOBE;
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary


TINE approach of Congress calls out the annual
i Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in of
new Administraton-the consequent broaching of
new policy touching the internal concerns of the
country-the new and ostimportant issues arising
from the late vast accession To the public domain,
and the great national objects associated with it
the impending difficulty i'll our relations with
France and the possible complication OF our affairs
with the troubles OF Europe,-conspire to create
great expec taton 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
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
bic, to assist the working of the admirable ma
chinery Of our popular institutions s 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 ablcst
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
portancc. 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--thc vast
addition made to the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports given,will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall 80 far patronise il as 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-
mcnts 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
ered,) will yet yield sufficient profit to make the
system permanent.

Tic GioBE will be published daily during the
session of Congress, and weekly the remainder of
the year; and will undergo distribution in the form

give debates of such Importance 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
81 per annum will be charged only s after the
expiration of the FIRST year.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will embody, il
has done for the last sixteen years, Congressional
proceedings and debates exclusively.
The APPENDIX will embrace the revised speeches
I r.
the United States and the reports Of the Heads of
the Executive Departments
The CoSGREssIoSAL GLOBE and APPENDIX will
be published as fast the proceedings Of Congress
will make number. Subscribers may expect one
number of each week during the first four weeks
Of a session, and two three numbers of each
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 CLONE

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 10 be
an impartial vehicle for all sides cannot maintain
it's character IL the editorial columns reflect party
hue.
