THE GLOBEs
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary
Newspaper.
TINE approach of Congress calls out the annual
j. Prospectus OF the GLoPE Establishment,
The time is full of interest. The coming in Of n
new ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS consequent branching 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 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, 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
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-
sive devotion OF the individual who for so many
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 on the additional number of Reporters
requred-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,
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall far patronise it as to become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued 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 as many daily
sheets for each Member at the subscription price,
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-
ered,) will yet yield sufficient profit TO make the
| system permanent.
| JOHN c. RIvEs having purchased the interest Of
machinery and material-bccomes the sole propre-
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. 4Fmr

the year; and will undergo distribution in the form
| of WEEKLY GLOBE, a CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and

circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
| So per annum will be charged only 81 after the
| expiration of the first year.

has done for the last sixteen years. Congressional
| proceedings and debates exclusively.

| separately, and the messages of the President of
the United States and the reports of the Heads Of
! the Executive Departments. FN
The CONGRESSIONAL e LOBE and APPENDIX will
be published as fast the proceedings of Congress
viii make number. Subscribers may expect one
number of each a week during the first four weeks
Of a session, and two or three numbers of each a

Complete indexes to the CONGRESSIONAL LOBE
and APPENDIX will be sent to subscribers soon after
Congress adjourns.
Nothing Of political party aspect will appear in
| the GLOBE save that which will be found in the

its character if the editorial columns reflect party
| hue.
