The Globe. 81
Congressional, Agricultural and Literary Newspaper
THE approaching Congress calls out the an
nual prospectus of the Globe establishment
The time is full of interest. The coming in of
a new administraton-th consequent broaching
of q new policy touching the internal concerns
OF the Countrywide new and most important is
sues arising from the late vast accession to the
pubic domain, and the great national objects as
soclated with 1.-THE impending difficulty in our
relations with France, and the possible compli-
cation OF our affairs with the troubles of Europe,
conspire to create great expectations as to tho
proceedings OF the next Congress- The an.
preaching session will probably continue till late
in the summer of 1850. The debates, 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 dcliberu-
tons home to the people, on each succeeding
day, while measures are maturing, is in effect to
bring the whole national into council. The dis
cussion, spreading from the Capitol to the reno
test parts of the Union, forms a public opinion
which reacts upon Congress-, and controls its de-
cisions.
To become useful instrument, however hum
bic, to assist the working of the admirable ma
chincry of our popular institutions, is the ambi-
ton of the conductor of the GLOBE. Extraor-
binary preparations have therefore been made to
meet the increasing demands of our rapidly im-
proving and growing country for congressional
intelligence.
The GLOBE press has already enlisted the a.
blcst reporters yet known to Congress; its ma
chnery of the best sort; and the exclusive
devotion of the individual who for so many years
has made it his study to c.nbody and publish the
labors of Congress, gives reason to hope that
advance will be made in the accomplishment Of
this undertaking commensurate with it's increas-
ed Importance. But the accumulation Of ex-
pense consequent 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 publish
Cd, by the protracted sessions and the fuller re-
ports given-will render our enterprise failure,
unless Congress shall so far patronizc it as to be-
come purchaser of such portion of the daily
sheets issued as shall contribute to make the re-
ports that fill them. The undersigned has ven-
tuced on the preparation he has made for the next
session, in the expectation that Congress will
subscribe for as many daily sheets for each men,
Der, at the subscription price, will in part de-
fray the expense Of reporting, and give them cir
culation as congressional documents in their Sc
vcral districts. This will enable the publisher
to bear the charge of reporting; and it will give
an impulse to the circulation of the COMPRESSION
al print, which, although the cheapest in the u
Mon (the expense of preparation considered)
will yet yield sufficient profit to make the system
permanent.

of F. P. Blair in Jackson Hall-thc printing of
ice machinery and acknowledgements the sole
proprietor thereof, and will give his exclusive
attention to the Congressional department. J.
G. Pickett will conduct the miscellaneous de-
Partment of the newspaper. F. P. Blair retires
