THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary

!
! yTNHE 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 Admlnistration--the consequent broachng of
a 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 relations with
France, and the possible complication of our affairs
with the troubles Of Europe,-conspre 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
I talent of the National Legislature. To bring its
deliberations homo 10 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 a useful instrument, however hum
Bile, to assist the working of the admirable ma
chnery 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 are of the best sort; and the exclu
sive devotion, Of the individual who for so many
years has made 1t his study TO embody and publish
the labors of Congress, gives 20 hope that
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 10 the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports gven-will
render our enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall 50 far patronise il as 10 become purchaser
of such portion Of the daily sheets issued as shall
contribute TO make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned has yentured on the preparation he
M fDr Co. in fhae tatio
that Congress will subscribe for as many daily
sheets for each Member, at the subscription price,
az 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 70 bear the charge Of reporting, and
II will give an impulse 70 the circulation Of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (the expense Of preparation consid-
ered,) will yet yield sufficient profit 10 make the
system permanent.
I Jons c. RIvEs having purchased the interest of
y. y. 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. G. PICKETT will
conduct the Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper. +. 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
ola WEEKLY GLOBE, CoSoREssIoSAL GLOBE, and
an APPENDIX.
The WEEKLY GLoBE will contain Agricultural
and MISCELLANEOUS articles; and will occasionally
give debates Of such importance command uni
versal interest.
The price Of the WEEKLY GLOBE is reduced 10
one dollar, with view 10 obtain more general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
So per snnum viii be charged only 81 after the

The CONGRESSIONAL CLONE will embody, as il
has done for the last sixteen 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 GLoBE save that which will be- found in the
