THE GLOBE:
Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary


Newspaper.
| TNHE 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 Administration-the consequent broaching of
new policy touching the internal concerns of the
Countrywide new and most important issues arising
from the late vast accession 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 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 are maturing is in effect,
to bring the whole nation into council. The dis
cusson, spreading from the Capitol 10 the remotest
! parts OF the Union, forms public opinion which
reacts upon Congress and controls its decisions.
7 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 are of the best sort; and the cxclu
sive devotion of the individual who for so many
years has made it his study to embody 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 increased inn
portancc. But the accumulation of expense con-
sequent on the additional number Of Reporters
requircd-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,-wil
render enterprise failure, unless Congress
shall so far patronise il as to become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued as shall
contribute TO make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned has vcnturcd 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,
as will, in part, defray the expense OF reporting,
and give them circulation Congressional docu-
ments in their several districts. This will enable
the publisher to bear the charge Of reporting, and
II will give an impulse 20 the circulation of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (thc expense of preparation consid-
cred,) will yet yield sufficient profit 10 make the
system permanent.
