THE approach of Congress calls out the annual
Il Prospectus of the GLOBE Establishment.
The time is full of interest. The coming in Of
new Administration-thc consequent broaching OF
new policy touching the internal concerns of the
countryside new and mostimportant issues arising
from the late accession 10 the public domain,
and the great national objects associated with it,
the impending difficulty III our relations with
France, and the possible complication of affairs
with the troubles OF Europe,-conspire 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 SO many questions Of
vital interest the Republic will draw forth all the
talent of the National Legislature. To bring its
deliberations home 10 the people, ON each succeed
ing day, while measures are 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 II 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 CLOSE 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
years has made it his study TO embody and publish
the abors OF Congress, givesTeason 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
requiredthe 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, will
render our enterprise a failure, unless Congress
shall so 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 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-
ments in their several districts. This will enable
the publisher TO bear the charge of reporting and
it will give 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
+. p BLAIR in Jackson Hall-the printing office,
machinery and material-becomes the sole proprie-
tor thereof, and will give his exclusive attention to
the Congressional Department. j c. PICKETT will
conduct the Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper f. p BLAIR retires from both concerns,
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
prosperity.

session Of Congress, and weekly the remainder of
the year, and will undergo distribution in the form

So per annum will be charged only 81 after the

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 Executive Departments.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX will

! the GLOBE that which will be found in the

its character if the editorial columns reflect party
hue.
