| TINE 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-thc consequent broaching of
a new policy touching the internal concerns of the
Countrywide new and most important issues arising
from the late vast accession TO the public donoin,
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 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, each succeed
ing day, while measures maturing, is, in effect,
/ to bring the whole nation into council. The dis
CUSTOM spreading from the Capitol to the rcmotest
parts OF the Union, forms n 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
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 10 Congress; Its materials
and machinery of the best sort; and the exclu-
sve devotion of the individual who for many
years has made il his study to embody and publish
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 the additional number of Reporters
required-the extra charges incurred in printing at
night the debates of the preceding day-the vast
Tradition made 10 the mass published, by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports gven,will
render our enterprise a failure, unless Congress
shall so far pntronise il TO become purchaser
of such portion of the daily sheets issued shall
contribute TO make the reports that fill them The
undersigned has yentured ON the preparation he
has made for the next Session in the expectation

and give them circulation as Congressional docu-
ments in their several districts This will enable
the publisher to bear the charge Of reporting, and
1t will give an impulse to the circulation Of the
Congressional Print which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (the expense of preparation consid-
cred, } will yet yield sufficient profit to make the
| system permanent.

The GIoBE will be published daily during the
/ session of Congress, and weekly the remainder of
the year; and will undergo distribution in the form
of WEEKLY GLOBE, a CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
I an APPENDIX.
The WEEKLY GLOBE will contain Agricultural
/ and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally
| give debates Of such importance as command uni
/ ycrsal interest
| The price of the WEEKLY GLOBE is reduced 10
one dollar, with view To obtain a more general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
| S2 per annum will be charged only 8 after the
/ expiration Of the first year.
The CoSsREssIoNAL GLOBE 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 Executive Departments.
| The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPENDIX will
be published as fast as the proceedings of Congress
| viii make a number. Subscribers may expect ono
| number Of each week during the first four weeks
/ Of session, and two three numbers of each a
week afterwards until the end Of the session. Each
volume will probably comprise two thousand royal
| quarto pages, Of small type.
! Complete indexes 10 the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX will be sent 10 subscribers after
Congress adjourns.
Nothing of political party aspect will appear in
! the GLoBE save that which will be found in the
Congressional Reports. A paper assuming to be
an impartial vehicle for all sides cannot maintain
ts character If the editorial columns reflect party
