FINHE 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 accession TO the public domain,
and the great national objects associated with it,
the impending difficulty in 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 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 to the remoest
parts Of the Union, forms public opinion which
reacts upon Congress and controls its decisions.
| To become a useful instrument, however hum
bic, 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 are of the best sort; and the excu-
| sve devotion of the individual who for so many
years has made it his study to embody and publish
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 10 the mass published by the pro-
tracted sessions and the fuller reports given,-wll
| render our enterprise a failure, unless Congress
shall 80 far patronise ii 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 as many daily
sheets for each Member, 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
1t will give impulse to the circulation of the
Congressional Print, which, although the cheapest
in the Union, (the expense of preparation consd-
cred will yet yield sufficient profit TO make the
| system permanent
JOHN G. RIvEs having purchased the interest of
| F. 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
conductive Miscellaneous Department of the News
paper. +. p. BLAIR retires from both concerns,
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
| prosperity.

| session of Congress, and weekly the remainder of

The WEEKLY GLOBE will contain Agricultural
and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally

expiration of the first year.

number of each week during the first four weeks

the GLOBE save that which will be found in the

its character if the editorial columns reflect party
hue.
