THE GLOBEi
A Congressional, Agricultural, and Literary
Newspaper.

Il Prospectus of the GIoBE Establishment
The time is full of interest. The coming in of a
| new Adminstration-the consequent broaching of
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 our relations with
France and the possible complication of our 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 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
cussion, spreading from the Capitol to the remoest
! parts OF the Union, forms public opinion which
reacts upon Congress and controls its decisions.
10 become useful instrument, however hum
| BILE, To assist the working of the admirable
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 abest
| Reporters yet known to Congress; its materials
and machinery are of the best sort; and the exclu
siye devotion of the individual who for many
years has made II his study TO embody and publish
the labors OF Congress- gives reason TO hope that
advance VIII be made III 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
requirod-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,-wi
render our enterprise 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 as 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
1t will give an 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
F. p. BLAIR in jackson Hall-the printing Office
machinery and material--becomes the sole propre-
tor thereof, and will give his exclusive attention to
the Congressional Department. J. G. PICKETT will
conductive Miscellaneous Department of the News
| paper. f. p. BLAIR retires from both concerns
with prayers for their permanent usefulness and
prosperity.
The Clone will be published daily during the
session of Congress, and weekly the remainder of
the year; and will undergo distribution in the form
| OF a WEEKLY GLOBE, a CONGRESSIONAL G lobe, and
| an APPENDIX.
| The WEEKLY CLONE will contain Agricultural
| and miscellaneous articles; and will occasionally
give debates OF such Importance as command uni
| versal interest.
| The price of the WEEKLY GLOBE is reduced to
dollar, with "A view to obtain a more general
circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto paid
| 81 per annum will be charged only ST. after the
expiration of the first year.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE viii embody, as it
has done Tor 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 g lobe and APPENDIX will
be published as fast as the proceedings of Congress
will make number Subscribers may expect one
number OF each week during the first four weeks
oil session, and two or 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 TO the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX will be sent to subscribers soon after
! Congress adlourns.
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
its character if the editorial columns reflect party
hue.
