PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TyHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
he full history Of the proceedings and discussions
1f the body on which the destiny OF the Repuoho
depends
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
An official character the reporter OF all that IS
said and done in the body This sanction mas peen
voted at every successive session for many years
and by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony TO the hdellty WIN
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great celerity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates oi
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CoSaREssoNAl
GLOBE. The hasly, and IN many instances e1 paTte'
relations by telegraph OF what OCCURS IN Congress
supersede, iSsSe most part, the exact reports ta-
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with an
their ,nperfections and variety Of coorngs. take
the Of the country, and no press but the ocini
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutlated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential TO their existence. While, therefore, tine
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste OF It's patrons.
perfect information of what passes in Congress Is
+ greatly diminished. The circulation OF the Official
i reports has been, to some extent, cut OH by the
crude and diversified accounts which, Tying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and IT Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
& Still there are great many men oil Leisure and
thought who like to see what Is actually SAID anu
q done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than 10 receive impressions altogether from
ealvanc batteries. There are others, too, who LOT
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves full record OF the dolngs OF tne
great moving and controlling power oil the Ike
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance Oh tne
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter ana
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
of both Houses of Congress The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised IN iess than o,oVo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparell type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each: me
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
Twill publish in the ApPENDIx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense Oh
the publication, the subscription price VIII De inc
same that it has been for several years past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superine double royal sheet. IL VIII

ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the

publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL LOBE and Appendix
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil) i'll quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this hrst form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArpEF-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings are given in the form of the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question
The APPENDIX ID made up OF the Presidents Af-
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Ohicers
of the Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves II ia printed ~ the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF sessloi.
there ia rarely more business done than VIII make
two numbers week-one of G CoNoREssIoNAL
GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of session there ID usually sufhcient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNeREssIoNAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both

/ will endeavor to print sufficient NUMBER
of surplus copies to supply all that may be mscar-
ried, or lost in the mails; but subscribers should
be very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers. .
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work. the money paid by them for it will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. Will
