PRosPEcrus FOR THE GLOBE.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal Of MY proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II -

The iul history of the proceedings and
OF the body on which the destiny OF the Repuohc
depends
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character as the reporter Of all that is
said and done In the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
and by members of all partie'. The press too, Of
all parties, has borne testimony 10 the fidelity with
which the duty thus contded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views oil the debates OF
Congress, renders important than ever the
full and exact official reports Of the CoSGREssoEAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances tr paTle'
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the mostpaT. the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters and which formerly, In a
shape more loss abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with All
their imperfections and variety Of colorings To ne

public for Congress news, and meets the necessi'

reports has been, to some extent, cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along

Still there are great many men OF leisure and

the sake Of the future. willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record OF the doings of the

public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance OF the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
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 less than 5,5oo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparen type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave
raging 97l royal quarto pages each.

sion all laws that may be passed during the scs-

this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superhne double royal sheet. IL Will

make any alterations; the current newe OF the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
TO see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they published In the
CoNoREssIoNAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNeR EssIoNAL GLOBE ID made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with email
type (brever and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this fret form,
are sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPEs-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ipgs, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX il made up OF the Presidents An

mainder of a session there Ia usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every

GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages printed in small type
