PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for tn


THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGR 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 1t is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
oi the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
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 has been
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus contided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBx. The basty, and in many instances er porte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ia
shape more or Tess abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the Of the ooun no 9b 5 O1t eh,e ins &
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their xisence While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi
ties Of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil 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 Of leisure and
thought who like to what ia actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There others, too. who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize a work
which preserves a full record Of the doings of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance Of the
duty he has undertaken as 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 lcss than ), 500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes Of near 900 pages each. The

sion all laws that may be passed during the scs-
sion which has not been done heretofore. Although
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 a superfnc double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates taken down by the report
era, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members

shall think proper before they published in the

there 10 rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a wcek-one Of CosoRxssrosAL
GLoss and one OF the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder Of . session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every

funded to them whenever they return the numbers
