PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER,
TNHE APPROACH OF CONG RE.SS calls for the
l. renewal off my proposals and preparations TO
sprcad its debates before the public. The SUCCESS
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue and enable me to perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends
The adoption.of Congress has given the C LOBE
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 parties. The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony TO the fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
Tor the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates of
Congress, renders important than the
full and exact official reports the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances pcrte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, Tor the 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 al!
their imperfectons and variety Of colorings, take
the run of the country, and press but the official
ot Congress ever publishes the fell debate with
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 existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necess.
ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpome 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, cot OIL by the
crue.e and diversified accounts which, dying along
tho electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and it i5 al
Inos in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Stlll there arc IA great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and TO- judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There are others, too who, for
tho sake Of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record Of the dopgs of the
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurae 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 less than $500
royal quarto pages OF BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 1856 royal
quarto Pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 97t royal quarto pages each.
VIII publish in the APPENDIX for the next seq
SION all laws that may be passed during the ses
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Although
tho. will increase in small degree the expense of
tie publication, the subscription price will be the
same that il has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLoBE viii be published during the
session superhne double royal sheet. IL will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
make any alterations; the current news OF the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
To their remarks in II, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published ia the
CoNGREssIoNAL q LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLoEE Is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brcvicr and nonpare, in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved Tor the APPES-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the principal olcers
OF the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. Ii is printed in the came form
a the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and usually makes. +.
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF a session
there is rarely more business done than Will make
two numbers a weok-onc of & c CONGRESSIONAL
q GLoBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
Ina'nder of session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSoRrssoNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.

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 satsfed with the

funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. ! will
give subscribers the subscription price for any of
the previous volumes of the CokGREssIoSAL & LOBE
