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

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
VINliE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
Il renewal OF my proposals and preparations to
spread 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 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 conhded has been performed.
The great celerity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates Of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances &c parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ta-
ken down by reporters and which formerly, IN
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorings, take
the run OF the country and no press but the oicia
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 xistence While, therefore, the
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 epitome suited the taste Of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished The circulation oil the official
reports has been. to some extent cut oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and 1t ID al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there 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
galyanic batteries. There Others too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record Of the doings OF the
md e.
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 less than $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 300 pages each The
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
will 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 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 a superfine double royal sheet. IL will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day.

CoNGREssIoNAL LoBE and APPENDIx
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparel) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPrs-
pa An re.ua.tions, motions, and other proceed

the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal ofcers
OF the Government that accompany It, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves IL is printed in the same form
az the CoNoREssIosAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during a session.
During the first month or six weeks OF session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a weck-one OF { CoHGREssIoSAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
maInder Of a session there Is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will he unusually interest

GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
