PROSPECTUS FOR "TlE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
VVHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
Il renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread Its deostes before the public The success
which has aithcrto attended this undertaking it is
hoped wii 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.
rhe adoption of Congress has given the C LOBE
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 prcss, too, Of
all parties, has borne testimony ia the fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
iuil and exact o.lcial reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersefe, for the most part the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
slar, more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press Now the telegraph accounts with all
their imperfectiens and variety OF coloring5, take
the of the country and no press but the official
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, 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 necessi-
lies of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome 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, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and 1t Is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow.
Still there great many men of leisure and
thought who like to see what ID actually SAID and
done in Congress, and tojudgc for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from

the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves 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 less than 3,5OO
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparei type,
making volumes OF near goo pages each The
reports for the last long session made $50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal Guarto pages each.
Will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed d,Klng the SEES
zion, which hasnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price Will be the
samr that it has been for several years past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. 1t 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,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members
To their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoNGREssIoSAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREs5IoSAL GLOBE 10 made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brevcr and nonparell) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
