PROSPECTUS FOR .rHE GLOBE"



THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls Tor the

which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t i5
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.
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 hdehty with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press ulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs III Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ta
zen down by reporters, and which formerly, IN
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorings take
the Of the country, and no press but the oIncal
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated In
deed, no newspaper can give them. and nave 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 necessl-
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 OH py the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and II Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots 10 'oow:
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge lor themselves
rather than to receive impressions altogether rom

the sake of the future, willingly patronlze work
which preserves full record of the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
mensurate with the increased Importance OF the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter ana
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
of both Houses of Congress. Ihe coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than 5000
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparell type,
making 4 volumes of near 900 pages each. Inc
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN 4 Volumes ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.

sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion which ha 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 superfine 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 ob)ect ior

shall think proper before they published in the
