The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-03-04
PROSPECTUS FOR ..THE GLOBE

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER,
VFNliE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls fer the
4 renewal 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 on which the destiny of the Republic
depends.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
an Official character as the reporter Of all that is
said and dene in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for MANI 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 writer's
Tor the distant press crc uate through the eleyraph
their hurried accounts and vie6a Of the debates of
Congress, renders more ir.iportsn. than ever the
iu and exact otilsa reports OK the Con EssIoNAL
GLoBE. The hasty and "a many instanc es eI parte
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersede, Tor the most part, the exact reports
Ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more Or less abbreviated, went the rounds
oi the press. Now the telegraph accounts with III
their rippcrfections and variety of colorings, take
thc rvn of the country, and press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate with
tpc proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
ueed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
ior advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence While, therefore, the
telegraph admnistcrs to the eager appetite of the
Eubllc ior Congress news, and meets the ncccssi-
Ues OF the political press by furnishing rapidly
written optome 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 scue extent, cut off by the
crude and diversified accounts which,, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and il is al
.nost In vain that truth puts his boots to fellow
sui there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done III Congress, and TO judge for themselves,
rather than to receive Impressions altogether from
gavanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
,he sake of the future, willingly patronizca 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
ncnsurate with the increased importance of the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the cor,pleto debates and proceedings
ot both Houses CT Congress The coming session
VIII probably be extended nine months, and the
reports Will not be comprised in less than 800
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
rsging e74 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next scs-
sion all laws that may be passed during the sea
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that II has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on :, superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, anc as altered by the speakers, whenever they
y,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
po 1lisbing the daily paper is to enable Members
50 sec their remarks IN ii, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoSAL GLOBE is made up Of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (breyier and nonparcil) in quarto FORM each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-;he full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPES-
DIX All resolutions, motions and other proceed
lnSs, are gwen in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question.
The APPESDix Is made up of the Presidenps An !
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany il, and all |
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or |
revised Themselves IL is printed in the same form
as the CoNGREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes |
about the same number Of pages during session. |
During the first month six weeks of a session |
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of CONGRESSIONAL |
GLoBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
maindcr Of a session there is usually sufficient |
matter Tor two three numbers of each every |
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNGREssroSAL |
GLoBs and APPENDIX together will make at least |
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparoil. Complete Indexes TO both /
will be furnished at the end OF u session.
I will endeavor to print sufficient number |
ot surplus copies 20 supply all that may be miscar.
