PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vINIE APPROACH OF CONG RESS calls for the
i renewal Of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1T ID
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 prc5s, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony TO the fidelity with
which the duty thus contided has been performed.
The great cclerity 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
full and exact official reports ofthe CoNdRkssIoNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances tr pdrte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supcrsede for the most part, the exact repors Ia
ken down by reporters and which iormeriy, IN
shape moro or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their inpcrfections and variety Of colorings take
the Of the country, and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the inli 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 exiscnce While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public ior Congress news, and meets the necessi.
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitomc suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect information of what passes IN Congress is
greatly diminished. The circ IlatIon oil the ofhclal
reports has been, to some extent, cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and 1t ls al
most in vain that truth puts on bis 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 tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galyanic batteries There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves a 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 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
rcports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.

this will increase in small degree the expense of

same that it has been for several years past

shall think proper before they published in the
CosGREssIosAL G LoBx and APPENDIX.
The CoSGR EssIosAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareil) 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 ArP1s'
DIX. Ill resolutions, motions, and other proceed
iugs, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Officers
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II is printed in the same form
as the CoscRKssIosAL GLoBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF a sessioL
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers weck-one Of { c CosGREssIosAL
LOBE and one Of the APPKsDIx, but during the re-
InaInder of a 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 CoSoREssiorAL
GLoBr and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparcil. Complete Indexes TO both
