PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of my proposals and preparations 10
spread its debates before the pubic. Inc 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 Repuohc
depends
The adoption of Congress- has given the GLOBE
en- 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 winters
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 OF the CoNdREssioNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances cr pdrte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs Ill Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports Ia
Ken down by reporters, ana wnich lorincrly, ia a q
shape more or less abbreviated. went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with III
their imperfections and variety OF colorngs, take
the Of the country, and no press but the ociai
of Congress ever publishes the luli oeoate WIN
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed no newspaper give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence While, therefore, the
public ior Congress news, and meets the necessl-
ties 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 offclal
reports has been, to some extent, cut on by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and IL is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots 10 Ioow;
Still there arc great many men of leisure and
thought who like to sec what is actually said ana
done in Congress, and ojudge for themselves,
rather than receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There are others, too Who' ior
the sake of the future, willingly patronlze work
which preserves full record Of the dolngs OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
meusurate 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. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reoorts will not be comprised in less than 3,oO0
royal ouarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
makinr volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royai
ouarto pages and were bound IN volumes, ave.
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
Twill publish in the APPENDIX Tor the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore Alnoush
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price VIII DC the
same that it has been for several years past:
The DAILY GLOBE Will be published during the

ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF tne aay'
and miscellaneous matter The main onJect ior
publishing the daily paper Ia to enable Members
10 see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
sbaIl think proper before they published IN the
CosoREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX;
The CoNoRE EssIoNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with email
type (brevier and nonpareil) in quarto iorn' each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, IN TINS hrst iot IA,
prepared speeches being reserved ior the APPEs-
PIX All resolutions, motions and other proceed
ings are given in the form OF the Journals Win
The yeas and nays on every iInpor'ahe n,,a
nual Message the Reports Of the principal ofhcers
of the Government that accompany ~, ana All
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves Ii is printed IN the same iorh
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF se5sioL
there s rarely more business done tean VIII iiahe
two numbers a week--one OF tie CoNGREssioNAL
GIonK and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malnder of a session there is usually suihcleht
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session Will be unusuaiiy interest
ing: therefore calculate that the CoNoREssIoNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
g. 800 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes To both
