PROSPECTUS FOR "TIIE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEwsPAPER.
TNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal Of my proposals. and preparations TO
spread its debates before the pubic. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking tits
hoped will continue, and enable mo to perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destiny of the Republic
The adoption of Congress has given the GLopE
an official character the reporter of all that s
sad and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many ycars,
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 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 CoNaREssioNAL
GLoBE. The hnsty, and in many instancese e1 PGrte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs In Congress
superscde, for the most part tho exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape moro or less abbreviated, went the rounds
their imperfsctions and variety Of colorings take
the run Of the country. and no press but the omcial
of Congress ever publishes tho full debate With
the proceedings OF both Houses unmutiiated. In
deed, no 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
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written ept6me suited TO the taste Of its patrons,
perfect information Of what passes In Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF theofhciai
reports has been, to some extent, cut Oh BY the
crude and diversi6ed accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and II is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
thought who like to see what 10 actually said and
done n Congress, and TO judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There arc others, too who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves q full record OF the doings of the
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
