PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"

eaid 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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers

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 In Congress
supcrsede, for the most part the exact reports ia
ken 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 imperfectio and variety of coorings, take
the run Of the country, and press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full 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 existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi'
ties of the political press by furnishing raPldly
