PROSPECTUS FOR ..THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the |
renewal of'ny proposals and preparations % to
spread its debates before ths pubic, lne success
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuatc
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 GL6DE
an official chara the reporter of all that Ia
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
and by lncnbcrs Of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus c0niidcd has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press through tho telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates Ut
Congress-, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances e1 pGrtc,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, IN
shape more or Tess abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with MI
their inperfections and variety OF coorings, take
the run Of the country aud no press but the ohcial
OF Congress ever publishes the iu4l debate wltn
the proceeding gs Of both Houses unmutiated. 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 the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi
tics OF the political press, by furnlshlng rapidly
written cpitome suited to the taste OF its patrons
perfect information of what passes In congress is
greatty diminished The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut oil by the
crude and diveraifed accounts which, tying along
the electric wircs satisfies curiosity and IT ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots TO follow
Still there are great many men Of leisure and
thought who like to see what - acLualiy SAID ana
done in Congress- and to Judge Tor themselves,
rather than receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There are others, too, who for
the sake of the future, willingly patronlzea work
which preserves full record of the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public. ,,- a s
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken 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 5,5O0
royal quarto pages Of BREWER 1 and nonpareii type
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royai
quarto pages, and were bound in 4 volumes, ave-
raging 97s royal quarto pages each.
l will publish in the ArPENDfx Tor the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the scs-
sion, which hasno been done heretofore Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price VIII be the
game that il has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superfinc double royal sheet II will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and misccllancous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
To their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they published In the
Cos0R Esslo NAL q LOBE and APPENDIX.
Tho CoSGR EssIoSAL GLOBE 10 made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Honscs OF Congress,
aad printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brcvicr and nonparcl, In quarto torm each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The spceches Of the Members, in this hrst iorm,
arc sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APrEN
DIX. Ali resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question.
The ArpEsprx is made up of the Presidents An
nusl Message, the Reports OF tho principal oinccrs
of tho Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II is printed in the same iorm
IA the Coso EsssosAL G LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during q asess'on.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF sessloi
there 10 rarely more business done t9en VIII MAKE
two numbers a weck-onc Of Z c CosGREssiosAL
q LOIS and one Of the ArrEspix; but during there
