PROSPECTUS FOR .rHE GLOBE"

PROSPECTUS FOR "rHE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
L renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread it's debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it's
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 il
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant prcss circulate through the telegraph
their buried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports oftbe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er pdrts,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede for the Inost part the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In
shape more or less abbreviated went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with ell
their inpcrfeotions and variety OF colorings. 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 for Congress news, and meets the necessi
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 official
reports has been, to some extent, cut on Dy the
crude and diversified accounts which, hyiug along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity. and 1t 10 al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are q great many men Of leisure and
thought who like to see what ia actually said and
done in Congress, and ojudge Tor themselves,
rather than receive impressions altogether from
gaIvanic batteries There are others, too, who for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves a full record of the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
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 3,5o0
royal quarto pages OF brewer o ana nonparsn 'yRc

sion all laws that may be passed during the
sion which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expcnse OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past
The DAILY GLoBE will be published during the
session on supcrfnc double royal sheet. II will

make any alterations the current news OF the day,

publishing the daily paper 10 to enable Members

The CoseR REssloSAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,

number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members. in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report oil the
