PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"


PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGR EssIoNAL NEWSPAPER.
TINE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
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
The adoption of Congress has given the LOBE |
an official character the reporter of all that is |
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
and by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus confdcd has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates oi
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLosE. The hasty, and in many instanceser parfe,
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 Tess abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfcctions and variety OF colorngs, take
the run Of the country, and no press but the oncia
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate Win
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to THERE xistence. 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 ia
greatly diminished. The circulation Of the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OH by het
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and It IS 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 isactually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
salvanic batteries. There are others, too who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record of the dolngs OF the
great moving and controlling power OIL the he
public. ..... ....a,.. a...a.. @
The undersigned has made preparations com.
mepsurate with the Increased Importance OF the
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter ano
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 $500
royal quarto pages OF brewer and nonPareh type,
making volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made ,S96 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In volumes, ave.
raging 974 royal quarto pages each ..
Twill publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
son which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degreethe expense 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 super6ne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
crs, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news of the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
to sec their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGR KssIoNAL GLOBE ia made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonpareii) in quaro form, each
number containing sixteen royal qnarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
arc sometimes conference.-the full report Of the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArpEN
Dix. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in tho form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays Oh every important question.
The AppENDIx ia made up Of The Presidents An
nua Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the Eame form
Us the Conc EssioNAL CLONE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or six weeks OF sessioL
there is rarely more business done than Will make
two numbers week-one OF t. g CoNGREssioNAL
GLOBE and one of tho APPENDIX; but during the re-
rnainder of session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNGR EssioNAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type.
