PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the pubic. 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 which the destiny OF the Republic
depends ~
an official character the reporter OF all that ls
said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session ior many years,
and by members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the hdeity with
which the duty thus contided has been performed
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press ulate through the
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eT pdre,
relations by telegraph of what occurs In Congress
supcrsede for the most part the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters and winch formerly, IN a a
shape more less abbreviated, went the ROUNDS
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the run of the country and no press but the ohcial
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses uhmutiiateo. 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 tne
public ior Congress news, and meets the necessl-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information of what passes In Congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the onclal
reports has been, to some extent, cut OH by the
crude and diversified accounts which, nyihg aiohg

most in vain that truth puts on his boots 70 Ioiow;
Still there are a great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress- and tojudge for themselves
rather than to receive impressions altogether from

duty he has undertaken as the only reporter aho
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
of both Houses of Congress. Ihe coming session
will probably be extended nine months, and the
reports will not be comprised IN less than s,ooo
roval Quart pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each: The

raging 974 royal quarto pages each.

The CoSaREssIoNAL GLOBE ID made up oi the

as the CoSoREssIoSAL u LOBE, and usually MAKES
about the ga me number of pages during session
During the frat month or six weeks OF sessioL
there is rarely more business done tbpn VIII make
two numbers wsek-one OF e eCoseRFssioSAL
