PROSPECTUS FOR "THN GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
V>HE APPROACH OF CONGRESS- calls for the
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable INC to perpetuate
the full history cfthc proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends.
The abortion of Congress has given the LOBE
an onicpi character as the reporter of all that is
SAID ard done in the body This sanction has been

ard 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 writer's
ior Che distant press circulate through the telegraph
tRer hurried accounts and views of the debates Of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
tnll asd exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
NLopE The hasty, and in many instances er pdrte
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supersedc for the most part, the exact reports ta
zen 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 imperfections and variety OF coorings, take
the run OF the country and no press but the official
OF Congress- ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiinted. In
decd, no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor adve ertlsements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite Of the
puolic for Congress news, and meets the neccssi-
Ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome 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 off by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and 1t Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Sull there arc great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves full record of the doipgs 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 $500
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes OF near 900 pages each The
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound In volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
| will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase in small degree the 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 superhne 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 miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper Is TO enable Members
TO see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they published in the
CosGREssIoNALG 6 LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE IL made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type, (brcvier and nonparel) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
sometimes condcnscd-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEs-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX s made up OF the Presidents An I
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes !
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF a session /
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a weck-one of tie CoSoREsstosAL
GLohE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
Iualnder of a session there is usually suthclent
matter for two or three numbers OF each every |
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSGREssIoNAL |
GLosE and APPENDIX together VIII make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small typo
BREWER and nonparcil. Complete Indexes to both |
will be furnished at the end OF n session.
will cndeavor TO print sufficient number |
rcd, or lost in the mails; but subscribers should /
he very particular TO file their papers carefully, for
fear that should not be able to supply all the |
loet numbers.
II subscribers shall not be satisfied with the |
work, the money paid by them for IL will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. | will
give subscribers the subscription price for any OF
the previous volumes of the CoSGREssioSAL GLonE
or the AFPENDix, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
