PROSPECTUS FOR "rnE GLOBE"

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations 10
spread its debates before the public The succcss
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate,
the full history OF the proceedings and DISC ussions
of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
depends;
official character as the reporter Of all that is
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 confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CoNGR EssIoNAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances sI pdrte,
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 less abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorings, take
the Of the country and no press but the official
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses uEmutilated. In
decd, no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essentia to their existence While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necess-
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 OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, hy!ng 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 Is actually said and
done in Congress, and to Judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There others, too who, for
the sake Of the future, willingly patronlze work
which preserves full record of the doipgs OF the
-cat nnv inn rnnfTODU
public
The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsurae with the increased Importance Of the
duty be 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 5000
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 APPESpIx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which has not 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
eession on superfine double royal sheet. II will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
To their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they published in the
CoSGREssIoNAL q LOBE and Appendix.
The CoNGR EssIoSAL GLOBE ia made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brcyer and nonpareil) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the ArPEN-
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 APrESDIx Is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message the Reports Of the principal Otlcers
of the Government that accompany 1T, and all
Speeches of Members OF Congress- written out or
revised themselves. IL is printed in the same form
as the CoSG REssIoSAL GLoBE and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during session.
During the first month or Six weeks OF sessiof
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-onc Of te CoSoREssIoSAL
q and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mandcr of a 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 CoSeREssIoTAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together Will make at least
: 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparcil. Complete Indexes TO both
will be furnished at the end Of a session.
