| PROSPECTUS FOR ..TIIE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
| THE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
| l. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
| spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1T 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
| depends.
The adoption Of Congress has given the GLOBE
official character 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 confided has been performed.
| The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant prcss ulate through the
their hurried accounts and views oi the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
| GLOBE The hasty, and in many instances er parfe,
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 a
| shane more or Tess abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their Projections and variety OF coorngs, ia Ike
the of the country and no press but the ohciai
| of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
| the proceedings Of both Houses unmuiatcd. In
| deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
| for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
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 oil by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and u Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots TO follow
| Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what Is actually SAID and
| done in Congress, and to oJudge Dr themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
gavanic batteries. There others, too, who, for
| the sake of the future, willingly paronlzea work
which preserves full record of the doings of the
| great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
| public.
| The undersigned has made prepa parations 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 5000
royal qua rto pages of BREWER and nonpareii type
making 4 volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 3,s9o roya
| quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave
raging ga royal quarto pages each.
! will publish in the APPENDIX Tor the next ses
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense o
the publication, the subscription price viii be Tho
| same that il has been Tor several years pact.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during th,
| session on a superhne double royal sheet. IL will
contain the debates as taken dow hy .hs rsps~'
ers, and as altered by the speakers whenever they
make any alterations; the current news oil the Day
| and miscellaneous matter The main OBJECT io'
publishing the daily paper 10 TO enabo Members
to see their remarks in IL, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they arc published IN th
CoSGREssiosAL G. LOBE and APPEsDIn.
The CoSGREssioSAL GLOBE IL made up OF tn
daily proceedings OF the two Houses Of Congress
and printed on double royal paper, with smai
and In gaCi
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches OF the Members, in this first form
are sometimes condcnscd-the full report OF tn
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPrN
Dix All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings are given in the form OF the Journals, VIII
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPEEplK is made upof the Presidonts An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Ohlcer
| of the Government that accompany Il, and al
Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written out o.
| revised themselves. IL printed IN the same Torn
| AZ the CoxGREssIoNAL GLOBE, and usually make
about the came number Of pAgos during session.
During the fret month or six weeks OF session
there is rarely more business done than will max
two numbers vcok-onc OF cCoNGREssioSA
| CIops aud one Of the ArPsNDII; but during the re
, | ma,nder Of a session there ia usually sufiicen
| matter for two or three numbers Of each ever,
week. The next session Will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNG GaEssioNA
GLoBs aud APFEsDix together will make at leas
3 500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER nd nonparcil. Complete Indexes TO bot
will be furnished at tho end OF a session.

Of surplus copies TO supply all that may be miscar
ned or lost In the mails but subscribers shoul
be very particular 60 file their papcrs carefully, 70
fear that ] should not be able to supply all tn
lost numbers.
N subscribers shall not be satisfied with tn
work the money paid by them for II will be re
funded 10 them whenever they return the number
which may have been received by them. i wi
give subscribers the subscription pri5e Tor any
