PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
YsHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal ofmy proposals and preparations to
spread it's debates before the public. The success
| which has hitherto attended this undertaking il 10
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
an official character the reporter Of all that Is
said and done in the body. This s1hction has been
voted ut 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 confidcd has been performed.
The great ccierty with Which the letter writer's
Tor TIE distant through the tcegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CoHohEesioSAL
GLoDE. The hasty and In many instances r pdrfe,
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 nr lees abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their mperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the run OF the country and no press but the ohcia
OF Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmntilatcd. In
decd, no newspaper can give thesn and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential TO their xstence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
written epitome suited to the taste of its patrons,
perfect information Of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation oil the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OH ~ Inc
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, SATISFIES curiosity and II IS al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there are great many men OF leisure ana
| thought who like to see what isactually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There others, too who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronlzea work
which preserved full record Of the doiDgs 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 $500 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 hash been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no 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 superine double royal sheet. u will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
make any atcratiousj the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
70 see their remarks in il, and alter them If they
shal think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE and APPESpIx.
The CoNGR EssIoSAL GLoBB is made up OF the |
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparel,) in quarto FORM each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages. |
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report OF the |
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
pix. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An |
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany IL, and all |
Speeches Of Members OF Congress, written out or
revised themselves. 1t is printed in the came form
the Cong EssoSAL LOBE, and usually makes |
about the came number of ages during session. |
During the first month or ak weeks of a session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a weck-onc Of CONGRESSIONAL |
GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
inaInder Of a session there 10 usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every |
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CosGREssIoSAL |
GLopE and APPENpIx together will make at least |
500 large quarto pages, printed in small type |
BREWER and nonparcii Complete Indexes TO both |
will be furnished at the end OF a sccsion.
