PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR '.THE GLOBE,"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal Of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. lhe 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 CLONE
an 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 hdclty with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates oi
Congress-, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports of the SoNGREssroNAL
GLOBE The hasty, and in many instances eI pdTte,
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 or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their mperfections and variety OF colorings, take
the of the country and preSs but tho ntio,el
of Congress ever publishes tho full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unnutiated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
teegra ph 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 py the
crude and diversified accounts which, hying aion
the electric wres satisfies curiosity, and 1t 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 sald ana
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There are others, too who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work

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 5000
royal uuarto 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 APPENpIx Tor the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the sea-
sion, which has not 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 superfine double royal sheet. 1t 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 o the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper ls TO enable Members
to see their remarks in 1t, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGREssIoNAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The Conc EssIoNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with email
type (brever and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in, this fret form,
are sometimes conference.-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved Tor the ArPKS-
All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ipgs, are 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 Ohcers
of the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revsed themselves. 1t is printed in the same form
as the CoSGREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session
During the first month or Six weeks oil sessio
there ia rarely more business done than Will make
two numbers a week-one Of c CoNoRKssIosAL
GLoBR and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malnder of a session there is usually sulDcent
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSoREssIoNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
; 800 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end OF session
l will endeavor to print sufficient number
of surplus copies to supply all that may be mscar-
ried or lost in the mails but subscribers should
be very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that ! should not be able TO supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfcd with the
work the money paid by them for ii will be
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. will
give subscribers the subscription price Tor any OF
the previous volumes of the CoSoREssioSAL GLOBE
or the APPENDIX, except for the last session, and
will thank any person who will let me have them.
I have a few copies of the back volumes Of the
CoseREssIosAL GLOBE and APPEsDIx for sale at
as volume bound, which il is probable will be
disposed of soon; and when they arc, they will
then, no doubt, command at least Sl0 a volume,
they cannot be reprinted Tor less than that sum-
