PROSPECTUS FOR "TIiE GLOBE"


THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before she pubic. me success
which has hitherto attended TINS undertaking ltis
hoped will continue, and enable me 10 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 sanction has been
voted at every successive session Tor 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
Conprcss renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
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
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, win all
their impc rfectons and variety oi colorlngs take
the run of the country and no press but the oiicai
of Congress ever publishes the lui uepa'e Win
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, newspaper can give them, ahu nave lool
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the hecessi-
ties of the political press, by furnshng raplaly-
written eptome 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 OF by the
crude and diversified accounts which, hying along
the electric wires, satsfes curiosity, and II ls al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots 10 'oiiow
Still there are a great many men OF leisure ana
tbou ght who like to what is actually SAID and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves
rather than TO receive impressions altogether rom
ealvanc batteries. There are others, too, who Tor
the sake of the future, willingly pa'roniZea VOTE pr,

great moving and controlling power OF the nc
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 nonparell type,
making 4 volumes of near 900 pages each: Inc
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
ouarto pa yes, and were bound III volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
Twill publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
uion which hasnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase in small degree the expense oi
