PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
L renewal ofmy proposals and preparations to
spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il Is
hoped will continue, and enable me to pcrpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
depends. d
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 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 ofth CONGRESSIONAL
GLonx. The hasty, and in many instances eI parte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs In Congress
supersede, for the most part, the exact reports ta-
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 imperfectons and variety OF colorings. take
the run OF the ana no @ Ou! sne ,h
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them. and have room
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 neccssi.
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, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity. and it is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots To Ioilow
Still there are great many men of leisure and
thought who like to see what ID actually said and
done in Congress, and ojudge for themselves,
rather than receive impressions altogether from
gaivanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake Of the future willingly patronizea work
which preserves full record Of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power Of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
nensuratc with the increased importance Of the
duty he has undertaken US 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 4 Volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes. ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
I will publish in the APPENDIX for the next Sea-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
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
session on a superfine double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news Of the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
TO their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoNGRKssioNAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNeR sssIoNAL GLOBE ia made up OF tho
daily proceedings Of the two Houscs Of Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brcvier and nonparcil in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
Tho speeches Of the Members, in this frst form,
are sometimes oondensed-the full report OF the
prepared specches being reserved for the Arrs.-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nnys on every important question:
The APPENDIX 10 made up OF the President's An
nual Message, the Reports Of the principal Officers
Of tho Government that accompany it, and all
Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II s printed in the same form
the Conc aEssIosAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or Elk weeks VI a sessior.
there 10 rarely more business done than will make
two numbers week-onc OF tie CONGRESSIONAL
GLowE and ono Of the APPENDIX; but during there
rnandcr Of a session there IL usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers Of enoh every
week. The next session will he unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSoR oREssIosAL
GLoBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pagcs, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparcii. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.
l will cndcavor to print sufficient number
of surplus copies TO supply all that may be miscar
ried, lost in the mails but subscribers should
fear that should not be able TO supply ali the
lost numbers
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for ii will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. | will
give subscribers the subscription price for any Of
the previous volumes Of the CoSeRKssioNAL G. LopK

I have a few copice of the back volumes OF the
CosoRxssrorAL q GloBn and APPENDIX for sale at
35 volume bound, which it is probable will be
disposed OF soon; and when they arc, they will
then, no doubt, command ut least 9 10 volume,
they cannot be reprinted for less than that sum.
There are rs bnck volumes.
