PROSPECTUS FOR .THE GLOBE"

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals. and preparations pPPs 70
spread its debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking tits
hoped will continue, and enable me 10 perpetuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
of the body 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 for many years,
and by neInbers of all parties. The press too, OF
all parties, has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus coniided has been performed.
Tho great cclcrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant prcs5 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 OF the CoN GREssIoNAL
GLOBE The hasty, and in many instances er paTte,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs IN Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports ia
zen down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more or iess abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety OF coorings, take
the of the country and press but the ofnclai
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings,of both Houses unmuilated In
deed no newspaper can give them, and nave room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential 70 their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite ol the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitomc suited to the taste oi ts patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut OH by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, ana IL is al
most in vain that truth puts on MS boots 10 'oow
Still there arc Il great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to zee what is actually SAID and
done in Congress, and toJudge lor themselves,
Gather than to receive Impressions altogether from
,yalvanic bateres. There are others, too who, for
the sake of the future willingly patronlzea work
which preserves full record of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
mcnsurate 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 quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes Of near 600 pages each. Ihe
