PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE

THE CONGRESSIONAL. NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of my proposals. and preparations P, to
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it 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 fepubhc
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
an official character as 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 hdety with
which the duty thus con6ded has been performed.
The great celerity with which the letter rwritcrs
for the distant press crc uate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances sI pdrfe,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs IN Congress
supcrscde, for the most part the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and which iorheriy, me. IN a
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their iInpcrfectio and variety OF coorings take
the run Of the country and no press D1, a e ,
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
Telegram ph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necess. :.
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, hying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and 1t is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow;
Still there great many men OF leisure ana
thought who like to zee what is actually said and
done in Congress- and to judge for themselves,
rather than receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There are others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves full record Of the dolngs OF the
sTno nd controlling power OF the hc-
public.
mcnsurate with the increased importance OF inc
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 3,ooo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonparel type,
making 4 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 APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price VIII 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
era, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day.
and miscellaneous matter The main object Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
10 zee their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shal think proper before they are published In the
CoSoREssioNAL g LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE ID made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed double royal paper, with small
type, (brevicr and nonpare,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, in this hrst form,
are sometimes condcnsed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPES-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other ptoceed-
iprra oiven in the OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays 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 1t, and all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. Ii is printed in the same form
as the CoNGREssioSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
abou, the same number of pages during scssion.
During the fret month or SIX weeks OF session.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one OF CosoRgssIoSAL
GLOBE and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
Inainder Of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSGREssIoSAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes to both
will be furnished at the end of a session.
will endeavor TO print n sufficient number
of surplus copies TO supply all that may be miscar

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 satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for 1t will be re-
funded 20 them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. VIII
