PROSPECTUS FOR s'IHE OLOGE,
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER
| THE APPROACH OF CONS RESS calls for the
renewal ofmy proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II 10

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, Q!
all parties, has borne testimony TO the fidelity win
which the duty thus conhded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers

The undersigned has made preparations

sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that il has been Tor several years past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session ON a super!ine double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
ma Ike any alterations; the current news OF the day
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL e Lose and APPENDIX.
The CoSG EssIoSAL GLoBE Is made up of the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type (brevler and nonparel, in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches OF the Members, in this frat form,
sometimes CONFERENCE.-The full report Of tho
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
DIX. All resolutions motions, and other proceed
ings, 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 Officers
OF the Government that accompany IT, and all
Speeches of Members OF Congress, written out
revised themselves. II ia printed in the came form
as the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and usually makes
about the same numtcr of pages during a session.
