PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vI>HE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of.my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
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 Republic
depends; o,,,,, oe coorrss. h,s given the g ,o1x
an official character the reporter OF all that ID
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 ildeLty with
which the duty thus conided has been performed.
The great ceerty with which the letter-writers
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 OF the CONGRESSIONAL
CLONE. The hasty, and in many instances er porte,
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
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their irnpcrfectons and variety OF colorings take
the Of the country, and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
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-
tics of the political prese, 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 1t is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there great many men OF Leisure and
thought who like TO see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries There are others, too, VINO, ior
the sake of the future, willingly patronize work
which preserves full record OF the doings OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.

duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings

will probably be extended nine months, and the

During the first month or weeks OF a session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one of tie CoSGR EssIoNAL

Inainder of a session there is usually sufhcient
