PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR ..THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1T is
hoped will continue, and enable me TO perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny oil the kepuDhc
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 members of all parties. The press, too, OF
all parties has borne testimony to the hdelty with
which the duty thus confided 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
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eT pdrte,
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 inperfectons and variety OF coiorings, take
the run of the country, and press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no news paper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
teegra ph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the necessi-
tics of the political PRESS by furnishing rapidly
written epiome suited to the taste OF lts patrons,
perfect information of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the official
reports has been, to some extent, cut on Dy the
crude and diversified accounts which, nylng along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity and II ls al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow.
Still there great many men OF leisure ana
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge Tor themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries There 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.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mepsurate 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
report ts will not be comprised In less tilan sow
royal quarto pages OF brewer and nonparei type,
making volumes of near 9OO pages each. Inc
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royai
ouarto pages and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPESpIx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion which hasuot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no 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 superfne double royal sheet. II Will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day
and miscellaneous matter The main object ior
publishing the daily paper Is TO enable Members
TO see their remarks in il, and alter them il they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CoSGREssIosAL GLOBE and APPENpix:
The CoNoR EssioNAL GLOBE Is made up OF the
daiiv proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper with small
type (Drevier and nonparcil) In quarto form, cach
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speechcs of the Members, in this hrst form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
n,en,red sneechcs being reserved for the APPrN-
NIX All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings are given in the form OF the Journals win
the yeas and nays on every important question:
The APPENDIX IL made up OF the Presidents An
nusl Message the Reports OF the principal Officers
of the Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. IL is printed In the same form
az the CoSGREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
ebout the sa me number Of pa ges during session.
