The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-06-09
PROSPECTUS FOR ..ruE GLOBE"

I THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
iFENHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
/ Il renewal Of my proposals and preparations TO
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking il is
hoped will continue and enable me to perpetuatc
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on 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 members OF all parties. The press, too OF
all parties has borne testimony to the fidelity with
which the duty thus contded has been performed.
The great ceerity with which the letter writer's
for the distant presscircuate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
toll and exact official reports OF the CONGRESSIONAL
y LOBE. The hasty, and III many instanceseL parte,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact repor ta-
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and variety of coiorings, take
the run 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 theiroxistencc. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers 10 the eager appetite of the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties OF the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epi,ome 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, 10 some extent, cut off by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satstes curiosity, and IL Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries There Others too, W no, for
the sake OF the future, willingly patronizea 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
mensurate 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 $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making 4 volumes Of near 800 pages each The
reports for the last long session made 1886 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in 4 Volumes ave-
raging ga royal quarto pages ench
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses
sion all laws that may be passed during the Sea-
sion, which hpsnot been done heretofore. Although
this viii increuse in small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that il has been for several years past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session superfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any erations; the current news of the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
: The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE ia made up of the
/ daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress-
! and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type (brevier and nonparei, in qusrto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
/ The speeches Of the Members, in this first FORM
are sometimes condensed-the full report Of the
! prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEN-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, given in the form of the Journals, with
theyea 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 il, and all
Speeches Of Members of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II is printed in the same form
az the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during q session.
During the first month or six weeks OF q session
there is rarely more business done than will make
! two numbers week-one OF tie CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
malndcr OF a session there Is usually sufficient
! matter for two three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
i ing; therefore calculate that the CONGRESSIONAL
! GLOBE and APPEsDIN together VIII make at least
! $500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
| BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.
