PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
rHNHE APPROACH OF CONG RESS calls for the
a 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.
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 conhded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter W riters
for the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE The hasty, and in many instances er parte,
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 a
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
heirimperfcctions and variety Of colorings, take
the run of the country and no press but the official
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed no newspaper give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential TO their existence. While therefore, the
telegra PHI administers to the eager appetite Of the
public for Congress news, and meets the nectssi
ties of the political press by furnishing rapidly
written epitone 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 of by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and it is t.
most in vain that truth puts on his boots TO follow.
Still there arc great many men of leisure and
thought who Ike to see what is sactuay said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake Of the future, willingly patronize work
Wbch preserves full record of the doipgs 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 3 800
royal quarto ages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes OF near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made 3 500 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
raging 9l4 royal quarto pages each.
will publish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the
sion, which hasuot been done heretofore. Although
this viii increase in small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past
The DAILY LOBE will be published during the
session superhne double royal sheet Ii will
contain the debates taken down by the report |
ers, and altered by the speakers whenever they
make any alterations; 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 published in the
CoSeREssIoSAL GLOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoseR KssIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevier and nonparel,) in quarto FORM each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
Va nf he Mo-, hare Ex.t
arc sometimes conference.-the full report Of the |
prepared speeches being reserved for the Arrrs- |
All resolutions, motions, and other proceed |
ings, given in the form OF the Journals with |
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX ia 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 or |
revised themselves. Ii is printed in the form
as the Coses EssIosAL GLOBE, and usually makes |
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the fret month or SIX weeks OF a sessoI.
there lie rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of t e CosoRKssroSAL
g LOBE and one Of the ArPENplx but during the re-
mainder of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers of each every
week. The next session will be unusually intercst-
in g therefore I calculate that the CoSoREssIoNAI
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
8 500 large quarto pages, printed in email type
BREWER and nonparcil. Complete Indexes TO both |
will be furnished nt the end of n session.
