PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vJNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls Tor the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations To
sprcad it's debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking itis
hoped will continue, and enable me TO perpetuate
the full history fthc proceedings and discussions
of the body ON which the destiny Oh 'he hopuono
depends
nm 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 hdety with
which the duty thus confded has been performed
The great celebrity 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 eI Pare'
relations by telegraph of what occurs In Congress
supersede for the most part the exact reports Ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, III a
shane more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their imperfections and variety OF colorlng5 laKe

of Congress ever publishes the iuli uepate WIN
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated In
deed, no newspaper can give them, ana nave room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their xstcnce. While, therefore, thc
telegraph administers to the eager appetite oil the
public for Congress news, and meets the neccssi'
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF us patrons
perfect information of what passes In congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the onlclal
renorts has been to some extent, cut of by the
crude and diversified accounts when, hying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity and II Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his ooos 10 'olow
Still there great many men OF leisure ana
thought who like to see what Is actually SAID ana
done in Congress, and TO Judge for themselves
rather than to receive impressions altogether from

the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
which preserves a full record the dolngs OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the he-
public.
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 nlne months, and the
reports will not be comprised in less than 3,ooo
royal quarto pages of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes OF near 900 pages each. lhe
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
ouarto pages and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX ior the next SeS-
sion all laws that may be passed during tne SEES
sion which has not been done heretofore Although
this will increase 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 superfne double royal sheet. II Will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day'
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to see their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are puohshco IN 'he
CoNG r EssIoSAL q LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGR EssIoNAL GLOBE ID made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on a double royal paper, with small
type (brevier and nonpareil,) in quaro Tor IN, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speecbes of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report oil the
prepared speeches being reserved ior the APPEN-
DIX All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
iugs are given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and pays on every important question.
The APPENpIx ia made up OF the Presldents An
nual Message, the Reports OF the princlpal Oicers
of the Government that accompany IL, ana all
Speeches of Members of Congress, written out or
revised Themselves Ii is printed in the same form
as the CoNoREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks oil eessloL
there is rarely more business done than VIII make
two numbers a week-one OF { C CoNGREsstosAL
GLoBK and one of the APPENDIX; but during there-
malnder Of a session there is usually suihclent
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week The next session will he unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNGREssioNAL
GLOBE and Appendix together VIII make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER and nonparcil. Complete Indexes To Doih
