PROsPECTUs FOR .sTHE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME 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 1t is
4 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. Ths sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
aud by members Of all parties. The press, too. or
all parties, has borne testimony TO the fidelity with
which tho duty thus cOnfidcd has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter. writers
for the distant prcss circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views Of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exactoiIcia reports Of the CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances er parfe,
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress

of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilatcd. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room

The undersigned has made preparations com

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

sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-

this will increase in small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price will be the

The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session superfne double royal sheet. II Will
contain the debates as taken down by the report

publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members

CoNoREssIoNAL G LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIosAL GLoHE 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

The APPENDIX is made up OF the Prcsidcnts An
