PROSPECTUS FOR .rnE GLOBE"


THE CONGR EssIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it il
hoped will continue, and enable me 10 perpetuate
the full history the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends . ... u;v., -. CO..
an official character the reporter of all that il
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 confided has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views df the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CoHoREssIoNAL
GLoBs. Tho hasty, and in many instances er P0rte'
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 or lcss abbreviated. went the rounds
Of the press: Now the Telegraph accounts with all
their irnperfections and variety Of colorings, take
the 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 give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public for Congress news, and meets the necessi-
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitomc 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, hylng along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what is actually said and
done in Congress, and ojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There are Others too, who, FOR
the sake of the future willingly patronizea a work
which preserves full record Of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power OF the he-
public.
The undersigned has mode 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 bc comprised in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making 4 volumes Of near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN volumes, ave-
rnging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the AprssDla o iSr % the next ext ses
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price viii 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. 1t will
contain the debates as 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 II they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoNGR EssIoNAL GLoBE and APPENDIX.
The Cosap pEssIoNAL GLonE is made up Of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type (brevicr and nonpare, } in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches of the Members, in this first form,
sometimes conference.-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPEn-
DIX All rcsoiu<ions, motions, and other proceed
ings, given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question:
The APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents An
nual Message, the Reports of the principal Ofilcers
of the Government that accompany 1t, and all
Speeches of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. IL 10 printed in the same form
as the CoNoaRssIosAL GLoBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks oil sessiot.
there 10 rarely more business done than VIII make
two numbers a week-one OF t. e CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBK and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mnlndcr Of session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CosoaEsslosAL
GLo8E and APrKsDix together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonparc Complete Indexes To both
will be furnished at the end OF a session.

funded to them wheneyer they return the numbers

disposed of soon; and when they arc, they will
