PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CnNaREssIoNAL NEWSPAPER.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
rJNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
Il renewal ofmy 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 HE TO perpeluate
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 G LOBE
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 confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writer's
or the distant press rcuatc through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates vi
congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports oitbe CONGRESSIONAL
GLobE. The hasty and in many instances pdrte,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs i'll Congress
supcrsede, Tor the most part the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their mperfectons and variety Of colorings, take
inc run OF the country and no press but the official
oil Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutilated. In
deed, no newspaper can give them, and have room
Tor advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
essential to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public Tor Congress news, and meets the neccssi
ties OF the political press by furnishing rapidly
written cpiome suited to the taste OF its patrons
perfect information Of what passes in Congress is
greatly diminished. The circulation o the official
reports has been, to some extent cut OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and II is al
most in vain that truth puts his boots to follow
STILL there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to ace what Is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There others, too, who, for

which preserves full record of the doiDgs OF the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re
public.
The undersigned has made preparations CONS
mensurate with the increased importance Of the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter ana
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 nonparcl type,
| making 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-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
| will publish in the Appendix for the next ses-
! sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
| sion, which has not been done heretofore Although
this will 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 GLOBE will be published during the
| session 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 Tor
publishing the daily paper is to enable Members
to their remarks in il, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they published in the
CONGRESSIONAL g LOBE and APPENDIX.
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type, (brevcr and nonparel, } 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 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 poi 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. Il is printed in the same form
as the CONGRESSIONAL q LOBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of agcs during a session.
During the first month or Six weeks Of a session
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers wcek--onc Of CoSGREssIosAL
GLOBE and one OF the APPENDIX; but during the re-
mainder of session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the Cos0REssIoNAL
GLOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER and nouparcil. Complete Indexes 10 both
will be furnished at the end OF session.
