PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE,''
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER
TVyHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
! Il renewal Of my 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 Inc to perretuate
the full history Of the proceedings and discussions
Of the body on which the destiny Of the Republic
| depends.
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 hdeHty with
which the duty thus confded has been performed.
| The great celebrity with which the letter-writcrs
for the distant 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 CosGREssoNAL
CLONE. The hasty, and in many instances er payts,
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
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with all
their inperfections and variety OF coorings, take
the of the country, and press but the ofholal
| 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 nee essi
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome 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 on BY the
| crude and diversified accounts which, flying along
the electric wircs satisfies curiosity, and it 10 al
most in vain that t. nth puts on bis boots to follow
| Still there a great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to zee whit Is actually said and
done in Congress, and tojudge for themselves,
rather than to receive Impressions altogether from
| gavanic batteries There are others, too who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronizea work
| which preserves full record OF the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations ron-
mensuratc 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 i'll less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making 1 volumes OF near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $50 royal
quarto psges, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging s74 royal quarto pages each.
| will publish in the APPENDIx for the next scs-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
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 ii has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session superfne 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 see their remarks in it, and alter them if they
shall think proper before they published in the
! CoSoR EssIoNAL q LoBE and APPENpIx
| The CoSSR EssIoNAL GLOBE is made up of the
daily proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
-and printed on a double royal paper, with email
type, (brevier and nonparcl in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quaro pages.
| The speeches Of the Members. in this frat form,
sometimes condcnsed-the full report Of the
| prepared speeches being reserved Cor the ArrEr-
| DIX All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given In the form oil the Journals, with
| the yeas and nays every important question.
! The APPESpix is made up OF the President's An
nua 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. II is printed in the sa,nc form
| rs the Conc RsssosAL e LOBE, and usually makes
| about the same number Of pages during scseion.
| During the fret month or SIX weeks OF session
there il rarely more business done than will make
| two numbers week-one Of c CoNoRrs5iosAL
GLoBE and one of the ArrEsDix; but during the re-
mainder of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two three numbers Of each every
week. The 1t session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSss EssIosAL
G. LoBs and ArPEspIx together will make at lenst
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
