PROSPECTUS FOR .THE GLoBE,''
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vVNHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls Tor II


l. renewal of my proposals and preparations 70
spread its debates before the public. The success
which las hitherto attended this undertaking IT ls
hoped will continue, and enable me W perPe'ua'e
the full history OF the proceedings and discussions
OF the body on which the destiny of the RcpuDhc
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the CLONE
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 preas too, OF
all parties has borne testimony to the hdelty win
which tho duty thus coniided has been performed.
The great cecrty with which the letter writer's
for the distant press crc ulate through the
their hurried accounts and views OF the DEBATES Oh
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports of the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances eI p0FF'
relations by telegraph OF what occurs III congress
supersede, for the most part, the exact rePors va
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, IN
shape moro or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts with an
their imperfectons and variety OF colorhgo, take
the run of the country, and no press but the ociai
of Congress ever publishes the full debate Win
the proceedings of both Houses unInutliated. In
deed no newspaper give theln ana nave room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous inatter
essential to their xstcnce. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetle OIL tne
public for Congress news, and meets the hecessl-
ties of tho political press, by furnishing rapidly
written eptome suited to the taste of ts patrons,
perfect information of what passes In congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation oi the onciai
reports has been, to some extent, CUT OH py lhe
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires, satisfies curiosity, ana IL 10 sai
most in vain that truth puts on his boots 10 'oow;
Still there great many men oi ieiSu'e "hu
thought who like to see what Is actuaiiy sald ana
done in Congress-, and to judge Tor themselves,
rather than TO receive impressions altogether from
galyanc batteries. There are others, too VINO, Tor
the sake of the future, willingly patronlze work
which preserves full record OF the dolngs o' 1he
great moving and controlling power OF the Re-
public. ..: .
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased importance OF the
duty he has undertaken the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
of both Houses of Congress. Inc coming session
will probably be extended nine months and tne
reports will not be comprised In less than 5,ooo
royal ouarto pages of BREWER and nonpareii type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. Inc
reports for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN Voiuhes' ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
viii nublish in the APPENDIX for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
zion which hasnot been done heretofore Although
this will increase in no small degree the expense OF
the publication, the subscription price VIII DC 'he
same that it has been for several years past:
The DAILY GLOBE Will be published during the
session a superhne double royal shee,. IL VIII

ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever thcy
make any alterations; the current news OF tne day'
and miscellaneous matter The main OBJECT ior
publishing the daily paper ID TO enable Mempers
to see their remarks in it, and alter them If they
shall think proper before they are published In the
CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX;
The CoNGR EssIoSAL GLOBE ls made up Oh the
daily proceedings of the two Houses OF Congress,
and printed on q double royal paper, with small
type (brevier and nonpareil,) in quarto form each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches of the Members, IN tins hrst iorin'

During the first month or Six weeks OF sessioi.
there is rarely more business done than Will make

malnder of a session there Is usually sulclent
