OSPECTUS
THE cLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
| PAPER. yyff 4g
| The approach of Congress calls for the renewal
of my proposals and preparations to spread It's
debates before the public. The success which has
hitherto attended this undertaking il is hoped will
continue, and enable me to perpetuate the full
history of the proceedings and discussions of the
body on which the destiny Of the Republic de-
ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoRE
official character as 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 fide-
ity with which the duty thus confded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression in favor OF the
work, submitted in proof Of its fullness, fair
ness, and usefulness. am compelled to omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are In
typea
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
for the distant press circulate through the iele-
graph their hurried accounts and views Of the
debates OF Congress, renders more important than
ever the full and exact official reports OF the Con-
| GREssioNAL GLOBE. The hasty, and IN many
instances er parte, relations by telegraph ofwhat
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part,
| the exact reports taken down bv reporters, and
| winch formerly, IN a shape more or less abbre-
waited, went the rounds Of the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their imperfectons
and variety chickering's, take the run OF the coun-
try and no press but the official of Congress ever
! publishes the full debate with the proceedings of
| both Houses unmutilated. Indeed, no newspaper
| can give them, and have room fer advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex-
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph admins
tiers the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress
news, and meets the necessities of the political
press, by furnishing rapidly-written epitome
suited the taste Of its patrons perfect informa-
ton Of what passes in Congress Is greatly dimln-
ished. The circulation ofthe Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude and
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wres satisfies curiosity, and il is almost IN vain
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men ofleisure and thought who
like TO see WI at is actually said and done in Con-
gress and TO Judge for themselves, rather than to
receive Impressions altogether from gavanic bat =
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
Of the future, willingly patronlze work which
preserves full record Of the doings Of the great
moving and controlling power OF the Republic.
Il The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurute with the increased importance OF th.
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher OF the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming ses
sion will probably be extended nine months, ane
the reports will not be comprised IN less than 35O*

will publish in the APPKsDrx for the next ses-
sion all laws that may be passed during the SEES
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Al
though this will increase in no small degree the
expense OF the publication, the subscription price
will be the same that il has been for several years
past.
The DAnr GLoBE will be published during the
| session on a superhne double royal sheet. IL will
l contain the debates taken down by the report
ers, and sltered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the
I day and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, 10 enable Mem
bers 20 see their remarks in It, and alter them ifthey
shall think proper before they published in the
CoseRrssoxAL GLoBE and AprrsDix.
