PR OSPECTUS
OF
THE GL0BE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEW d
PAPER

of my proposals and preparations to spread aus
debates before the public. The success which mas
hitherto attended this undertaking 1t is hoped will
continue, and enable TO perpetuste the fuIl
history Of the proceedings and discussions of the
body ON which the destiny of the Republic ae-
Ponds.
The adoption of Congress has given the GIous
an official character the reporter OF all thar As
said and done IN the body. This sanction mas
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 haci-
ty with which the duty thus conhded has been
performed. The annexed notices, taken at ran
dom from the general expression IN favor OF the
work, are submitted in proof of its funess, tair-
ness, and usefulness. | am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, page of notices which are an

The great CELEBRITY with which the letter-writers
for the distant press circulate through the te,e-
| 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 parte, relations by telegraph Of what
occurs IN Congress supersede, for the most part,
| the act reports taken down bv reporters, ana
winch formerly, IN shape more or less abhre-
waited, went the rounds OF the press. Now the
telegraph accounts, with all their mperfections
and variety chickering's, take the run of the coun-
try and no press but the official of Congress
publishes the fuli debate with the proceedings OF
both Houses unmuulated Indeed, no newspaper
can give them, and have room for 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 eptone
suited TO the taste OF It's patrons, perfect iniorhu-
ton of what passes IN Congress is greatly din,,-
ished. The circulation of the Official reports has
been, to some extent, cut off by the crude ana
diversified accounts which, flying along the electric
wres satisfies curiosity, and IT is almost IN VAN
that truth puts on his boots to follow. Still there
are great many men OF Leisure and thought VINO
like to see what is actually said and done in Con-
gress, and to Judge for themselves, rather than 10
receive Impressions altogether from galvanc bat
teries. There are others, too, who, for the sake
of the future, willingly patronize work when
preserves full record of the doings of the great
moving and controlling power of the Republic
The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance of TN
duty he has undertaken as the only reporter and
publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
| OF both Houses of Congress. The coming sea
sion will probably be extended nine months, am
the reports will not be comprised In less than 35Ut

though this will increase in no small degree the
expense OF the publication, the subscription price

past.
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on a superhne double royal sheet IL viii
contain the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as s,ered by the speakers, whenever they
! make any alterations; the current news of the
dav. and miscellaneous matter. The main object
for publishing the daily paper is, to enable Mem
bers to see their remarks it, and alter them lfihey

/ CONGRESS sIoNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX. +.
/ The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE is made up OF the
dailv proceedings of the two Houses of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type. brewer and nonparell,) in quarto form,
each number containing sixteen royal quarto
pages. The speeches of the Members, in this hrst
form, are sometime condensed-the full report OF
the prepared speeches being reserved for the APP
pENp,x All resolutions, motions, and other pro-
Il ceedings, are given in the form of the Journals,
J with the yeas and nays on every important ques-
ton.
The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents
Annual Message, the Reports of the principal
Offcers of the Government that accompany It, and
all Speeches of Members of Congress, written
out or revised by themselves 1t is printed IN the
same form as the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE, and
usually makes about the same number or pages
during session.
During the first month or six weeks of ses-
sion there is rarely more business done than will
make two numbers u week---one OF the CONGRESS
sror, GIopE and one Of the APPENDIX, but dur
ing the remainder of session, there Is usually
sufficient matter for two or three numbers OF eacn
every week The next session will be unusually
interesting therefore, we calculate that the Con-
cREssioNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX together VIII
make at least $500 large quarto pages, printed IN
small type-brevier and nonpareil. We furnlsn
complete Indexes to both at the end OF a session.
, we will endeavor to print sufficient number OF
surplus copies to supply all that may be miscarried,
!" or lost in the mails but subscribers should be
very particular to file their papers carefully, for
fear that we should not be able to supply all the
lost numbers.
If subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work, the money paid by them for 1t Will be re-
funded to them whenever they return the numbers

CovGREssroNAL GLOBE and APPENDIX for sale at

disposed of soon and when they are, they will
