PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"


PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE,'
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
l. renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it is
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
of the body which the destiny Of the Republic
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLOBE
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
Tor the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates oil
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports ofthe CONGRESSIONAL
GLonE. The hasty, and in many instances eI parte,
relations by tec graph of what occurs in Congress
supersede, for the most part the exact reports ta
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, in a
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
OF the press. Now the telegraph accounts, with All
their imp,;rfections and variety OF coorings, take
the run of the country, and no press but the ohciai
OF Congress ever publishes the fuii debate with
the proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
decd, 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 for Congress news, and meets the nccessi-
ties of the political press, by furnlShing rapidly
written eptome 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 OIL by the
crude and diversified accounts which, lying along
the electric wires satisfies curiosity, and 1t Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow.
Still there are great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what Is actually said and
done in Congress, and TO judge for themselves,
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanc batteries. There others, too, who, for
the sake of the future, willingly patronlze work
which preserves full record OF the dolngs OF the
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 as 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 5000
making 4 volumes OF near 900 pages each. The
reports for the last long session made $500 royal
quarto pages, and were bound IN 1 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 prlce VIII be The
same that it has been for several years past
The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
session on superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
contaiyi the debates as taken down by the report
ers, and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
ma Ke any altcratons the current news OF the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper Is TO enable Members
to sec their remarks in it, and alter them II they
shall think proper before they are published IN the
CONGRESSIONAL q GLoBr and APPENDIX.
The Cos6R EssioSAL GLOBE Is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper, with small
type (brcver and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPES-
DIX. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays every important question.
Tho APPENDIX is made up OF the Presidents An
nud Message, the Reports OF the principal Ohlcers
of the Government that accompany II, and all
speeches Of Members of Congress, wfitten out or
revised themselves. IL lie printed in the same form
as the CoSoREssIoSAL GLOBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks OF sessloi-
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers wcek-onc of { c CosGREsslosAL
GLoBE and one Of the ArPEsDlx; but during the re-
Inandcr OF a session there is usually ,suilcient
matter for two three numbers OF each every
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSoREssIoNAL
GLoBg and APPENDIX together viii make at least
$500 large quarto pages, printed IN small type
BREWER and nonparoil. Complete Indexes To both
will bo furnished at the end OF a session.
| will cndoavor 10 print sufficient number
of surplus copies 10 supply all that may be mscar-
riod, or Lost in the mails; but subscrbers should

II Subscribers shall not be satisfied with the
work. the money paid by them for II will be re.
funded TO them whenever they return the numbers
which may have been received by them. Will

the previous volumes Of the CoNCREssioNhL GLonE

will thank any person who will let me have them.
