PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vINIIE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal my proposals and preparations 70
spread its debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking II ID
hoped will continue, and enable me TO perpetuatc
the full history OF the proceedings nnd discussions
of the body on which the destiny OF the Republic
depends.
The adoption of Congress- has given the GLOBE
an official character the reporter OF all that is
said and done in tho body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session Tor many years,
and by members of all parties. The press, too OF
all parties, has borne testimony 10 the fidelity with
Which the duty thus confdcd has been performed
The great cclcrity with which the letter, writer's
for the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OK
Congress, renders important than ever tho
fun and exact official reports Of the CoSGuBssoSAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances tI PdTF
relations by telegraph Of what occurs in Congress
supcrsedc, for the most part, the exact reports Ia
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 imperfections and variety OF coiorings, take
therun Of the country and no press but the Official
of Congress publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmutllatcd. In
deed, no newspaper can 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 heccssi
ties Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written cpitome 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 IT Is al
in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there great many men OF leisure and
thought who like to see what s actually said and
done III Congress, and to judge for themselves.
rather than TO receive impressions altogether from
gavanic batteries There arc Others too, who, for
the sake Of the future, willingly patronizca work
which preserves full record Of the doings Of the
great moving and controlling power of the Re-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
mcnsura,e 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 in less than $500
royal quarto pages Of BREWER and nonpareil type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each. The
reports for tho last long scssion made 3,S96 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
Twill publish in the APPENDIX for the next SEES
sion all laws that may be passed during the ses-
sion, which hasnot been done heretofore. Although
this will increase small degree the expense Of
the publication the subscription price will be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY G LOBE will be published during the
session a supcrfne double royal sheet. 1t will
contain the debates taken down by the report
crs, and altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations; the current news OF the day.
ana miscellaneous matter Inc InalD ODlcCt iOr
publishing the daily paper is TO enable Members
10 sec their remarks in IL, and alter them IL they
shall think proper before they are published in the
CoSGpEssIosAL GLoHs and APPxSDII.
The CoSoREssIoSAL GLOBE ID made up OF the
daily proceedings Of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed on double royal paper with small
type (brever and nonpareil,) in quarto form, each
number containing sixteen royal quarto pages.
The speeches Of the Members, in this first form,
are sometimes condensed-the full report OF the
prepared speeches being reserved for the APPks-
DGI. All resolutions, motions, and other proceed
ings, arc given in the form OF the Journals, with
the yeas and nays on every important question.
The APPENDIX is made up OF the President's An
nual Message the Reports Of the principal Officers
of tho Government that accompany II, and all
Speeches Of Members Of Congress, written out or
revised themselves. II Is printed in the same form
as the CosGREssIoSAL GLoBE, and usually makes
about the same number Of pages during session.
During the first month or SIX weeks Of a scssot.
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers wcck-onc OF C CosGRtsstoSAL
g. LoEK and one of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
maInder Of session there IL usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers OF each every
week The next session will be unusually intcreat-
ing; therefore / calculate that tho CoNURrssIoNAL
GLoBg and APPENDIX together will make hi least
$500 large quarto pagcs, printed IN small type
BREWER and noupareil. Complete Indexes TO both
will be furnished at the end Of a session.
