PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE

PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE,
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
vINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. Inc success
which has hitherto attended TINS undertaking tis
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
depends.

said and done in the body. This sanction has been
voted at every successive session lor 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 ceierity with which the letter, writer's
for the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates of
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports oil the
GLOBE. The hasty, and in many instances er pare,
relations by telegraph OF what occurs IN Congress
supersede for the most part, the exact reports ia
ken down by reporters, and which formerly, In a
shape more or less abbreviated, went the rounds
of the press Now the telegraph accounts, with al
their imperfectons and variety OF coiorings, take
the run of the country, and press but the ociai
Of Congress ever publshes the iuii uSoate WIN
the proceedings of both Houses unmutiated. ln-
deed, no newspaper can give them, ana nave 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, ana meets the hecessl-
written cpitome suited to the taste OF its patrons,
perfect information Of what passes In Congress ls
greatly diminished. The circulation OF the ofncial
reports has been, to some extent, cut on oy inc
crude and diversified accounts which, nying along
