PR OS PECTUS
THE GLOBE-THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
PAPER.

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 it 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 GLosE
an 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 hdel-
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 fulness, fair
ness, and usefulness, | am compelled TO omit,
for want of room, page OF notices which are IN
type
The great celebrity with which the letter-wrlters
for the distant press circulate through the tele-
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-
OCCASIONAL GLoBE. The hasty, and IN many
instances pqrte, relations by telegraph o. what
occurs in Congress supersede, for the most part
the eyact reports taken down by 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 mperfectons
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 Tor advertisements
and the miscellaneous matter essential to their ex
istence. While, therefore, the telegraph adminis-
ters to the eager appetite ofthe public for Congress-
news. and meets the necessities Of the political
| press, by furnishing a rapidly-written eptome
suited TO the taste of its patrons, perfect informa-
ton of what passes in Congress Is greatly oimin-
ished. The circulation Of the Official reports mas
