PROSPECTUS FOR "THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
yINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
Il renewal ot my proposals and preparations to
spread its debates before the public. The
wfsHh has hitherto attended this undertaking il is
hoped will continne and enable me to perpetuate
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
al 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 the body This sanction has been
voted at every successive session for many years,
aud by Incinbers o.! all parties. The press, too, OF
all Parties, has borne testimony TO the fidelity with
@Dch'thc duty thus confded has been performed.
The great celebrity with which the letter writers
ior the distant press through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views OF the debates OF
Spngress, renders more important than ever the
Toll and exact official reports Of the CONGRESSIONAL
y LOBE. The hasty and in many instances eT pdTfe,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supersedo, for the part. the exact reports ta-
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 impericctiops and variety OF colorings take
The run Of the country, and no press but the Official
oi Congress ever publishes the full debate with
tpc proceedings of both Houses unmutilated. In
ueed, no Newspaper can give them, and have room
for advertisements and the miscellaneous matter
csaentiai to their existence. While, therefore, the
telegraph administers to the eager appetite OF the
public or Congress. news, and meets the neccssl-
fcs Of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitone suited To the taste OF ts patrons,
perfect information oi what passes in Congress Is
greatly diminished. The circulation oil 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 II Is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots TO follow
Stii there are great many men oil leisure and
thought who like TO sec what Is actually said ana
done in Congress, and 10 Judge Tor themselves,
rather than TO receive impressions altogether from
gayanic batteries. There are others, too, who Tor
the sake OF the future, willingly patroniIea work
which preserves a full record OF the dongs OF the
great moving and controlling power oil the ke-
public.
The undersigned has made preparations com
nensurate with the increased importance oi 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 5,oou
royal quarto pages OF brewer and nonpareh type,
makiAg 4 volumes OF near 800 pages each. The
reporA for the last long session made $3.50 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in I volumes, ave-
raging 97I royal quarto pages each.

this will increase in small degree the expense of

The DAILY GLOBE will be published during the
