PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"
THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
YINIE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for I


vINHE APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
renewal ofmy proposals and preparations % to
which has hitherto attended this undertaking it ia
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuae
the full history of the proceedings and discussions
of the body on which the destiny of the Republic
depends
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 fidelity with
which the duty thus conided has been performed.
The great ceierity with which the letter writer's
for the distant press circulate through the telegraph
their hurried accounts and views of the debates OF
Congress, renders more important than ever the
full and exact official reports Of the CoNGREsstoNAL
GLoBE. The hasty, and in many instances er Parf,
relations by telegraph of what occurs in Congress
supcrsede 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 all
their imperfections and variety OF colorings, take
the Of the country, and no press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings OF both Houses unmuilated 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 necessi
ties Of the political PRESS by furnishing rapidly
written epitome suited to the taste OF ts patrons
perfect information of what passes in Congress is

reports has been, to some extent, cut off by the
crude and diversified accounts which, flying 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 sec what Is actually said and
done in Congress, and to judge for themselves
rather than to receive impressions altogether from
galvanic batteries. There others, too, who for
the sake of the future, willingly paronizea 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
mensurate 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
report Is 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 the last long session made 1856 royal
quarto pages, and were bound in 4 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 ses-
sion, which has not been done heretofore. Although
this will increase in small degree the expense of
the publication, the subscription price Will be the
same that it has been for several years past.
The DAILY GLOBE Will be published during the
session a superfne double royal sheet. Ii will
contain the debates taken down by the report
ers and as altered by the speakers, whenever they
make any alterations the current news of the day,
and miscellaneous matter The main object for
publishing the daily paper Is TO enable Members
shall think proper before they published in the
CosGnEssIosAL G LOBE and APPsspIx.
The CoNeREssIoSAL GLOBE is made up OF the
daily proceedings of the two Houses Of Congress,
and printed 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

Ali resolutions, motions, and other proceed
inga are given in the form OF the Journals, with

The APPENDIX is made up of the Presidents An
nual Message the Reports oi the principal Ohlcers

as the CoasR sssfoNkL GLOBE, and usually makes |
about the 81 me number of pages during session.
During the Grst month or SIX weeks oil session |
there is rarely more business done than will make
two numbers a week-one Of { CosoREssrosAL |
GLopx and ono Of the ArrESprx; but during there
maindor of n session there is usually sufficient |
matter for two or three numbers OF each every |
week The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoNoREssfoNAL |
GLoss and ArPEsDix together viii make at least
3 800 large qusrto pages, printed in small type
