PROSPECTUS FOR 1.-THE GLOBE"

THE CONGRESSIONAL NEWSPAPER.
TIME APPROACH OF CONGRESS calls for the
i renewal of my proposals and preparations TO
spread it's debates before the public. The success
which has hitherto attended this undertaking 1t Ia
hoped will continue, and enable me to perpetuate
the full history OF the proceedings and discussions
ot the body on which the destiny oI the Ncpubhc
depends.
The adoption of Congress has given the GLoBE
al 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 cOnfded has been performed.
The great CELEBRITY with which the letter writer's
for the distant press uate 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 CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE The hasty and in many instances er pdrfe,
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
shape more less abbreviated, went the rounds
Of the press. Now the telegraph accounts with all
their inpcrfections and variety OF coorlngs, take
tho run of the country and press but the official
of Congress ever publishes the full debate with
the proceedings Of both Houses unmuilated. In
deed, no newspaper 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 nccessi, !,
ties of the political press, by furnishing rapidly
written epitome 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
che electric wires, satisfies curiosity, and it is al
most in vain that truth puts on his boots to follow
Still there area great many men OF M leisure 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 patronlze work M

The undersigned has made preparations com
mensurate with the increased Importance OF the

publisher of the complete debates and proceedings
OF both Houses Of Congress. The coming session
will probably be extended nine months ana tne
reports will not be comprised in less than $500
royal quar- to pages Of BREWER and nonparen type,
making volumes of near 900 pages each The

uuarto pages, and were bound III volumes, ave-
raging 974 royal quarto pages each
will publish in the APPENDIX Tor 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 no small degree the expense OF
the publication the subscription price VIII be the
same that it has been for several years past

The Cong a EssIoNAL GLOBE ID made up OF the
daily proceedings OF the two Houses OF Congress-
and printed on a double royal paper, with small

As the CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE, and usually makes
about the same number OF pages during session
During the first month or six weeks of a sessioi
there ia rarely more business done than Will make
two numbers a week-one OF c CoSGRkssioSAL
g losE and one Of the APPENDIX; but during the re-
maindcr of a session there is usually sufficient
matter for two or three numbers oil each every
week. The next session will be unusually interest
ing; therefore calculate that the CoSoRKssIosAL
G LOBE and APPENDIX together will make at least
3 500 large quarto pages, printed in small type
BREWER and nonpareil. Complete Indexes To both
