PROSPECTUS

THE GLOBE--THE CONGRESS
SIGNAL NEWSPAPER,

The approach Of Congress calls for
the renewal of my proposals and prepa-
rations to spread ITS debates hefore the
public. The success which has hi,Eer-

will continue, and enable me To perpetu-
ate the full history Of The proceedings
and discussions of that body on which
the destiny Of the Republic depends.
The adoption Of Congress has given
the GLOBE an official character ac the re-
porter OF all that is said and done in the
body. This sanction has been voted al
every successive session for many wears,
and by members of all parties. The
press, too, of all parties has borne tes,i-
mony 10 the fidelity with which the du-
~ thus confided has been performed.
The annexed notices, taken at random
from the general expression in favor of
Of The work, are submitted in proof of
its fullness, fairness, and usefulness. |

The two counties are nearly equal in

err different. Louisa county lies on the
Mississippi at the mouth Of The Iowa.
and is in.ersec!ed by the Iowa and Ce-
dar Rivers. Linn is county of high
and rolling land, with very little of il
subject to inundalion. We are inclined
to believe that the disparity in the num-
Der OF deaths in the two counties is oc-
stoned by want Of accuracy in taking
the census or some other unexplained
cause. The year 1850, was a year of
cholera: and the number Of deaths in
some localities may have been increased
from This cause, while others entirely
escaped the scourge.
Emigration, loo, which was large last
year and the year before, may in many
instances have had tendency to vary
the exact ratio, increasing it in some
portions and diminishing il in others.
We do not think that we can lay it
down as rule, that counties lying on
the Mississippi or other large water
courses have been the most unhealthy.
From The above returns we find that
Clayton, Scott and Des Moines |, ing
on the Mississippi. and Van Buren,, Ma
haska and Wapello lying on the Des
Moins-and Pouawatiamie lying on the
Missouri, are among the heal,hiesl in
the State. So, also, several counties ~
ing on no large stream. are among the
most unhealthy.
We think it will be found that the
State, taken as whole. has enjoyed a
favorable degree of health, and the
deaths have not been in greater proper
ton than in the older settled Sla,es.-
