Meigs County telegraph. [volume] (Pomeroy [Ohio]) 1848-1859, 1853-10-27

Express Mail of o'clock p. m. for the East,
West and North, and by that Of o'clock p. m.
for the South, all the proceedings Of Congress
up to the ordinary hour Of adjournment. Thus
the accurate debates of Congress will reach the
cities two hundred and fifty miles from the Cap
itol before their daily morning papers are in Cir
culation.
The miscellaneous news shall be careful to-
gather from remote sections of the nountry by
telegraph. will obtain fromthe Executive De-
partments, through official sources the matters
Of moment transacted in them, and, through
agents employed for the purpose all the city
news of consequence in sufficient time to be put
into the Globe and mailed in the Express Mail
trains In this way hope to create new era
in the dissemination of news from Washington.
Hitherto no newspaper has attempted to give au-
thentic accounts Of things done at Washington
before the public mind at distance had received
its first impressions from irresponsible Telegraph
ic dispatches, or by letter-writers biased by Pc
culiar views.
Washington has now become so great center
Of political interest during all the year-the pro-
ceedings of the Executive Departments and the
information collected by them even during the
recess of Congress is of so much importance to
the interests of every section of the country
that shall continue the publication of the daily
paper permanently, with a.view to become the
vehicle of the earliest and most correct ntelli-

1t is part of my plan 10 reduce the price of the
daily paper 10 half that of similar daily papers |;
and thus hope to extend its circulation so as to
invite advertisements. will publish advertise
ments of the Government. To subscribers in
the cities hope to submit such terms as will in
duce them 10 advertise their business in every
village throughout the Union, where the Globe
is sent daily under the franks ofmembers Of Con-
gress, all Of whom take it, and some of them
large number of copies.
The installation OF a new Administration and
new Congress portends much change in the
course of public affairs as the result of the next
session. Many vast interests which were brot
up in the last Congress were laid over by the
Democratic majority to await the action of a
Democratic Executive. The new modelling of
the tariff; the new land system; the question OF
giving homesteads, and making every man free
holder who may choose to become one; the ap.
Proclamation of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
by national railroad across the territory of the
Union; reform in the Army, Navy, and civil Of
| fices-all these great questions, with a thousand
minor ones, deeply affecting multitudeS of men
and every State in the Union, will, now being
matured 10y public opinion, come up for the Gov
ernment'S decision. These new issues, coope.
rating with old ones, coming up to be disposed o
by new actors on the sceAes at Washington, will

the party organization of the country.
i To these elements of interest another is likel,
to be introduced by the interpostion of the ag
tations of Europe. After nearly forty years o
peace in Europe there is an evident reStleSsnes,
that now seems fraught with tendencies threat
ming war; and il war comes, in all likelihood
there will follow such universal change that thu
United States can scarcely hope 10 escape its vor
tex. Indeed, from late events it is apparent tha
our Government is already drawn into FuropeaI
difficulties. These circumstances are calculated
to draw the public mind towards the next Con
gress with much expectation.
The DAILY GLOBE will be printed on fine pa
per, double royal Jize, with small type, (brevie
and nonpareil,> at five dollars year.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will also be prntet
on double royal sheet, in book form, roya
quarto size, each number containing sixteen pa
ges. The Congressional Globe proper will b.
made up of the proceedings OF Congress and tn
running deba ties as given by the Reporters. Tn
speeches which members may choose to write ou
, themselves will, together with the messages q
the President OF the United States, the reports O
the Executive Departments, and the laws paSSe
by Congress, be added in an Appendix. Former
ly received subscriptions for the Congressiona
Globe and Appendix separately. But this ha
not been found satisfactory, inasmuch as it CAV
an incomplete view of the transactions in Con
gress; and therefore have concluded not TO sci
them apart, considering that neighbors can hay
the advantage of both by clubbing in case indi
: viduals shah find it too onerous to be at tn
, charge of both.
To facilitate the circulation of the Congress
sional Globe and cheaper it to subscribers, Con
greSs passed last year joint resolution making
free of postage. | annex it, as the law may nc
be accessible to posmasters generally:
Joint Resolution providing for the dstributio
OF the Laws of Congress and the Debates
thereon.
with view to the cheap circulation of III
e laws OF Congress and the debates contributin
Z to the true Interpretation thereof, and to max
free the communication between the Represer
, tative and constituent bodies:
be 1t resolved by the Senate and House of Rer
reSentauves OF the United States of America
Il Congress assembled, That from and after the pre
sent session ofCengresS, the Congressional Glot
> and Appendix, which contain the laws and III
: debates thereon, shall pass free through the mai
= so long as the same shall be published by ord,
q OF Congress; Provided, That nothing herein sha
- be construed to authorize the circulation of Il
y y Daily Globe free of postage.
e Approved, August 6, 1852.
:, :, AS sell the Daily Globe at half the price
similar publications, so the Congressional Glot
and Appendix is sold for half the cost of so muC
composition, press-work, and paper This CO
afford to do, inasmuch as the subscription of Coz
!. gress almost covers the cost of composition, al
i this enables me to sell for little more than IL
it cost of press work and paper. 1t reqares Il
i, sale of about 5000 copies to reimburse expense
At II 900 only were sold, the cost of each col
would be about $l04! The debates in the Er'
lish Parliament cost about eleven times as mut
as charge subscribers for the debates in CO.
= greSs, equal in quantity, and as well reported al
printed.
The next session of Congress will be lo
j. one; and it is believed the Congressional Clio
e torl will reach 1000 royal quarto pages, as t
last long session made 3,842; and the long one b
a fore that made 1901 royal quarto pages-fo
t. large volumes each session. If subscribers W
ca be careful TO file all the numbers received
e, them, will supply any that may mscarry in [
n mails. This work increases in value as it grov
old. The first seventeen volumes will now COZ
he mand three times, and some Of the subseque
n ones twice, their original subscription price.
