ments of the Government. To subscribers in the
cities hope to submit such terms as will induce
them TO advertise their business in every village
throughout the Union, where the Globe is sent
daily under the franks of members Of Congress,
all of whom take it, and some of them large
number of copies.
The installation of new Administration and a
new Congress portends much change in the course

Army, Navy, and civil offices--sll these great
questions, with thousand minor ones. deeply az
feeling multitudes of men and every State in the |
Union, will, now being matured by public opin-

These new issues, cooperating with old ones,
coming up to be disposed of by new actors on the
scenes at Washington, will be apt to modify great

To these elements of interest another is likely

and nonpareil,) at five dollars year.
| The Cong REssIoNAL GLOBE will also be print
ed on a double royal sheet, in book form, royal

The Con C REssroNAL GLOBE proper will be made

speeches which members may choose to writeput
themselves will, together with the messagessofthe
President of the United States. the reports Of the
| Executive Departments, and the laws passed by
Congress, be added in an Appendix. Formerly l
received subscriptions for the Congressional Globe
and Appendix separately. But this has not been
found satisfactory, iriasmuch as 1t gave an incom-

To facilitate the circulation of the Congression-
