The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1853-12-29
JOURNAL

~
proceedings of the Executive Departments and
the information collected by them even during
the recess of Congress is of SO much lmpor-
tance to the interests of every section OF the
country--that shall continue the publication
of daily paper permanently, with view to
become the vehicle of the earliest and most cor
rect intelligence.
1t is part of my plan to reduce the price of
the daily paper to half that of similar daily pa
pers; and thus hope to extend its circulation
SO as to invite advertisements. l will publish
advertisements of the Government. To sub
scribers 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
new Congress portends much change in the
course of public affairs the result of the next
session. Many vast interests which were bro't
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 a
| freeholder who may choose to become one; the
approximation of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
by national railroad across the territory of the
Union; reform in the Army, Navy, and civil of
fces-all these great questions. with thousand
minor ones, deeply affecting multitudes of men
and every State in the Union, will, now being
matured by public opinion, come up for the
Governments decision. These new issues, CO.
operating with old ones, coming up to be dis
posed of by new actors on the scenes at Wash
ington, will be apt to modify greatly, if not al
ter essentially, the party organizations OF the
country.
/ To these elements of interest another is likely
| O. 10 hxyf ntor of fho
tations of Europe After nearly forty years OF
peace in Europe there is an evident restlessness
that now seem fraught with tendencies threat
ening war, and if war comes, in all likelihood
there will be such universal change that the
U. States can scarcely hope to escape its vor-
tex. Indeed, from late events it is apparent
that our Government is already drawn into Eu-
ropean difficulties. These circumstances are
calculated to draw the public mind towards the
next Congress with much expectation.
The Daily Globe will be printed on fine pa
double royal size, with small type, (brevier and
nonperiel,) five dollars year.
The Congressional Globe will also be prin-
| ted on double royal sheet, in book form, royal
quarto size, each number containing sixteen
pages. The Congressional Globe proper will
be made up of the proceedings of Congress and
the running debates as given by the Reporters
i The speeches which members may choose tc
write out themselves, will, together with the
messages of the President of the United States
the reports of the Executive Departments, and
the laws passed by Congress, by adding in an
Appendix. Formerly / received subscriptions
for the Congressional Globe and Appendix sep
arately. But this has not been found satisfac
tory, in as much as it gave an incomplete view
of the transactions in Congress; and therefore
/ have concluded not to sell them apart, consid
ering that neighbors can have the advantage o.
both by clubbing in case individuals shall

To facilitate the circulation of the Congress
sional Globe aad cheaper itto subscribers, Con
gress passed last year joint resolution making
it free of postage. l annex it, as the law may
not be accessible to postmasters generally:
Joint Resolution providing for the distribu
tion the Laws of Congress and the debate:
thereon. .-...-l-r
With view to the cheap circulation of tn,
laws of Congress and the debates contributing
to the true Interpretation thereof, and to max,
free the communication between the represen
tative and constituent bodies: s.,
Be it resolved by the Senate and House O
Representatives of the United States of Amer
lea in Congress assembled, That from and afte
the present session of Congress, the Congress
tienaI Globe and Appendix which contain tn,
laws and the debates thereon shall pass fre
through the mails so long as the same shall b,
published by order of Congress.
Provided, That nothing herein shall be con
structed to authorize the circulation of tn
Daily Globe free of postage.
| Approved, August 6, 1852.
AS ! sell the Daily Globe at half the price O
similar publications, SO the Congressional Glob
and Appendix is sold for half the cost of 81
This I can afford to do inasmuch as the sub
scription of Congress almost cover the cost O
composition, and this enables me to sell for lit
tie more than the cost of press work and paper
1t requires the sale of about 5000 copies to re
imburse expenses. If 500 only Were sold, tn
cost of each copy would be about $l04! TIL
debates in the English Parliament cost abou
eleven times as much as charge subscribers fo
the debates in Congress, equal in quantity, ant
as well reported and printed.
The next session of Congreas will be lon.
one and it is believed the Congressional Glob
for it will reach 900 royal octa. quar-. pages
the last long session made 8 ,842; and the lon
one before that made 8 ,90l royal quarto pages
four large volumes each session. If subscriber
will be careful to file the numbers received b,
them.I will supply any that may miscarry in tn
mails. This work increases in value as it grow
old. The first seventeen volumes will nov
command three times, and some of the subse
quent ones, their original subscription price.
: The subscription price for the Congressiona
! Globe (including the Appendix and the laws)
six dollars.
:, Complete indexes will be made out and fol
warded to subscribers soon after the session
, ended.
Subscribers for the Daily should have thei
money here by the 4th, and for the Congress
sional Globe by the 18th of December. Th
money must accompany an order for either th
, Daily or the Congressional Globe.
Bank notes current where subscriber reside
will be received at par.
