The Omci&I Organ OF Con gross and News
paper for the People.
address my annual circular 10 the public, APP
prsing it that the Globe will renew its reports OF
the Congressional Debates al the next session OF
Congress. Il is hardly necessary TO say that the
proceedings Of the next Congress will be Of vast
import 10 the country. The issues which have
been made in relation TO slavery, connected with
the great interest which il always taken in Con-
gress i'll relation TO the nomination of presidential
candidates, will give intense excitement TO the
next session, which will be communicated 10 the
public Whatever is debated in Congress will be
debated everywhere. The importance of official
reports cannot therefore, be too highly estimated.
The country will pass upon the proceedings OF
Congress as they progress, and public opinion, il
properly informed, will have a salutary influence
upon the result.
The DAILY GLOBE will be printed on double
royal sheet al eleven o'clock every morning, ex-
cept Sunday, and will contain all the messages OF
the President of the United States the reports OF
the Executive Departments; the entire proceed
ings of Congress; the laws passed during the
session; and the news by telegraph and from
other sources up TO the hour of going 10 press.
The debates in Congress frequently fill thirty,
forty, fifty, and sometimes more than hundred
columns day Whenever they make more than
twenty-eight columns day, extra sheets are
printed.
TUESDAYS CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will be pub
lished every Tuesday morning, and contain the
current news of the day, and such editorial COM
ment upon the times as may be deemed suitable
to the character of the paper. When the debates
Of week cannot be condensed into twenty
columns, and leave eight columns OF the sheet
or other matter and advertisements, an extra
sheet will be printed.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will be the revised
edition of the proceedings contained in the Daily
Globe, and the laws passed during the session,
printed in book form on royal quarto page. and
will zLoL r.
dred pages each. The last volume Of the four
will be an APPENDIx which will contain such
speeches as>are written out by the members them
selves, with such deferred proceedings neces-
sarily accompany them. Complete indexes will
be made out and forwarded TO subscribers soon
after the end of the session. If subscriber shall
lose any numbers, they will be supplied at the
rate of three cents for sixteen pages.
II Is admitted by every competent Judge, whose
opinion have heard expressed on the subject,
that the debates of Congress are better reported:
and sold iower than those of any other legislative
body A calculation which made for the Senate
OF the United States in April, 1854, shows that
Congress pays me for reporting and publishing
its debates in the Daily Globe, and then in the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, only
elsDenth the rate charged in England for publish
ing the debates of Parliament, and about one
sepeath the average rate paid by the States OF
Pennsylvania Maryland, and Kentucky, (Which

bates in book form -oniy The debates of Con-
