The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1854-01-04

1t is part of my plan to reduce the price of the
daily paper to half that of similar daily papers;
and thus hope to extend it's circulation 90 as 70
invite advertisements. I will publish advertise
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
throughoutsthe Union, where the Globe is sent
daily under the franks of members Of Congress,
all of whom take it, and some of them laree
number of copies. %
The installation of a new Administration and a
new Congress portends much change in the course
of public affairs the result of the next session.
Many vast interests which were brought up In the
last Congress were laid over by the Democratic
majority to await the action of Democratic Ex-
ecutive. The new modelling of the tariff; the new
land system; the question of giving honesteadss
and making every man feehoIder 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 ofices--a these great
questions, with thousand minor ones. deeply af-
fecting multitudes of men and every State in the
Union, will, now being matured by public opin-
ion, come up for the Governments decision -
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
Iy if not alter essentially, the party organizations
OF the country. ..lats
To these elements of interest another is likely
to te introduced by the interposition OF the agta
Ii )ns of Europe. After nearly forty years OF peace
in Europe there is evident restlessness that
now seems fraught with tendencies threatening
war; and if war comes, in all likelihood there will
follow such universal change that the United
States can scarcely hope to escape its vortex. In
deed, from late events it is apparent that Gov
ernment is already drawn into European difficult
ties. 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.
per. double royal size, with small type, (brevier
and nonpareil,) at five dollars year.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will also be print
ed on double royal sheet, in book form, royal
quarto size, each number continuing sixteen pages.
The Con- G REssIoNAL GLOBE proper will be made
up of the eedings of Congress and the run
ming debates as given by the Reporters. The
speeches which members may choose to write out
themselves will, together with the messages the
President of the United States, the reports Of the
Executive Departments. and the laws passed by
Congress, be added in an Appendix. Formerly I
received subscriptions for the Congressional Globe
and Appendix separately. But this has not been
found satisfactory, iEasmuch as IT gave an incoui-
plete view of the transactions in Congress-; aud
therefore have concluded not to sell them apart,
considering that neighbors can have the advantage
of both by clubbing in case individuals shsll find
it too onerous to be at the charge of both.
| To facilitate the circulation of the Congression-
al Globe and cheaper it to subscribers, Congress
passed lastyear joint resolution making it free
of postage. annex it, as the law may not be ac-
cessibe to postmasters generally:
Joint Resolution providing for the distribution Of
the Laws of Congress and the debates thereon.
With view to the cheap circ ulation of the laws
of Congress and the debates contributing to the
true Interpretation thereof, and TO make free the
communication between the representative and
constituent bodies: s4t
Be it resolved by lhe Senate and House of Rep
reSentdtives of THE United Sfates Of .dmerica iss
Congress dssep1led. That from and after the pTes-
ent session of Congress, the Congressional Globe
and Appendix. which contains the laws and the
debates thereon, shall pass free through the mails
so long as the same shall be published by order of
, Congress: Provided, That nothing herein shall
be construed to authorize the circulation of the
Daily Globe free Of postage. ~

AS / sell the DAILY GLOBE at half the price
of similar publications, SO the Con- REssioN Al
GLOBE and APPENDIX is sold for half the cost of
so much composition. press.work, and paper.--
This can afford to do, inasmuch the bscrip.
ton Of Congress almost covers the cost of compo-
sition. and this enables 20 sell for little more
than the cost of pres,-work and paper. It re-
quires the sale of about 5000 copies reimburse
expenses. II 500 only sold. the cost of each

English Parliament cost about el~cen times as
:, much as charge subscribers for the debates in
