paper for the People.
( address my annual circular 10 the public, ap
prising il that the Globe will renew lis reports o
| the Congressional Debates at the next session o
Congress. II is hardly necessary 10 say that the
| proceedings OF ihe next Congress will be of vasi
i import 10 the country. The issues which have
! been made in relation 10 slavery, connected with
| the great interest which IL always taken in Con
| gress in relation 10 the nomination Of presidential
candidates, will give Intense excitement 10 The
| next session, which will be communicated u The
| public. Whatever is debated in Congress will be
debated everywhere. The Importance Of official
reports cannon, therefore, be too highly estimated.
The country will pass upon the proceedings OF
Congress as they progress, and public opinion, If
properly informed, will have salulary influence
upon the result.
4 The DAILY GLOBE will be printed on double
royal sheet at 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 oil thirty,
forty, fifty, and sometimes more than hundred
columns day. Whenever they make mors than
twenty-eght columns day, extra sheets are
printed
lshed every Tuesday morning, and contain the
proceedings of Congress in a condensed form; the
current news of the day and such editorial com
ment upon the times as may be deemed suitable
10 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 quarlo page, and
will probably, make four volumes of nine hun
dred pages each The last volume of the four
will be an APPENDIX, which will contain such
speeches written out by the members them
selves, with such deferred proceedings neces-
sariy accompany them. Complete indexes will
be made out and forwarded 10 subscribers soon
after the end Of the session. II a subscriber shall
lose any numbers, they will be supplied at the
rate OF three cents for sixteen pages.
II is admitted by every comnetent Judge whose
opinion l have heard expressed on the subject,
that the debates Of Congress better reported.
and sold lower than those OF any other Legislative
body. 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
eleventh the rate charged in England for publish
ing the debates OF Parliament and about one
seve'nh the average rate paid by the States Of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Kentucky, (Which
all the States in which the prices paid had
bates in book form only. The debates OF Con-
gress ofe red 10 subscribers, in this Prospec-
tus for about one halt the price paid for them by
Congress--the expense OF reporting, and then
publishing them in the Daily Globe 10 enable
members TO revise their remarks for the Congress
sional Globe and Appendix, are all paid for by
Congress, and do not form any part of the Sc
which an individual pays for them Calculations
showing the prices paid for debates are printed on
the fourth page Of the paper.
