lllU ULODU
The OmciaI Organ Of Congress and News
paper for the People.
/ address my annual circular 10 the public, APP
prising il that the Globe will renew its reports OF
The CoDgrcs sional Debates al the next session of
Congress. II is hardly necessary to say that the
| proceedings Of the next Congress will be Of vast
import TO the country. The issues which have
been made in relation 10 slavery, connected with
| the great interest which 10 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 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 they progress, and public opinion, ii
| properly informed, will have salutary influence
| upon the result.
| The DAILY GLOBE will be printed on a 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 10 the hour of going TO press.
The debates in Congress frequently fill thirty,
forty, fifty, and sometimes more than a hundred
columns day. Whenever they make more than
twenty-eght columns day, extra sheets are
printed
TuEsDAY's CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will be- pub
proceedings Of Congress in a condensed form; tho
current news of the day, and such editorial com
ment upon the times A. may be deemed suitable
to the character of the paper. When tho 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,
n a N n
will, probably, make four volumes of nine hum
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-
sariy accompany them. Complete indexes will
be made out and forwarded 10 subscribers soon
after the end Of the session. II subscriber shall
lose any numbers, they will be supplied At the
rate of three cents for sixteen pages.
Il is admitted by every competent Judge, whose
opinion have heard expressed on tho subject,
that the debates of Congress are better reported,
and sold lower 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 oMs
| elsuenh the rate charged in England for publish
ing the debates Of Parliament, and about one
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Kentucky (Which
are all the States in which the prices paid had
then been ascertained,) for publishing their de-
bates in book form only The debates Of Con-
gress are offered to subscribers in this Prospec-
tus, for about onshalf the price paid for them by
Congress-the expense Of reporting, and then
publishing them in the Daily Globe to enable
members 10 revise their remarks for the Congress
sonal Globe and Appendix, are all paid for by
Congress, and do not form any part of the IS
which an individual pays for them. Calculations
showing the prices paid for debates printed on
the fourth page of the paper.
To facilitate the circulation Of the Congressional
Globe and cheaper il to subscribers, Congress
passed joint resolution making it free Of postage.

"With a view TO the cheap circulation of the

"Be Il resolved BIZ tho Senate and HOUSE of Repre-
