THE GLOBE:



The Oaiciai Organ OF and News
paper for the People.
address my annual circular 10 the public, APP
prislng II that the Globe will renew its reports of
the Congressional Debates at the next session Of
Congress. Il is hardly necessary 10 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 is always taken in Con-
gress IN relation 10 the nomination of presidential
candidates., viii give intense excitement TO the
next session, which will be communicated 10 the
public. Whatever is debated in Congress WILDE
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, if
properly informed, will have a salutary influence
upon the result.
The DAILY GLOBE will be printed ON a 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 a hundred
columns a day. Whenever they make more than
twenty-eight columns a 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
10 the character of the paper. When the debates
of a week cannot be condensed into twenty
columns, and leave eight columns Of the sheet
for 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, asd the laws passed during the session,
printed in book form on a royal quarlo page, and

speeches as are written out by the members them
selves, with such deferred proceedings as neces-
sarily accompany them. Complete indexes will
be made out and forwarded 10 subscribers soon
after the end Of the session. If a subscriber shall
lose any numbers, they will be supplied at the
rate OF three cents for sixteen pages.

body. a calculation which ! made for the Senate
OF the United States in April, 1854, shows that
