prising II that the Globe will renew lis 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., will give intense excitement TO the
next session, which will be communicated Ii. the

reports cannot, therefore. be too highly estimated.

Congress as they progress. and public opinion, il

upon the result.
The DAILY GLOBE will be printed on a double
royal sheet al eleven O'Clock every morning, ex-
