THE GLOBE :
The OmciaI Organ OF Congress and News
paper for tho People.

/ address my annual circular 10 the public, APP
prisrng il that the Globe will renew its reports Of
the Congressional Debates ut the next session of
Congress. II is hardly necessary 10 say thai 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 10 the
next session, which will be communicated To 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 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 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 10 press.
The debates in Congress frequently fill thirty,
forty, hfty, and sometimes more than a hundred
columns a day. Whenever they make NOR than
twenty-eight columns a day, extra sheets are
printed.

OF a 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 a royal quario 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

selves, with such deferred proceedings as neces-
sarlly ~ccompan them. Complete indexes will
be made out and forwarded TO subscribers soon
after the end of the session. If subscriber shall
lose any numbers, they will be supplied AZ the
rate OF three cents for sixteen pages.

are all the States in which the prices paid had
then been ascerained) for publishing their de-
bates in book form only. The debates Of Con-
