THE GLOBE:
The Official Organ Of Congress and News

paper for the People.
| address my annual circular 10 the public, APP
prising il that the Globe will renew It's reports Of
The Congressional Debates at the next session of
Congress. Ii 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 TO 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 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 as they progress. and public opinion II
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 dnrihg 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, 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
proceedings of Congress in condensed form the
CURRENT news OF the DAY, ana sucn 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
Tor 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 quarto page, and
will, probably, make four volumes of nine hun
dred pages each. The last volume of the four

speeches as are written out by the members them.

sarlly accompany them. Complete indexes will
be made out and forwarded 10 subscribers soon
after the end of the session. liza subscriber shall

rate Of three cents for sixteen pages.

opinion | have heard expressed on the 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
It's debates in the Daily Globe, and then in the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, only one
