The OnciAl Organ OF Congress and News
paper Tor the People.
/ address my annual circular TO the public, APP
prising il that the Globe will It's reports oil
1.-The Congress sonal 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
tho great interest which is always taken in Con-
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, II
properly informed, will have a salutary influence
upon the result
The DAILY GLOBE will be printed on 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
Iings 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 ill thirty,
columns day. Whenever they make more than
twenty-eight columns day, extra sheets are
printed
TUESDAYS CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will be pub
ished every Tuesday morning, and contain the
proceedings of Congress in condensed form the
current news of the day, and such editorial com
ment upon the times as may be deemed suitable
TO the character of the paper. When the debates
|of q 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 Conversational 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 royal quarto page, and
will, probably, make four volumes Of nine hum
|dred pages each. The last volume of the four
will be an ArPENDIx, which will contain such
speeches as are written out by the members them
selves, with such deferred proceedings 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.
Il is admitted by every competent Judge, whose
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
its debates in the Daily Globe and then in the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, only one
elevsntA the rate charged in England for publish
seventh the average rate paid by the States OF
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Kentucky, (Which
are all the States in which the prices paid had
then been ascertanedD for publishing their de-
bates in book form only. The debates OF Con-
gress offered TO subscribers, in this Prospect
Itus, 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 TO revise their remarks for the Congress
sional Globe and Appendix, are all paid for BY
Congress, and do not form any part of the 30
which an individual pays for them. Calculations

To facilitate the circulation OF the Congressional
Globe and cheaper II TO subscribers, Congress
passed joint resolution making it free of postage
annex it, as the law may not be accessible TO
postmasters generally:
"Joint Resolion providing for the distribntion of
The Laps of Congress and tho Debates thereon
"With a view to the cheap circulation Of the
laws Of Congress and the debates contributing 10
the true Interpretation thereof, and to make free
{the communication between the representative
and constituent bodies:
"Bs Il resolved By the Senate and House of Repre-
SIGNATURES of the United States of america IN Com
gress assembled That from and after the present
session of Congress, the Congressional Globe and
Appendix, which contain the laws and the debates
thereon, shall pass free through the mails so long,
as the same shall be published by order OF Conf
gress: Provided, That nothing herein shall bel
construed to authorize the circulation of the Daily
Globe free Of postage"

Of them is exhausted, and am now reprinting
