l address my annual circular TO the public, APP
prsing il that the Globe will renew lis 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
impori 10 the country. The issues which have
been made in relation 10 slavery, connected with
tho great interest which IL always taken in Con-
gress in relation 10 the nomination of presidential
candidates. will give intense excitement 10 the
next session, which will be com unicated 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
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
ings OF Congressi tho 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
forty, fifty, and sometimes more than hundred
columns day. Whenever they make NOR: 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
10 the character Of the paper. When the debates
OF 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 CoNGR KssIoNAL 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 hun.
dred pages each. The last volume Of the four
will be an APPENDIX, 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. II subscriber shall
lose any numbers. they will be supplied at the
rate OF three cents for sixteen pages
Il Is admitted by every com etent 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 calculation which made for the Senate
OF the United States in April, 1854, shows that
Congress pays me for reporting and publishing
lis debates In the Daily Globe, and then in the
Congressional Globe and Appendix, only ons
eleventh the rate charged in England for publish
ing the debates Of Parliament, and about one
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 ascerlained) for publishing their de-
bates in book form only. The debates Of Con-
gress are offered 10 subscribers, in this Prospec-
tus, for about half the price paid for them by
Congress-the expense OF reporting, and then
publishing them in the Daily Globe TO enable
members 10 revise their remarks for the Congress
sional Globe and Appendix, all paid for by
Congress, and do not form any part of the $6
which an individual pays for them. Calculations
