THE GLOBE:
The Omcial Paper Of Congress

publish now my annual Prospectus of the
Daily Globe, and the Congressional Globe and
Appendix, to remind subscribers, and inform
those who may desire to subscribe, that Con-
gress will meet on the first Monday Of next
December, when I shall recommence publish
ing the above named papers. They have
been published so long, that mos, public men
know their character, and therefore deem IT
needless to give a minute account of the kind
Of matter they will contain.
The Driiy Globe, will contain report OF
the debates IN both branches of Congress, as
taken down by reporters equal, at least, TO
any corps of short land writers in this, or in
any other country. A majority Of them will.
words an hour, while the average number of
words spoken by fluent speakers rarely ex-
ceeds seven thousand FIVE hundred words an
hour. When the debates Of the day do not
make more than forty columns, they shall ap-
pear in the Daily Globe Of the next morning,
which will contain also, the news Of the day,
together with such editorial articles as may
be suggested by passing events.
II is also my intention, from time 10 time,
as occasion may require, TO publish my rem
iniScenses Of the public men with whom
have been associated during the last twenty
eich, wears. Anecdotes Of Gen. Jackson, and
the leaders of the party which he conducted,
and the leading men of other parties, will. l
believe, be interesting now when partisan bit
terness has abaied
In becoming the reporter Of the debates OF
Congress. I deemed II proper 10 aay that the
Globe would never be partisan paper ms
pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as
a contribution to history the political traits oi
character, which distinguished the public
men of my time. Although am. and intend
to remain, thorough Democrat. will never
ob,rude my principles in a way TO make them
obnoxious TO any party. Bnt in regard TO
persons and events which go TO make up his
tory, hope to make the Globe an honest me-
moir; and with that view ! am resolved TO
speak independently Of all parties.
The Congregational Globe and Appendir Will
contain a report of all the Debates in Con
gress, revised by speakers, the Messages OF
the President of the United States, the Annu.
al Reports of the heads of the Executive De-
par,ments, the Laws passed during the ses.
sion, and copious Indexes to all. They Will
be printed on a double royal sheet, in book
form, royal quarto size, each number contain
ing sixteen pages. The whole will make. it
is believed between $500 and $500 pages as
the long sessions for many years have ranged
between those numbers, and the next session
will be what is termed "a long one." This
believe is the cheapest work ever sold IN
any country. whether reprint, or printed
from manuscript copy, taking for data the av-
erage number of words Of the long sessions
since the year ls4s. The average number
of words on page is 1887, consequently the
average number of words Of a long session Is
