THE GLOBE:
The Official Paper Of Congress.

pJrRIISU now NV annual Prospectus OF the
DAILY GLOBE and the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE AND APPENDIX, to remind subscribers
and inform those who may desire to shpscr>pei
that Congress will meet on the first Monday OF
next December, when | shall rccomlnehce
publishing the above named paper. lhel
have been published so long that most public
men know their character, and therefore
deem it needless TO give a minute account ot
the kind of matter they will contain.
THE DAILY 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 hand writer's in this or any other
country majority of them will, each, be
able to report verbatim, ten thousand words
an hour while the average number OF words
spokcn hv fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven
thousand five hundred words an hour When
the debates OF day do not make more than
forty columns, they shall appear in the Daily
Globe the next morning which will contain,
also. the news of the day, together with such
editorial articles us may be suggested 10y pass
ing events.
! II is also my intention, from time to time,
rs occasion may require, To publish my RENT
nisccnces ofthc public men with whom have
been associated during the last twcnty-cight
wears Anecdotes Of General Jackson, and the
leaders Of the party which he conducted, and
the leading men Of other parties, will. be-
! licyc. he interesting now, when partizln bitter
ness has ahatcd.
! In becoming the reporter of the debates of
Congress, deemed it proper to say that the
Globe would never hc a partizan paper. This
pledge will not be forfeited by introducing us
a contribution to history the political traits OF
character which distinguished the public men
of my time Although i am, and intend to
remain, thorough Democrat, will never OBJ
trudc my principles in way to make them
obnoxious to any party. But in regard to
persons and events which go to make up
history, hope to make the Globe an honest
memoir; and with that view am resolved to
speak independently of all parties.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
contain report Of all the debates in Congress,
revised by the speakers, the Messages of the
President of the United States, the Annual
Reports of the Heads of the Executive Depart
mcnts, the laws passed during the session, and
copious indexes to all. They will be quarto
size each number containing sixteen pages.
The whole will make, it is believed between
$500 and 3 900 pages, as the long sessions for
many years have ranged between those
numbers, and the next session will be what is
termed II =" long one" This believe is the
cheapest work ever sold in any country,
whether Il reprint or printed from manuscript
COPY, taking for data the average number OF
words of the long sessions since the year lS4S.
The average number of papcs is 1876, and the
average number of words on a page is ., 391
consequently the average number Of words OF
a long session is 8 900, I12. As have sold 10
subscribers that number of words for six dol.
lars, it follows that they have paid less than
six and half oN,ga fox every 100 900 words
| have furnished them, while | have paid my
reporters ST, 20 for every 2,397 words. of this
work, in manuscript. Has any other book
seller, anywhere. ever sold Il book in the first
instance while it was new, at SO low a rate
| believe not and so strong is my belief that
| hereby agree to give to any person who shall
prove the contrary, complete set of the de-
bates running back to the year 1898, making
forty-threc qtarto volumes, which sell for IS a
volume. An act of Congress authorizes these
papers to go by mail free of postage. The
next session will be- without doubt, an I'M
usually interesting one, as it will be the first
under a new administration, and several COM
/ pick questions must he discussed in it for ex-
ample, the currency, Kansas. revenue, and
other questions. The Globe will be us hereto
! fore. the only source from which full debates
can he obtained.
