! publishing the above named paper. lhey
! have been published So long that most public
men know their character, and therefore l
| deem it needless to give minute account OF
| the kind of matter they will contain.
The DAILY GLOBE will contain areport of the
| Debates in both branches of Congress, Us taken
down by reporters, equal, at least, to any corps
of short hand writers in this or any other
county. A majority of them will, each, he
able to report, verbatim, ten thousand words
an hour. while the average number Of words
spoken by 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 as may be suggested 10y pass
ing events.
| 1t is also my intention, from time to time,
as occasion may require. to publish my remi-
rscences of the public men with whom have
been associated during the last twenty eight
wears Anecdotes of General Jackson and the
leaders of the party which he conducted, and
the leading men of other parties, will, be-
! licvc, be interesting now, when partiZan bitter
ness has ahatcd.
! In becoming the reporter Of the debates of
Congress, | deemed it proper to say that the
| Globe would never he partizan paper. This
pledge will not be forfeited by introducing as
"A contribution to history the political traits of
character which distinguished the public men
of nv time Although ! am, and intend to
remain. thorough Democrat, will never OBJ
trude my principles i'll Il 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 a 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
ments the laws passed during the session, and
corious indexes to all They will be quarto
size. each number containing sixteen pages.
| The whole will make. it is believed, between
!, 800 and 8. 900 pages, the long sessions for
many years have ranged between those
numbers and the next session will he what is
| termed a - long one This believe is the
cheapest work ever sold in any country
whether a reprint or printed from manuscript
copy, taking for data the average number of
words Of the long sessions since the year 1913.
The average number OF papcs is 8, $40, and the
average number of words on page is 1881.
consequently the average number of words Of
| a long session is 8 ,2JO.172. As / have sold to
subs ribers that number of words for six dol
lars it follows that they have paid less than
six and one half cents for every 100, 900 words
| have furnished them, while have paid my
reporters sc. 20 for every :, 391 words of this
work, in manuscript. Has any other book
