THE GLOBE:
The Official Paper of Congress.

TPUBLISH now my annual Prospectus ofthe
L DAILY GIoDg and the CONGRESSIONAL
GLOBE AND ApPESDIX, to REMIND SUBSTITUTE
and inform those who may desire 10 suosCflne:
that Congress will meet On the first M"h""v on
next December, when | shall recomnGhce
publishing the above named paper. Inc!
have been published so long that most pubhc
men know their character, and therefore l
deem il nee Hess to give II minute account u
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 shorthand writers in this or any other
country. A majority of them will, each, be
able to report, verbatim, ten thousand WORDS
an hour. while the average number OF words
spol;en by fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven
thousand five hundred words an hour. When
+ ,,o .,-tes OF a day do not make more than
s,.,. ms. they sch'll appear in the Daily
| Globe the next morIll,., when w'.-

editorial articles as may be suggested by pass

as occasion may require, to publish my remi-
nisCenccs of the public men with whom have
! been associated during the last twenty eight
! years. Anecdotes of General jackson. and the
! leaders Of the party which he conducted. and
! the leading men Of other parties, will, / be-

| In becoming the reporter of the debates of
Congress deemed it proper to say that the
Globe would never he plrtizin paper. This
pledge will not he forfeited by introducing us

character which distinguished the public men
of my time. Although ] am, and intend to
rem lin. a thorough Democrat will never OBJ
trude 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 l am resolved to
speak independently of all parties.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
contain q report of all the debates in Congress.

The whole will make, it is believed, between
800 and 8, 900 pages, as the long sessions for
many years have ranged between those
numbers and the next session will be what is

words of the long sessions since the year lS4s.
The average number Of papes is 3 SI6 and the
average number of words on a page is 2, 397.
consequently the average number of words of

subscribers that number Of words for six dol
