THE GLOBE.
THE OFFICIALPAPER OF CONGRESS

PUBLISH now my annual Prospectus OF THE
DAILY GLOBE, and The Conversational GLOBE
those who may desire to subscribe that Congress:
will meet on the first Monday Of next December
when shall recommence publishing the above
named papers. They have been published SC
long, that most public mon knew their character
and therefore deem it needless to give q minute
account Of 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 writers in this in any other country
majority Of them will, each, be- able to report
Uerbattm, ten thousand words an hour, while the
average number Of words spoken by fluent speak
ers rarely exceeds seven thousand five hundred
words an hour When the debates Of a day dc
not make moro than forty-fve columns they will
appear in the Daily Globe Of the next morning,
which will contain, also, the news Of the day, to-
gether with such editorial articles as may be sug-
gestcd by passing events.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APrIxpIx will
contain report Of all the Debates in Congress,
revised by the speakers the Messages Of the Presi
dent Of the United States, the Annual Reports of
the Heads of the Executive Departments. the
Laws passed during the session, and copious in
royal sheet, IN book form, royal quarto size, each
number containing sixteenIpages The whole will
make, it is believed, between $500 and 5000
pages, the long sessions for many years PAST hay
ing ranged between those numbers, and the next
session will be n long one. This believe is the
cheapest work ever sold in any country, whether a
reprint, or printed from manuscript copy, taking
FOR ddtd the average number Of words OF the long
sessions since the year 1913. The average num-
Der OF pages is 1916, and the average number OF
words on page is 1887, consequently the average
number Of words Of long session is 1890, 772-
As have sold to subscribers that number Of words
for siT dollars it follows that they have paid u
ham sir and one hay cents for every 100 600 cords
Ihare furnished them, while have paid my repor
tiers ~ % for every 1887 words, Of this work, IL
manuscript.
Tho oming session will, without doubt be an
unusually interesting one, because the candidate
Of the respective parties for President and Vice
President Of tho United States will be mentioned
before it Closes and therefore, the debate. will be
mostly OF such political questions ms, it may be
thought, will tend to influence public opinion IN
regard to the persons to be supported for these
offices and tho Globe will be, rs il has been for
many years past, tho only source from which tho
full debates Of Congress can BIO obtained.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CLONE AND ApPENEIx pass
free through tho mails Of tho United States, as
will be seen by reading the following Joint Koso-
luton passed by Congress the 9th Of August 1852.
OF the Laws OF Congress and the Dabatcs thereon.
With a view to tho cheap circulation OF tho
laws Of Congress and the debates contributing to
