THE GLOBE:
The Official Paper Of Congress.


publish now NV annual Prospectus of The
DAsLY GLOBE, and The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
AND APPENDIX, 10 remind Subscribers, and in
TO rm those tho may desire to Subscribe, that
Congress will meet on the first Monday Of next
December, when shall recommends PUBLISH.
ing the above named papers. They have been
pu bished so long, tnat most public men know
their character, and therefore deem ii need
less to give 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 shorthand writers in this, or in
any other country. majority OF them will,
each, be able TO report, uer6afim, ten thousand
words an hour, while the average number Of
ords spoken by fluent speakers rarely 'ex-
ceeds seven thousand five hundred word5 an
hour. When the debates OF day do not make
more than iorty-fve columns, they will APP
Dear in the Daily Globe of the next morning,
which ill contain, also, the news OF the day,
together with such editorial articles as may
be suggested by passing events.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE AND APPENDIX
will contain u report OF all the Debatesin Con-
gress, revised by the speakers, the Messages OF
the President of the United States, the An
nua Reports of the Heads OF the Executive
Departments, the Laws passed during the SEES
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, the
long sessions for many years past have ranged
between those numbers, and the next session
will be q long one. This believe is the cheap
est work ever sold IN any country, whether
reprint, or printed from manuscript copy, ia
king for data the average number OF oTds OF
the long sessions since the year loI6 The
average IN uiber Of pages is 1876, and the av-
erage nu'nber o words on page is 1897, { on
seauently tha average number OF words OF q
long session is 9,290,T72 Az have sold TO
subscribers that number Of words for sir dol
lars, it follows that they have paid less than
sir and one half cents for every 100000 gords
hare furnished them, while have paid my
reporters Sc 30 for every 2,397 words, of this
WORK in manuscript.
The coming session will, without doubt, be
an unusually interesting one, because the can
dates of the respective parties for President
and Vice President of the United States will
I've nominated before it closes, and, therefore,
the debates will be mostly on such political
questions as, it may be thought, will tend to
influence public opinion in regard 10 the per-
sons to be supported for these offices, and the
Globe wi he, as it has been for many years
past, the only source from which the iu II de-
bates of Congress can be obtained.
