TPUBLISH my annual Prospectus Of The

And Appendix, to remind subscribers, and
inform those who may desire 10 subscr be,
that Congress will meet oil tie first day ol
next December, when shall recommence
publishing the above named papers. They
have been published so long, that mos, pub
lie men koS their character, and therefore
l deem II needless 10 give minute account
of The kiEd of matter they will contain.
The Daily Globe will contain report oil
The Debates IN both branches OF Congress
as taken by reporters equal, al least, 10 any
corps of shoit hand writer's in this country.
A majority of Them will, each, lie able 10
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 a day do not make
more than forty five columns they will ap-
pear in The daily Globe of the next morn

ber containing sixteen pages. The whole
will make, II is believed, between 3,S0O
and 5000 pages, tue long sessions for many
years past having ranged between those
numbers, ard the next session will be q
long one. This believe is The cheapest
work ever sold in any country, whether a
reprint, or printed from manu.csipt copy,
taking for Data the average number OF words
ol lhe long sessions since the year lS48.-
The average number of pages 1875 and
the average number OF words on page is
2,397, consequently the average number OF
long session is 1920, .72. AS | have
sold 10 subscribers that number of words for
six dollars, it follows that they have paid
less than six and one half cents for every
0,000 words have furnished them while
have paid my reporters So 90 for every
1857 words, OF this work. in manuscript.
The coming session will, without doubt
be an unusually interesting one, because
the candidates Of The respective parties fol
President and Wee President oil the United
States will be nominated before il closes,
and therefore, the debates will be mostly
on such political questions as, it may be
| thought, will tend 10 influence public opin
