The Odlclal Paper OF Congress

AAAO OSAGAAA y NaNIOA GAO0o
shall publish the Daily Globe, and the Congress
sioual Globe, and Appendix during the next session
Of C9agres. The Daily Globe VIII contain q report
1 Of the debates in both branches Of Congress, as ia
ken down byrepOrters, equal at least, to any corps
Of short hand writers in this or any other eo1ntry.
When the debates Of the day do not make more than
fCrty-fVe columns, they shall appear 10 the Globe
OF the next morning, which will contain, slsO, the
news Of the day, together with such editorial arii-
ces as passing events suggest.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix, viii con-
tain a report Of all the debates in Con6ress, revised
by the Speakers, the Messages Of the President Of
the United States, the Annual reports Of the heads
Of the Executive Departments, the Reports of com
mittees Of Congress on important subjects Of gen
oral interest, the Laws passed during the session,
and capious indexes to all. These viii be printed
on a double royal sheet in book form, royal quarto
size, each number containing sixteen pages, aver
aging 2 ,3S7 words per page. The whole will make
between 100 and 1000 pages. 1t is believed that
no book has ever bean published at so low n rate.
Last year l advertised in the Daily Globe for six
months, and in about one hundred other newspa-
pers in the United States, a reward to any person Uf
two hundred and forty-fYe dollars, who would pro-
duee a book pablished Of so low a rate, and none
was produced. The large number Of copies sub
scribed for by Congress enables me to afford the de-
bates to subscribers so cheap.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix pass free
through the mails Of the United States, as will be
seen by reading the following joint resolution pas
sedb by Congress August 6, 1852:
Joint Resolution Providing for the Dis
tibution of The LaUs of Congress and
the Debates Thereon:
With a view to the cheap circulation Of the laws
Of Congress, and the debates contributing to the true
Interpretation thereof, ard to make free eOmmuni-
cation between the representative and constituent
bodies
Re it resolved by the Senate and House of Repre-
scntatives of the United States Of America in the

strued to authorize the circulation Of the daily
