TIE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS-.

publish now my5annual Prospectus of The Dali
" Globe, and The Congressional Globe aud Ap-
pendix, to remind subscribers, and inform t Nose
who may desire to subscribe, THAT Congress will
meet on the first Monday ofpext December, VIII en-
shall recommence publishing the above named
most public men know their character, and there
fore deem it needless to give minute account OF
| the kind of matter they will contain.
! The Daily Globe will contain report of the De-
bates in both branches of Congress as taken down
by reporters equal at least, to any corps Of short
hand writer's il this, Or in any other country. A
majority of them will, each, be able to report, GER
batin TEN thousand words an hour, while the ave-
rarely exceeds seven thousand five hundred words
an hour, When the debates of day do not make
more than forty-ive columns, they will appear in
the Daily .Globe Of the next morning, which will
contain, also, the news of the day, together with
such editorial articles may be suggested by pas
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will con-
tain report ofall the Debates in Congress, revi-
sed by the speakers the Messages of the President
OF the United States, the Annual Reports OF the
Heads Of the Executive Departments, the Laws
passed during the session, and copious indexes TO
all. They will be printe on double roy al sheet,
In book form, royal quarto size, each number con-
tanning sixteen pages. The whole will make, it is
believed, between 300 and $500 pages, the long
sessions for many years past having ranged be-
tween those numbers, and the 'lext session will be
long one. This believe is the cheapest work
ever sold in any country, whether a reprint, or
printed from manuscript copy. taking for data the
average number of words Ct the long sessions since
the year lS48. The average number of pages is
S,si6, and the average number fwords On apage
is 1877, consequently the average numbercf words
of long session is s. $780, 72. AS have sold to
subscribers that number of words for ssrdoars, it
fellows that they have paid less than sir and one
half ce'tsfor every 100 900 arords hare furnished
them while have paid my reporters Sc 20 for
every 1887 words, Of this work, IA manuscript.
The coming session will, without, doubt; be an
unusually interesting one, because the candidates
of the respective parties for President and Vice
President of the United States will be nominated
mostly on such political questions as, it may DO
thought will tend to influence public opinion in re-
gard to the persons to be .pported for these offices
and the Globe will be- i has been for many years
past; the only source from which the full debates of
Congress can be obtained.
Fhe Congressional Globe and Appendix pass free
through the mails of the United States a. will be
seen by reading the following Joint Resolution
passed by Congress the 9th OF August 1857:
