THE GLOBE.
The Official paper Of Congress.

TPUBLISH my annual Prospectus of The
daily Globe, and The Congressional Gl ODE
And Appendix, to remind subscribers, and
inform those who may desire TO subscri be,
that Congress will meet on tie first day of
next December, when shall recommence
publishing the above named papers. They
have been published so long, that most pub
lie men kov their character, and therefore
deem il needless 10 give minute account
of the kiEd of matter they will contain.
The Daily Globe will contain a report OF
The Debates in both branches OF Congress
as taken by reporters equal, al least, 10 any
corps OF sholt. hand writer's in this country.
majority OF them will, each, lie able 10
report verbatim, len 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 4 day do not make
more than forty five columns they will ap-
pear in The daily Globe of the next morn
ing, which will contain, also, The news of
the day, together with such editorial arlic.
les as may be suggested by passing events.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix
will contain a report Of all The Debates in
Congress, revised by the speakers, the Mes.
sages of The President of the United States,
the annual reports of the Heads of the Exc
culive Departments, The Laws passed du.
ring the session, and copious indexes 10 all.
They will be printed on double royal shee,
in book form, royal quarlo size, each NUN .
Der containing sixteen pages. The whole
will make, il is believed, between $500
and 1900 pages, the long sessions for many
years past having ranged between tho Sc
numbers, and the next session will be a
long one. This believe is The cheapest
work ever sold in any country, whether a
reprint, or printed from manuscsipt copy,
taking Tor Data the average number of words
of the long sessions since the year 1S4s.-
The average number of pages 3,s75 and
The average number OF words on a page is
1887, consequently the average number oi
long session is $3.50, :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
1000 words have furnished them while
J have paid my reporters Sc 80 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 for
President and Vice 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 lend 10 influence public opin.
ion in regard 10 the persons 10 be support.
ed for these offices, and the Globe will be-
as 1t has been for many years past The only
source from which the full debates OF Cou.
| gress can be obtained.
