THE GLOBE.
THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CONGRESS.

publish now my annual Prospectus of the
DAILY GLOBE, and the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX, to remind subscribers, and in
form those who may desire to subscribe, that
Congress will meet on the first Monday of next
December, when ! shall publishing
the above named papers. They have been pub
lished so long, that most public men know their
character, and therefore | deem it needless to
give a minute account of the kind of matter they
will contain.
TIL DAILY GLOBE will contain a report of the
debates In both branches of Congress as taken
down by reporters equal, at least, to any corps
of shorthand writers inthis, or any other coun-
try. A maiority of them will, zach, be able to
report, ~cerbatim, ten thousand words an hour,
while the everage number ofwords 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 col
umns, they %willappear in the Daily Globe of the
next morning, which will contain also, the news
of the day, together with such editorial arti-
cles as may be suggested by passing events.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
contain q report of all the Debates In Congress,
revised by the Speakers, the Messages of the
President of the United States, the Annual Re-
ports of the Heads of the Executive Departments
the Laws passed during the session, and copi-
Gus indexes to all. They will be printed on a
double royal sheet, in book form, royal quarto
size. each number containing sixteen pages
The whole will make, it is believed, between
3,oUO and $500 pages, the long sessions for
many years past having ranged between those
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 print
ed from manuscript copy, taking for data the
average number of words of the long sessions
since the year 1S4S. The average number of
pages is 1876, and the average number of
words on a page is 1897, consequently the av-
erage number of words of a long session is
9,290,11 AS Ihave sold to subscribers that
number of words for sir dollars, it follows that
they have paid less than sir and one hall cents for
erery lGO 900 arords 1 hare furnished them, while
| have paid my reporters $6,29 for every 1887
words, of this work, IN manuscript.
The coming session will, without doubt, be
an unusually interesting one, because the can
didates of the respective parties for President
and lice President of the United States will be
nominated before it closes, and, therefore, the
debates will be mostly on such political ques-
tons as, it may be thought, will tend to infiu-
ence public opinion in regard to the persons to
be supported for these offices, and the Globe
will be, as it has been for many years past, the
only source from which the full debates of Con-
gress can be obtained.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix pass
free through the mails of the United States, as
will be seen byreading the following Joint Res
olution passed by Congress the 9th of August,
1852
