eral leaders in the Senate-by throwing the
dead weight Of an expenditure of $4,000 in
preparation to do the Congressional work, on
The hands ofits publishers, (the printers whose
contract was violaied,) and by having this
whole work of defamation and ruin accom-
plished by the judgement Of the Senate of The
Union to give 1.-THE sanction Of The highest trib.
unal known to our country. The work was
done by caucus packed majority of Federal
lists and the Editors of the Globe are left 10 sus-
tain their establishment by the patronage they
may receive from political friends for the pa-
pers they publish. We will not ask or receive
the sort oflumping contributions by which the
banks and Federal politicians sustain their pres
ses. We will abandon the publication of the
Globe, lift cannot be supported by the regular
subscription plice Of the paper. Isuch OF our
Democratic friends whose circumstances do not
justify subscription to the daily or semi.weekly
paper, will .patronize the cheaper publications
issued by us--the Extra Globe-the Conures-
sional Globe, and the Appendix-we shull be
enabled to maintain, as heretofore, our corps
of Congressional Reporters at the cost ofS3, 900
per annum, and TO draw to our aid some of the
ablest pens Ill our country. We trust, under
these circumstances, and at q time when the
greatest interest of the country, and its future
destiny are put al stake upon the events with
which the first year Of the present Administra.
ton is pregnant that no individual who has the
cause Of Democracy at heart, will hesitate to
meet this appeal, when at the same time he will
feel assured that this trfling tax for his own ad-
vantage, will sustain in triumph at Washington,
the long-tried aud faithful press ofhs party.
The Extra Globe will be published weekly
for six months, commencing on Wednesday,
the 10th May, and ending on the 18th Noyern-
ber next, making twenty six numbers, the last
of which will contain an index. Each number
will contain sixteen royal quarto pages. twill
contain principally political matter. The po-
litical aspect and bearing ofthe measures before
Congress during the special session will be full
y developed and when the proc ?edings are
considered of much interest 10 the public, thew
will be given at length.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
begin with the extra session of Congress, to
commence on Monday the 3Ist of May next,
and will be continued during the session. The
Congressional Globe will give an impartial his
tory of the proceedings of both House, of Con-
gress and the Appendix will contain all the
speeches OIL both sides Of important subjects, at
full length, as written out, or revised, by the
members themselves. They will be printed as
fast as the business the two Houses furnishes
matter for a number. 1t is certain that we will
publish more numbers Of each that there will
be weeks in the session They will be issued in
the same form as the Extra Globe, and cop-
GUS index TO each. Nothing but the proceed
ings and speeches Of Congress will be admitted
into the Congressional Globe or Appendix.
These works being printed in suitable form
for binding, with copious indexes, will form a
valuable, indeed, necessary, appendage to
the library OF the statesman and politician, CIV
ing, as they do, at an extremely moderate price
a complete eptome of the political and le gisla.
tive history Of the period.
Subscriptions for the Extra Globe should be
here by the 26th May, and for the Congression-
al Globe andAppendix by the 9th of June next,
to insure all the numbers.
