Independent Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1842-1844, 1843-12-02

most important questions ever entertained
by the national councils, and new and i'm
poriant questions never before fully ventu-
red upon, has induced the publishers of
the Globe TO make greater and better
preparation than heretofore for reporting
and publishing the proceedings and speech
es OF the next session. A stronger corps
Of reporters, new type, and finer paper,
will be provided, 10 present, in the best
manner, the debates and doihgs of the rep
resentatives of the Union, which assemblies
under exciting circumstances, very wide
" differing from the state of things en-
countered by any previous Congress. The
executive power is at war with both the
great parties that compose the Congress;
and one of these will have the ascenden-
cy in the Senate, while the other holds the
power in the recently chosen popular
branch. In this attitude Congress will
meet, to deal with the most Interesting top
les which have ever invoked its wisdom.
1t will find the whole revenues of the
country in the hands of irresponsible
iunc ionaries, in whom no party confides.
1t will find an oppressive tariff robbing the
great mass of the people and the Gov
eminent. 1t will find monstrous mon
eyed and specializing interest struggling
to build up another Independent taxing
power in an incorporated establishment
giving as a vested right TO certain classes,
authority to counterfeit for the nation
currency forbidden by the Constitution.
1t will find political agitators in Congress
10 work Tor Presidential aspirants, urging
the distribution Of the national domain,
and the assumption OF State debts, as a
means of enlisting in their political de.
signs oil the classes who look to distribu-
ton as perpetuating an excessive tariff, 10
assumption as approaching their stocks
and creating national debt--opening
new field of speculation, Of which ma
,ional bank is considered necessary, as the
grand stimulator. With all these vast is
sues will be involved the question of tho
f next Presidency, en- which it is supposed
f every result will depend.
In such crisis, it is proper that the
people in every district Of the Union
r should be well informed of the course pur-
; sued by its particular representative, and
| of the bearings of all the discussions in
b Congress, and of all its proceedings. The
a important topics opened up in Congress,
h will, we have no doubt, greatly protract
}, the session, and consequently increase the
n volume OF our reports. The Congress
q ionaI Globe of the last long session (made
! up of the proceedings, including the !, otes
and q synopsis Of the discussions) extend
\ ed TO almost u thousand quarto pages,
small print The Appendix of speeches.
| revised or written out by the speakers, con-
r sisted also of about one thousand quarto
: pages. These volumes were furnished
lfor ST. each. The same amount of mat
/, ter reported and printed at the usual pri-
e ces, could not be afforded for less than $40
!. per volume. The matter being prepared
f for our nowspaper,we are enabled to trans
/. fer il and convert it into the book form 4,
e and sell it at the reduced subscription
I price. But the volume of the reports, in
# creased by the long session of Congress,
. made the cost of the paper alone nearly
|, equal the price at which the volume was
T. sold. The publishers made nothing on
n their work. Anticipating that the ap-
IS oroaching session will not be shorter than
e The long one of the 9th Congress, we had
l. determined to raise the price OF the Con-
gressional Globe and Appendix to ~
+ each: and, to Justify this enhanced price,
j. incurred new expenses to add to the value
e of the work. But, being impressed with
!: the Importance of spreading Information
!. among the people. on the eve OF an Cleo
,r hon fraught with such consequences to
d the country as that of the next Presiden.
ar CIV. we have resolved to adhere to the old
h price of ST. for the Congressional Globe
!. and 81 for the Appendix of speeches, to
all subscribers up to the LIST of January
T. next. After that day, the price will be
n So tor each.
If AS some persons who may receive this
& prospectus may wish TO subscribe tor our
!. regular papers, we will here state that we
e publish Daily paper at $40; Semi
l. weekly paper at s.; and Weekly paper,
II with complete index TO it, at 81 year,
d payable in advance
