cilftate this important object, and diminish the
Il expense to the people, the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX, which contain the proceedings OF
Congress revised by the members, are hencetorth
to be conveyed through the mails free of postage
At the late session of Congress the following
Joint Resolution was passed:
Joint Resolution providing for the distribution OF
the Laws of Congress and the debates thereon
With view to the cheap circulation of the
Laws of Congress and the debates contributing to
the true Interpretation thereof, and to make free
the communication between the representative
and constituent bodies:
| Be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Re-
representatives. OF the United States of America, in
| Congress Assembled, That from and after the
present session of Congress, the Congressional
| Globe and Appendix which contain the laws and
the debates thereon, shall pass free through the
mails so long as the same shall be published by
order of Congress: Provided, That nothing here
in shall be construed to authorize the circulation
Of the Daily Globe free ofpostage.
| Approved, August 5th, 1852.
| The GLOBE will now, l trust, enter upon a new
and moro extended career of usefulness. Con-
| gress, which draws into its focus all the mpor-
tant topics and events of the times, for its discus
sion, and acts on them with view to the inter-
ests of the Republic, has provided mode through
which without cost for the delivery, all that is
said and done by the body that speaks and acts
for the nation, shall be put within the reach of
! the poorest citizen.
| The liberulity with which Congress patronizes
! the work, enables the undersigned to report the
proceedings and deliver full sets of both the Con-
gressional Globe and the Appendix, containing
the proceedings, daily debates, the written-out
| speeches, the messages of the President of the
United Stutes, the Reports of the Heads of De-
partments, and all the laws passed during the
session, for Three DOllars-a price which barely
pays for the printing of the copies subscribed for
by the people. Every one who will compare the
price of this work with any other, taking into
view the amount of mutter and style of pubIca-
ton, will find that it is tho cheapest circulated
from any press in the world: and if the country
places the value its political institutions
on the action of that representative body which
moves and maintains thenI-which brings under
review discusses, and acts OH all the interests OF
this widespread Republic, presenting to the peo-
pie every event, foreign domestic, that can
however remotely, u1fcct the public nterest-it
may be called the best US we'll us the cheapest
publication i'll the world.
| The approach of T. new administration imparts
peculiar importance TO the present session OF
Congress. Throughout the whole country there
will be solicitudc to know what shape Congress
will endcaVor to give to the national affairs Ia
meet the incoming Administration. The debates
of the next session will, doubt, as heretofore
torcshudow its policy. 1t is OF the admira-
Bile features of our institutions, that the popular
body and Executive Head, both gifted with indie
pendent power, and both representing the peo-
pie and the States, shall act and react on each
) other 1t is in this way the sovereign authority
cXertcd through different agents and from differ
ent quarters gives that direction which it's supe-
rior force compels sometimes even dissenting de-
partments of the Government to adopt. Those
therefore, who would understand well the policy
which is likely TO bear upon the next Admins
tration, ought To scan the debates of that Con.
gress which Immediately precedes it. Not mea-
sures, only, but the men who to give them
effect, will depend much on the next Congress
for, without doubt, it will have It's due influence
OH the acts of the President, whoever he
may be, in regard to all that may interest the
constituencies represented by its members in re-
gard 10 the greatest, as we'll as the smallest mat
tiers and appointments affecting them.
