The Official Paper of Congre.s.

|
CONGRESS has made the GLoRE its organ of
| - communication with the country. TO IA
cilitate this important object, and diminish the
expense to the people, the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
| and AFPENDIx, which contain the proceedings of
Congress revised by the members, arc henceforth
to be conveyed through the mails free of postage.
AT the late session of Congress tho 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 tho
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 tho circulation
Of the Daily Globe free of postage.
Approved, August 5th, 1852.
The GLoRE will now, trust enter upon nav
and moro extended career of usefulness. Con-
gress, which draws into its focus all the impor-
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 ltberufty with which Congress putronizes
the work, ennhes the undersigned to report the
proceedings and deliver full sets of both the Com
gressionul Globe and the Appendix, containing
the proceedings, daily debates, the written-out
speeches, the messages of the President of the
United Suites, the Reports of the Heads of De-
partmcnts, and all the laws passed during the
session, for Three Dollars 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 matter and stvle of publica-
ton, will find that it is the cheapest circulated
| from any press in the world: and if the country.
places the true value its political institutions
ON the action of that representative body which
moves and maintains them-whicL brings uud r
review, discusses, and acts all the interests of
this widespread Republic, presenting to the peO-
| pie every event, foreign domestic, that can,
however remotely, affect the public interest-it
may be called the best well as the cheapest
publication in the world.
The approach of new administration inparts
peculiar importance to the present session of
Congress. Throughout the whole country there
will be solicitude to know what shape Congress
will endcuvor to give to the national affairs to
meet the incoming Administration. The debates
of the next session will, doubt, as heretofore,
tOrcshadow its policy. 1t is one o. the adIniru-
bic 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 uct aud react on each
other 1t is in this way the sovereign authority,
eXered through different agents and from differ
ent quarters, gives that direction which its slIpe-
rior force compc!s sometimes even Gtsscntfugd,

therefore, who would uud rstind well the policy
which IL likely to bear upon the next Admins
tration, ought 70 sean the debates of that Con-
grcss which immediately prccedcs it. Not mcu-
SiIres, only, but the men who to give them
effect, will depend much on the next Congress-
for, without doubt it will have its due influence
on the acts of the President, whoever he
may be, in rsgard to all that mny interest the
constituencies represented by its members in re-
gard 10 the greatest, we'll as the smallest mat
