The Official Paper of Congress.
CONGRESS has made the GLOBE its organ of
" communication with the country. To fa-
citate this important object, and diminish the
expense to the people, the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX, which contan the proceedings of
Congress revised by the members, are henceforth
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 tho representative
and constituent bodies:
Be it Resolved byNthe 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 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 of postage.
Approved, August 5th, 1852.
The GLOBE will now, trust, enter upon a new
and more 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 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
the poorest citizen.
The liberaity with which Congress patronfzcs
the work, enables the undersigned to report the
proceedings, and deliver full sets of both the Com
gressional Globe and the Appendix, containing
the proceedings, daily debates, the written-out
speeches., the messages of the President of the
United States, the Reports of the Heads of De-
partments, and all the laws passed during the
session, for Three Dollars-u 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 mntter and style 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
ION the action of that representative body which
moves and maintains them-which brings under
review, discusses, and acts all the interests of
this widespread Republic, presenting to the pco-
! pie every event, foreign or 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 administration imparts
peculiar importance to the present session &C
Congress. Throughout the whole country there
will be so.fcftude to know what shape Congress
will endeuvor to give to the national affairs to
meet the incoming Administration. The debates
of the NEXT session will. no doubt, heretofore,
tOreslIidOw its policy 1t is OF the admira-
bic features of our institutions, that the popular
body and Executive Head, both gifted with indie
pendent power, and both representing the pau-
pie and the States, shall act and react on each
other 1t is in this way tho sovereign authority,
eXerted through different agents and from differ
eut quarters, gives that direction which its snpe-
rior force compels sometimes even dissenting de-
partIncnts of the Government to adopt. Those,
therefore, who would understand well the policy
which is likely TO bear upon the next Admins
tration, ought 70 scan the debates of that Com
gress which Immediately precedes it. Not lnea-
sures, On. Y, but the men who are to rvo them
effect, will depend much on tho next Congress;
for, without doubt, it will have its due influence
on the acts of the new President, whoever he
may be, in regard to all that may interest the
constituencies represented by its members in re-
gard to the greatest, well as the smallest mat
terS and appointments affecting them.
