THE GLOBE:
The oaieial Paper of Congress.

The Official Paper of Congress.
~ONGRESS has made the GLoBE its organ of
" communication with the country 10 IA
ciltate this important object, and diminish the
expense to the people, the CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
and APPENDIX, which contain the proceedings OF
Congress revised by the members, are hencetorth
to be convened 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 10 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, 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 a mode through
which without cost for the delivery, all that is
for the nation, shall be put within the reach of
the poorest citizen.
The liberaIity 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 States, the Reports of the Heads of De-
partments, and all the laws passed during the
session, for Three Dollars price which barely
SIaHF
by the people. Every one who will compare the
price of this work with any other, taking into
view the amount Of matter and style of publica-
ton, " ill find that it is the cheapest circulated
from anv 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-which brings under
review discusses, and acts on all the interests of
this wide spread Republic, presenting to the peo-
n!e every event, foreign domestic, that can,
however remotely, affect the public interest-it
may be called the best well the cheapest
publication in the world
The approach of a new administration imparts
peculiar Importance to the present session of
Congress. Throughout the whole country there
will be solicitude TO know what shape Congress
will endeavor to give to the national affairs TO
meet the incoming Administration. The debates
of the next session will, no doubt, as heretofore,
foreshadow its policy. IL is one Of tho adIlira-
bic features of our institutions, that the popular
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,
eXerted through different agents and from differ
eEt quarters, gives that direction which its supe
rior force compels sometimes even dissenting de-
partrnentS 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 mca-
SIIrp hlt he m yvh tn triX- fhnT,
effect, will depend much on the next Congress-;
for, without doubt, il 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, rs well as the smallest mat
tiers and appointments affecting them.
