The Official Paper of Congress-.
CONGRESS has made the GLOBE its organ of
~ communication with the country. To IA
cilitate 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 henceforth
to be conveyed through the mails free of postage.
At the late session of Congress the following
Joint Resolution was passed: s5
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, trust, enter upon new
and more extended career of usefulness. Con-
gress which draws into its focus all the impor-
ant 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 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 liberality with which Congress patronizes
the work, enables the undersigned to report the
proceedings, and deliver full of both the Con-
gressionaI 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
rNFt no
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 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-which brings under
review, discusses, and acts on all the interests OF
this wide spread Republic, presenting to the peo-
pie every event, foreign domestic, that can,
however remotely, affect the public interest-it
NAV be called the best well as the cheapest
publication in the world.
The approach CT new administration irnparts
peculiar importance to the present session of
Congress. Throughout the whole country there
will be sOlcitude 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, doubt, as heretofore,
foreshadow its policy. 1t is one OF the admira-
bic features of our Institutions that the popular
pendent power, and both representing the peo-
pie and the States, shall act and react each
other 1t is in this way the sovereign authority,
exertcd through different agents and from differ
eut quarters, gives that direction which its supe-
rior force compels sometimes even dissenting de-
partnents 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-

effect, will depend much on the 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, as well as the smallest mat
tiers and appointments affecting them.
