History

When Jacksonian Democrats strengthened their hold on the legislative branch in the 1830 elections, Gales and Seaton's popularity declined due to their differing views with the 22nd Congress and the Jackson administration. The new printing partnership of Francis Preston Blair and John Cook Rives founded the Congressional Globe in 1833 with President Andrew Jackson's support. In 1837, the Register of Debates ceased publication.
