Under these circumstances a compromise was made. The publishers agreed that the series should not exceed twenty volumes at a maximum average cost of $20,400 each, and that the secretary of state should approve the materials offered for publication.

Rives, conducted it until the changing standards and conditions in journalism rendered the administration organ obsolescent. The globe was displaced in 1841 by another paper called The national Intelligencer, which in turn gave way to The Madisonian. Thomas Ritchie was in 1845 called from his long service on The Richmond Enquirer to found, on the remains of The globe, the Washington Union, to speak for the Polk administration and to reconcile the factions of democracy.
