possible, in time. perfect ii into rul' history
Of the action of Congress, giving the debates
accurately and fully with the proceedings-a,l
stamped vi ith tie verify of an Official record
From the passage in the letter Of Gen. Wash
hrt H. which have quoted, II will be per-
ccivcd that he thought this Office might be
c, mbined with that OF regular newspaper ;and
II is certain that The avidiiy Of the pubic for
hcws of the less important kind, greatly con-
tributes to give wings to the weighter matter
which may be called congressional news.
Having succeeded IN my purpose OF perfect.
ing the reports of the debates in congress and
giving them the official stamp, now propose TO
send them abroad, in connection with the news
Of the cay, IN such haste as shall outsifp iull
aud accurate intelligence sent from the seat 0i
Government in any other form whatever. IL
will even anticipate the scraps oil news ior-
warded TO cities within two hundred ana MY

morning papers, for instance, of the city OF
New York, the Globe containing them will
have rcac he'd the post Office of that city by the
Express Mail Of the previous night. The pro-

Departments, through official sources. the mat
tCrs Of moment transacted III them, and, thro'
agents employed for the purpose, all the CITY
news of consequence in sufficient time to be put
into the Globe and mailed in the Express Mail
trains. In this way hope to create new era
in the diSst mlna,ion Of news from aShington.
Hitherto no newspaper has att, mp'ed 10 give

Washington has now become 80 great cen
t.r of political interest during all the ycar-ihc
proceedings of the Executive Departments and
the information collected by them even during
the recess Of congress is of so much Importance
to the interests of every section OF the country
that shall continue the publication of the
