The DAILY GLOBE
The CoNGREssIoNAL GLOBE.
In surrendering my interest in the organ
of great political party, | cherished the
purpose of continuing the Congressional
Globe, and, ifposslbIe, in time, to periec'
it into full history of the action Of Con
gress, giving the debates accurately aud full.
with the proceedings--sll stamped with the
verify of an official record. From the pas
sage in the letter of General Washington
which | have quoted, II will be perceived
that he thought this Office might be com
bned with that of regular newspaper anc
it is certain that the avidiiy Of the public
Coz news of the less important kind greatly
contributes to give wings TO the weightler
matter which may be called Congressional
news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of per.
feeling the reports of the debates in Con.
gress and giving them the official stamp,
now propose to send them abroad. in con-
nec,ion with the news of the day, in such
haste as shall outstrip full and accurate in-
tellgence sent from the seat Of Goyernment
in any other form whatever. 1t will even
anticipate the scraps OF news forwarded TO
cities within two hundred and fifty miles OF
Washington by telegraph. Before tse
events thus transmitted are published in the
morning papers, (cr instance, of the city
of New York, the Globe containing them
will have reached the post office of that city
by the Express Mail of the previous night.
The process by which this will be effected
| now lay before the public.
will have a corps Of sixteen Reporters
in Congress; each in successor will take
notes during five minutes, then retire, pre-
pare them for the Press, put them slip by
slip IN the hands of compostors, and thus,
while debate is going on in Congress, 1t
will be put in type ,sand in few minutes
after it is ende il will be in print. shall
by this means be enabled to send by the
Express Mail of 5 o'clock p. IN. for the
East West, and North, aud by that of 9
o. clock p. m. FOR the South, all the proceed
ings of Congress up to the ordinary hour of
Thus the accurate debates
of Congress will reach the cities two hun
bred and fifty miles from the Capitol before
the daily morning papers are IN clrcula-
ton.
The miscellaneous news | shall be care
full to gather from remote sections OF the
country by telegraph. ! will obtain from
The Executive Departments, through Official
sources, the matters of moment transacted
in them, and. through agents employed for
The purpose, all the city news OF conse-
quence in sufficient time TO be put into the
Globe and mailed ia the Express Mail trains.
this way | hope TO create new era IN
the dissemination of news from Washing
ton. Hitherto no newspaper has attempted
TO give authentic accounts Of things done at
Washington before the public mind at a
distance had received its first Impressions
from irresponsible telegraphic dispatches.

Washington has now become so great a

continue the publication of the daily paper
