TNHE OFFICIAL PAPER OF CON-

- fGRESS, AND NEWSPAPER FOR THE
PEOPLE.-It will be seen by the annexed ex-
tract from letter of General Washington, to
David Stewart, dated New York, I7th March,
1890, that the idea of such paper as pro-
pose to make the Globe, originated in the mind
of the Father Of his country. Hesaid
s.slt is to be lamented that the editors of the
different Gazettes in the Union do not more gem
orally and more correctly (instead of stufing
their papers with scurrility and nonsensical de-
clamation, which few would read if they were
appraised of the contents) publish the debates
in Congress on all great national questions
The principle upon which the difference of O.
pinions ARISES, as we'll as the decisions: would
then come fully before the public, and afford
the best data for its judgement -[Spark's wri-
tings of Washington, vol. l0. p. S4
The DAILY GLOBE AND THE CONGRESSIONAL
GLoBE.-In surrending my interest in the or
gan of great political party, cherished the
purpose of continuing the Congressional Globe,
and, if possible in time, to perfect it into full
history of the action of Congress, giving the
debates accurately and fully with the proceed
ings-all stamped with the verify Of an official
record. From the passage in the letter Of Gen
eral Washington, which have quoted, it will be
perceived that he thought this Office might be
combined with that of a regular newspaper
and it is certain that the avidity of the public
for news of the less important kind greatly con-
tributes to give wings to the weightier matter
which may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose of perfect
ing the reports of the debates in Congress and
giving the official stamp, l now propose to send
them abroad in connection with the news of
the day, in such haste as shall outstrip full and
accurate intelligence sent from the seat of gov
ernment 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 the events
thus transmitted are published in the morning
papers, (for 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.
I will have corps of is reporters in Con-
gross; each in succession will take notes during
1--WE minutes, then retire, prepare them for the
Press, put them slip by slip in the hands of the
,compositors, and thus, while a debate is going
on in Congress- it viii be put in type, and in a
few minutes after it is ended it WILDE in print
i shabby this means be enabled to send by the
Express Mail of o'lcock, P. NJ, or the East,
West, and North, and by that of o'clock, P. NJ.
for the south all the proceedings of Congress up
tothe ordinary hour of adjournment. Thus the
accurate debates of Congress will reach the cit
les two hundred and fifty miles from the Capt.
tol before their daily morning papers are in cir
,culation.
The miscellaneous news shall be careful to
gather from remote sections of the country by
telegraph. i will obtain from the Executive
Departments, through official sources, the mat
ters moment transacted in them, and, through
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 hopeto create new era
in the dissemination of news from Washington
Hitherto no newspaper has attempted to give
authentic accounts of things done at Washing
ton before the public mind at distance had re
ccived it's first impressions from irresponsible
telegraphic dispatchers, or by letter-writer
biased by peculiar views.
"a Washington has now become so great cen
ter. of political interest during the year-th'
proceedings of the Executive Departments ant
the information collected by them even during
the recess of Congress is Of SO much impor
tance tn the. interests of every section of tn,
counTy---that shall continue the publication
of daily paper permanently, with view t.
become the vehicle of the earliest and most cor
rect intelligence.
=, is part of my plan to reduce the price o
the daily paper to half that of similar daily pa
pers; and thus hope to extend it's circulation
SO as to invite advertisements. l will publisl
embellishments of the Government. To sub
scribers in the cities hope to submit such term
as swill induce them to advertise their buslnes
in every village throughout the Union, wher
the Globe is sent daily under the franks {
members Of Congress, all Of whom take it, an
some of them large number of copies.
y The installation of a new Administration an
a new Congress portends much change in tn
course Of public affairs as the result Of the mex
session. Many vast interests which were bro
up IN the last Congress were laid over by th
Democratic majority to await the action of
Al, :
the tariff the new land system; the question
giving homesteads, and making every man
freeholder who may choose to become one; tn
approximation Of the Atlantic and Pacific ocean

Union; reform in the Army, Navy, and civil 0
