THE DAILY GLOBE
AND
THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
In surrendering my interest in the organ
Of great political party, cherished the
purpose Of continuing the Coneressiuna,
Globe, aud, if possible, in time, TO perfect il
INTO n full history Of the action of Cong Iess
giving the debates accurately and fully with
the proceedings-a stamped with the verify
of an official record From the passage in
the letter Of General Washington, which
have quoted, il will be perceived that he
thought this office might be combined with
that Of regular newspaper; and it is certain
that the avIdity ofthe public for Jews Of the
less important kind greatly contributes TO
give wings 10 the weghter matter which
may be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose Of per
Gecting 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 day, in such haste as
shall ouiSirip full and accurate intelligence
sent from the seat Of Government in any
other form whatever. 1t will even antici-
pate the scraps Of news forwarded TO cities
within Two hundred and fifty miles Of Wash
lngton by telegraph. Before the events thus
transmitted are published in the morning
papers, (for instance, of the city OF \. York, J
the Globe containing them will have reached
the post office Of that city by the Express
Mail of the previous ght. The process by
which this will be effected | now lay before
the public.

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 a debate is going on in Congress. ii
will be put in type, and in few minutes
after it is ended it will be in print. | shall
by this means be enabled to send by the
Express Mail Of o'clock p. IN. for the
East, West, and North, and by that OF o.
clock p. m. for the South, all the proceed

Thus the accurate debates OF
Congress will reach the cities two hundred
and fifty miles from the Capitol before their
daily morning papers are in circulation.
The miscellaneous news | shall be care
ful 10 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
the Globe and mailed in the Express Mail
trains In this way hope to create new
era in the dissemination Of news from
Washington. Hitherto no newspaper has
attempted 20 give authentic accounts Of
things done al Washington before the pub

Impressions fem irresponsible telegraphic
or by letter writers biased by
peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great a
center of political interest during all the
year-the proceedings of the Executive De
partnIenis and the information collected by
them even during the recess of Congress Is
Cf so much importance TO the interests OF
every section OF the country-that l shall
continue the publication of the daily paper
permanently, with a view 70 become the
vehicle Of the earliest and most correct in
ielligence. e,
1t is part OF my plan TO reduce the price
Of the daily paper 10 half that Of similar pa
pers and thus hope to extend It's circula-
tion so as to invite advertisements. will
publish advertisements Of the Government.
To subscribers in the cities hope to sub
nit such terms as will induce them TO ad-
vertisG their business in every village
throughout the Union, where the Globe is
sent daily under the franks of members OF
Congress, all of whom take it, and some OF
them large number Of copies
The installation Of a new AdmInlstra alton
and a new Congress pOrtends much change
in the course of public affairs as the result
of the next session. Many vast interests
which were brought up in the last Congress
were laid over by the Democratic majority to
await the action of Democratic Executive.
The new modelling of the tariff; the new
land system; the question OF giving home
steads, and making every man freeholderI
who may choose TO become one; the approx
lmatlon of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
by a national railroad across the territory OF
the Union, reform in the Army, Navy, and
civil offices--all these great questions, with
a thousand minor ones, deeply affecting
multi!udeS of men and every State in the
Uuion, will, now being matured by public 0
pinion, come up for the Governments decis
ion. These new ISSUES, cooperating with
old ones, coming up TO be disposed of by
new actors on the scenes at Washington,
will be apt to modify greatly, if not alter es-
senlially, the party organizations of the
TO these elements Of interest another is
llGely TO be introduced by the interposilion
of the agitaiions of Europe. After nearly
forty years Of peace in Europe there is an
evident restlessness that now seems fraughl
with tendencies threatening war; and if war
comes, in all likelihood there will follow
such universal change that the United
States can scarcely hope TO escape It's yOr
tex Indeed, from late events ii is sppafent
hat our Government is already drawn into
European difficulties. These circumstances
are calculated 10 draw the public mind to-
wards the next Congress with much exPec
