The DAILY GLOBE
AND
THE CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
In surrendering my interest in the organ
of great political party, | cherished the
purpose Of continuing the Congressional
Globe, and, if possible, in time, to perfect il
into a full history of the action of Congress,
giving the debates accurately and fully with
the proceedings-all stamped with the verify
Of an official record From the passage in
The letter Of General Washington, which
have quoted, it will be perceived that he
thought this office might be combined with
that Of a regular newspaper; and 1t is certain
that the avidity of the public for Jews oil the
less important kind greatly contributes TO
Give wings 10 the weehtier matter which
NAV be called Congressional news.
Having succeeded in my purpose OF per-
fecting 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 ouislrip 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
ncion by telegraph. Before the events thus
transmitted are published in the morning
pdpers, (for instance. of the city of \. York;
the lobe 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 4 corps Of sixteen Reporters
in Congress each in succession viii take
notes during five minutes; then retire, pre-
lare them iUT the Press, put Them slip by
Slip ia the hands Of cOmpositOTS; and thus
while a debate is going on in Congress, II
will he put in type, and in few minutes
after il is ended il will be in print. | shall
bv this means be enabled 10 send by the
Express Mail Of 5 O'Clock p. n. for the
East, West, and North, and by that OF o
clock p. IN. for the South, all the proceed
ings Of Congress up TO The ordinary hour OF
adjournment. Thus the accurate debates o.
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 20 gather from remote sections OF the
country hy telegraph. | will obtain from
The Executive Departments, through official
sources, the matters of moment transacted
In them, and, through agents employed tor
the purpose. all the city news OF conSe-
cuence in sufficient time to be put into the
the Globe and mailed in the Express Mail
tIaEs Ia this way hope 10 create a new
era in lhe dissemination of news from
Washington Hitherto no newspaper has
attempted TO give authentic accounts Of
things done al Washington before the pub
lie mind al a distance had received its frs
impressions fom irresponsible telegraphic
dispatches, or by leller-wrlters biased by
peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great Z
center OF political interest during all The
year-lhe proceedings Of the Executive DE
pariments and the information collected by
lhem even during the recess OF Congress Is
Of SO much importance 10 The interests o.
every section Of the Country-Ihat | shall
continue the publication Of the daily paper
permanently, with view 10 become the
vehicle Of the earliest and most correct In
1elgence.
Il is part or my plan TO reduce the price
of The daily paper 10 half that Of similar pa
pers and thus hope 10 extend It's clrcula
lion so as To invite advertisements. | vii

mil such terms as will induce them 10 ad
veriise their business in every village
