The DAILY GLOBE AND
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE.
In surrendering my interest in the or
gan Of a great political party, cherished
the purpose OF continuing the Congress
ional Globe, and, if possible. in time. TO
perfect it into full history Of the action
Of Congress, giving the debates accurate
ly and fully with the proeeedings--all
stamped with the verify of an official rec.
ord. From the passage in The letter oil
General Washington. which have quo.
ted, il will be perceived that he thought
this office might be combined with that Of
a regular newspaper aud il is certain
that the avidity Of the public for news oil
the less important kind greatly contri
butcs 10 give wings to the welghtier mat.
ter which may be called Congressional
news.
Having succeeded in my purposes OIL
perfecting 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 outstrip full and &C.
curate intelligence sent IRON the seat ol
Government in any other form whatever
II will even anticipate The scraps of news
forwarded 10 cities within two hundred
and fifty miles of Washington by tele.
graph. Before the events thus Transmitted
are published in the morning papers, (for
instance, OF the city of New York. J 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 corps of sixteen Reporters
in Congress; each in succession will take
notes during five minutes, then retire. pre-
pare them for the Press. put them slip by
slip in the hands OF compositors. and thus,
whlle debate is going on in Congress. il
will br put in type. and in few minutes
after il is ended it will be in print shall
b, this means be enabled to send by the
Express Mail OF s O'Clock p. m. for the
East, West, and North. and by that of 8
o'clock p. m. Tor the South, all the pro.
ceedings OF Congress up 10 the ordinary
hour Of adjournment. Thus the accurate
debates of Congress will reach the cities
Two hundred and fifty miles from the Cap.
ilol before their daily morning papers are
in circulation.
The miscellaneous news shall be care
ful to gather from remote sections of the
country by telegraph. will obtain from
the Executive Departments, through off
cial sources. the matters of moment trans
acted in them, and, through agents EN-.
pIoyed for the purpose. all the cit, news
OF consequence in sufficient time to be
put into the Globe and mailed in the Ex.
press Mail trains. In this way hope to
create new era in the dissemination oil
news from Washington. Hitherto no
newspaper has attempted to give aulhen.
tic accounts Of things done at Washing.
ton before The public mind at distance
had received its first impressions from ir.
responsible telegraphic dispatches, or By
letter writer's biased by peculiar views.
Washington has now become so great
a center Of political interest during all the
year-lhe proceedings OF the Executive
Departments and the information collect.
ed by them even during the recess Of
Congress is Ot so much importance to the
interests OF every section OF the country,
that shall continue the publication Of the
daily paper permanently, with view to
become the vehicle of the earliest and
most correct intelligence.
Ii is part ofmy plan to reduce the price
OF the daily to half that of similar daily
papers; and thus hope TO extend its cir.
culation so as to invite advertisements -
will publish advertisements of the Gov.
ernment. To subscribers in the cities |
hope TO submit such terms as will induce
them to advertise 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 Administra.
ton and 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 we're laid over by the Demo
cratic majority TO await the action Of q
Democratic Executive. The new mod.
cling of the tariff; the new land system
the question of giving homesteads, and
making every man freeholder who may
choose 10 become one /; The approxima
ton of the Atlantic and Pseaesooeans by
natioal railroad across gI|e lprrltory OF
the Union reform in the Army, Navy. Z
and civil offices--all these great ques-
tons, with thousand minor ones, deeply
