TIE DAILY GLOBE
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE

In SutIGHlGIluG NV IItClGSl AZ lliS VI az
Of great political party, ! cherished the
purpose of continuing the Congressional
| Globe. and, if possible, in time, to perfect il
into n fun history Of the action Of Congress
giving the debates accurately and fully with
; he proCeedings-a stamped with the verify
of an official record. From the passage in
the lertet 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 OF the
/ less important kind greatly contributes to
give wings 10 the weighter matter which
NAV be called Congressional news
/ Having succeeded in nay purpose Of per
, fecIing the reports OF the debates in Congress
and giving them the official stamp, now
propose 10 send them abroad, IN connection
/ with The news of the day, in such haste as
! shall outslrip full and accurate intelligence
/ sent from the seat of Government in any
other form whatever. 1t viii even antici-
! pate the SCRAPS Of news forwarded to cities
within two hundred and fifty miles of Wash
Ingion by telegraph. Belor the events thus
transmitted are published in the morning
papers, (for instance, Of the city OF \. ! ork)
| 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.
VIII have a corps Of sixteen Reporters
| in Congress each in succession VIII take
notes during five minutes; then retire, pre-
pire them for the Press, put them slip by
slip iu the hands of COmpositOrS; 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 De IN print. | shall
by this means be enabled to send by the
Express Mail Of o'clock p. m. for the
East. West, and North. and by that of o.
clock p. m for the South, all tie proceed
Ings oACongress up to the ordinary hour OF
adjournment. Thus the accurate debates o.
Congress viii 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 to gather from remote sections Of the
country by telegraph. | viii obtain from
The Executive Departments, through official
sources, the matters of moment transacted
in them, and, through agents employed lUI
the purpose. all the city news Of conse
qUence in sufficient time to he put into the
the Globe anb mailed in the Express Mail
Trains. In this way hope TO create a new
era in the dissemination Of news from
WASHINGTON. Hithetto no newsdaper has
attempted TO give authentic accounts OF
things done at Washington beloie the pub
lie mind al a distance had received lis hrs
Impressions fom irresponsible ielegraphic
dispatches, or by letter writers biased by
peculiar views.
L. io- n
center Of political interest during all the
year-the proceedings Of the Executive De
partments and the informlliOu collected by
Them nyen duriOg the recess Of Congress Is
Of so much Importance to ihe interests Of
every section of the Counlry-that / shall
continue the publication Of the daily paper
permanently, with view 20 become the
vehicle Of the earliest and most colect in
lelligence.
Ii Is part OF my plan TO reduce the price
OF the daily paper to half that Of similar pa
pers and thus hope to extend its cncuIa-
tion 50 as to invite advertisements. ] vii!
publish advertisements Of the Government.
TO subscribers in the cities hope 10 SUB
NIT such terms as will induce them 10 ad-
verise 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 a large number of copies.
The installation Of a new Admins.i alton
and a new Congress portends much change
in the course OF public affairs as the result
Of tue 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
sleadS, and making every man treeholder
who may choose to become one; the approx
imatIcn of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans
by a national railroad across the territory OF
the Union, reform in the Army. Navy, and
civil oflices-all these great questions, with
d thousand minor ones, deeply affecting
mult!udes Of men and every State in the
Uuion, will, now being matured by public o
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, il not alter es-
sentially, the party organizations Of The
country.
To these elements Of interest another is
likely to be introduced by the interposition
of the aeitations of Europe. After nearly
forty years of peace IN Europe there is an
evident restlessness that DOW seems traught
with tendencies threatening war; and II war
comes, ia all likelihood there will follow
such universal change that the United
States can scarcely hope TO escape It's Vor-
tex. Indeed, from late events it is apparent
that our Government is already drawn into
European difiicuItiee. These circumstances
are calculated 10 draw the public mind to-
wards the next Congress with much expec
ialiOn
